My search for a perfect pair of jeansss :)


If you’re like me, you pretty much live in your jeans all year long.To help us find the best looks for your body and lifestyle, I surveyed from the boutique and websites to spill the details on what makes the perfect pair of jeans.

Jeans are what we live in. Designer jeans, overalls, jean shorts, jean skirts, skinny jeans, boot cut, tapered—the list goes on. Thinking back over the years, in the last 50 years, we’ve seen the bellbottoms of the 1960’s, the high waisted flares of the 1970’s, skinnies of the 1980’s, and bootcuts of the 1990’s all come full circle in the last decade, and all of them are still wearable in the 2000’s. In my opinion, you can’t have too many pairs of jeans. With all the various styles being stylish again, you can create a hundred different looks with a great closet of jeans. So how do you find the perfect styles that work for you?

Try on styles that you don’t think will work on you – you may be surprised. I never thought skinnies or high rises would work on me until I tried them. The higher rises really are slimming and don’t have to look like “mom” jeans. And skinnies can work on just about anyone, with the right top. If you are not skinny everywhere, pair your skinnies with a loose flowy top to hide any tummy but flatter your legs. Not sure if you can pull off the latest trend in denim? Try pairing them with a simple black or white tank or t-shirt and your look will be classic instead of trendy. Besides, most of us want jeans that we can wear for more than one season.


Jeans for a Pear Body Type:

Look for larger pockets on the back of your jeans to make your rump look a touch tinier. The perfect pair has oversized pockets that taper at the bottom to make your behind look rounder and your thighs look smaller in comparison.


Jeans for Thick Thighs:

Do not buy jeans with no stretch. Even with low-rise, I need some room for the proportions to fit right.Do not buy jeans with too much stretch. After one wearing, they loosen up enough to fall off and there is no waistline to hold them up, so you end up hitching them up all day. And showing your panties when you bend over is NOT COOL.
DO buy jeans that are designed for curvier women, like the aforementioned Applebottoms or MXM or whatever.

Invest in premium denim!!! You might balk at the inital price, usually over RM100++, but it’s well worth the investment. You look good, feel good, and have jeans that last at least 4 years per pair. Each premium designer makes a variety of different cuts to suit any body shape, with many different washes(colors.)

Once you’ve found your perfect jeans, if needed, hem them! PLEASE! Nothing looks worse than jeans being walked on!!
