But how comfortable is that pair of jeans? Does it actually suit your body type?
Body First
Always keep in mind your body type before buying a pair of jeans. The right shape and fit can make the whole of a difference to the comfort factor and also add to your overall look.
Thin and In!
If you have it, flaunt it! Advises fashion designer Nikasha Tawadey, "Highlight your slender waist in skinny, low waist or stretchable jeans. Add a bit of glam by wearing a broad belt.
This works wonders for women who are tall." Nikasha points out that Lycra is an important component in jeans as it gives a stretch effect.
Manish Kelshikar, fashion designer with Shopper's Stop says, "Low-waist, slim or straight fits suit the slender frame."
Spice up your look by wearing revealingly low jeans teamed with a short top to show off your slim waist.
Big is Beautiful
People who are on the heavier side need not try and hide those extra kilos under loose, ill-fitting clothes.
Fashion designer Priyadarshini Rao says, "Opt for low-waist, mid-rise, straight or comfort fit pair of jeans. Low waist jeans camouflage a protruding stomach while a comfort fit gives you a loose yet stylish look."
For those of you with heavy thighs, choose a boot cut or straight cut pair of jeans with a bit of flare. Look smart by adding a lovely, slim belt under your shirt or a top.
While selecting a pair of jeans, not only does the size of the waist matter but also the seams, the cut, the way buttons are styled, how the back pockets are placed and more.
Pick Pocket
A classic pair of jeans has five pockets - two in the front, two at the back and a smaller chor pocket in the right front pocket. While selecting a pair of jeans, always consider how the back pockets are placed. Make sure that they are seamed at the centre to give a shapelier effect.
Jeans with back pockets seamed at the sides may make your hips look broader. Choose jeans which have a variety of patterns - like a patch work or embroidery to give a jazzy look.
Style File
- Add a bit of funk no matter what your body type is. Team your jeans with accessories such as a belt or chunky jewellery. Don a rock star avatar - wear boots to bring attention to your slender legs.
- Look your elegant best with a classy top and a pair of stilettos or pumps. Or carry an embroidered ethnic handbag for the frank and fearless look.
