Finding The Perfect Pair of Jeans For your Size and Body Shape.
Finding the perfect pair of Jeans for your body shape could sometimes be a huge task because you want to get the perfect fit.
However, the first step to take in finding the perfect size is to get your accurate measurement as this will go a long way.
So, this brings us to the main measurements needed to achieve this and they include the waist, rise and in seam measurements.
1 Measure your Waist: use a tape to measure the circumference of a couple of inches below your belly button. What you get is your waist.
2. Measure the Rise: you can lay one of your favorite Jean’s on a table or you hang it to achieve this measurement.
Also, take a tape and measure from the waist to the crotch or if you think you will be perfect enough you can measure directly on your body too from your waist to your crotch. This will give the rise measurement.
3 Measure the Inseam: The next thing to measure is the inseam length, so take the tape, and measure down from the crotch seam to the hem on the inside of the leg.
Now that we have gotten these 3 basic measurements you are on your way to getting that perfect fit for your jean in terms of size.
So let’s move on to getting the perfect pair of Jeans to fit in terms of your body shape.
Body shapes differ from person to person and different styles/designs of Jean will also complement some than the others.
1 Pear & Triangular Body Shapes

* Bootcut or wider flares : These will help balance out the hips and keep your legs in proportion with the extra fabric around the calves.
*Long inseams :Having a longer length means you can wear heels under your flares and bootcut jeans.
* Higher rises :buy your jeans with a higher rise as they will bring balance to your shape.
* Jeans with a smaller fitting waist : Most ladies with wider hips often struggle to find jeans that don’t leave a gap at the back of their butt.
* Larger pockets : It is important to enhance your booty since you are blessed with it, so look for larger back pockets as small ones can make it look bigger.
* Stretch denim : Always look for stretch denim as it will hug your body better, creating a more sleek silhouette.
