The perfect jeans for your figure

The search for the perfect pair of jeans is often not without its ups and downs. Would you like to know what the perfect pair of jeans is for your figure and how to find them? Then read on.

Not everyone is the same and your jeans don't have to be either. There are so many styles and models that you sometimes can't see the wood for the trees. Besides, every type of figure looks good in a different model.  

What kind of figures do we know?

#1 Hourglass figure

Someone with an hourglass figure has a distinct waist and shoulders that are as wide as the hips. Hourglasses can wear just about anything. But, the classic skinny jeans and flared jeans probably look best on you. These trousers often have a slightly higher waist so they will fit you nicely. A wider model, think of the boyfriend jeans, will not look as good on your figure.

 

         

#2 Rectangle figure

Someone with a rectangular figure has, as the name suggests, an almost straight figure. There is little difference in the width of the waist, shoulders and hips. You can, however, create a waist. The best way to do this is by wearing loose fit jeans. Think of mom jeans or boyfriend jeans. You can also accentuate your slim body by wearing a nice pair of skinny jeans. 

             

#3 Peer figure

The pear is a common figure among women. Women with a pear shape have narrow shoulders and proportionally wider hips. The centre of gravity of your body lies at the hips. With beautiful bootcut jeans you can bring your figure into proportion. A dark hue is always beautiful! Prints are probably best avoided. 

Do you want to emphasise your hips? Then go for nice skinny jeans.

                  

#4 Apple figure

If you have an apple figure, you have no clear waist and your hips are narrower than your shoulders and bosom. The centre of gravity of your body is the upper part.

High-waisted trousers with wide legs will look great on you. You can also wear a straight cut. Besides classic demin, a daring print will also look great on you! With your slim legs you can wear it very well.

        

Tips for your search

If you know what looks good on your figure, you can start shopping in a targeted way. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when buying jeans:

#1 Buy jeans too small

Not sure about your size? Then always go for something too small. Not too small of course, you still need to be able to breathe. Trousers with elastane often stretch about one size. So don't buy your trousers too big.

#2 Do I have the right size?

You can of course try on the jeans in the shop, perhaps with some help and advice. Still can't work it out? You can put the waistband of the jeans around your neck. Do the ends overlap, then your jeans are too big, do they not touch? Then the jeans are too small. Make sure the ends of the jeans are just touching, then the size is perfect!

 #3 Dark or light

What colour jeans do you prefer? A dark colour of jeans dresses up nicely. A light pair of jeans looks a bit fuller and is especially beautiful with a shelf or apple shape.
