- Know what your physical assets are and what your limitations are before you go shopping.
- Know what you dislike about how jeans fit, i.e. I don't like when they are too low.
- Go to a store such as Nordstrom's that has a variety of designs and styles for you to choose from.
- Find someone at the store to assist you; this will save you time and from getting frustrated.
- Be open and honest with the associate; tell him or her what you like and dislike so they can find the best styles to fit your needs.
- If you have a pair of jeans at home, that you love, bring them with you or make sure to know the brand so you can use them as a reference point.
- You MUST buy jeans to fit the largest part of your body. If you have a larger waist and smaller legs you have to fit your waist not your legs.
- Always be willing to alter your jeans.
- If your jeans are too long they can be easily altered as long as you know what to tell the seamstress. Tell him or her that you want an original hem or in Nordstrom's lingo a "tricky hem".
- If you are a curvier body type - stay away from skinny jeans.
- If you do wear skinny jeans put a pair of heals with the jeans to create a more flattering look.
- If you are short waisted, do not wear high waisted jeans. A high waist will make you look even shorter waisted.
- If you are tall, trouser jeans and high waist jeans are a great look for you.
- If you carry your weight in your bottom do not wear jeans that have accentuated pockets such as folded pockets, large pockets, or pockets with detail.
- If you are flat in the back, pocket details would be an asset for your shape.
- Dark denim is always the most flattering wash.
- White denim has been a huge trend for summer and will carry through the beginning of fall. If you feel comfortable with white don't be afraid to wear it!
- Colored denim is going to be a huge trend for fall.
- If you think colored denim is too trendy - try a pair of grey jeans. They will be a huge hit for fall or even to wear now.
- Don't be afraid to dress up your denim with a pair of heals and a nice top to go out for the night.
- Jeans are for everyone! Even if you think you can't pull them off you can!
