Jeans are jeans are jeans, right? Wrong! The cuts, shapes, styles, washes, brands and colours very enormously, giving you an almost endless supply to choose from!
Colour the occasion
Traditional blue jeans can be worn every day, and can be styled across the range from casual to workwear, and is never out of style. Black jeans translate almost seamlessly from daytime to nighttime, and are considered more formal, when the occasion calls for it. Remember that the wash also affects the colour intensity, and lighter washes are considered more informal than dark.
Make it work for you
It should go without saying that your jeans should be a good fit for your body. Try on, and then try on some more, until you find a few pairs you like. From there, you can decide which one gives you the best fit. Don’t hold back from buying multiples if the style is really great, or make a note of what the style and size is, to make future purchases easier.
Work what you’ve got
If you know a certain part of your body is great, jeans can help you accentuate it and show it off without exposing skin. Got a great pair of long legs? Wrap them in some skinny jeans to show them off to their full potential! Worried about a wobbly tummy? Help is at hand in high-rise jeans, to tuck and trim your stomach instantly. Understanding what different styles do to the body will help you to make the best decision, although classic styles will never go out of fashion, so aim for skinny, bootcut or flare when in doubt!
Work with your lifestyle
What do you enjoy doing? Where do you like going? Are you active or more sedentary? These are great questions to ask when trying to determine what jeans to buy. Take your lifestyle and activities into account when you weigh up your jeans options, and let your lifestyle guide your choices.
Light wash distressed jeans are a great choice of jeans for women who live a relaxed, casual lifestyle. Men who live a more formal lifestyle might benefit from a darker wash in a structured cut. The bottom line is that, no matter who you are or what your life dictates, there will be a pair of jeans that are a good match for you. I would definitely encourage you to play around with unexpected options too – you’ll be surprised at how great you can look in a style you’ve never considered before.
If you are a dark wash person, mix things up by giving a lighter wash a bash. Stickler for skinnies? Step outside your comfort zone by picking a pair of flare cut jeans. After all – nothing ventured, nothing gained, and broadening your horizons and challenging old habits might just end up landing you that perfect pair. Goodbye to old and dated, hello to brand new you and a brand new look, thanks to good choices in jeans.
