Fashion Do's of Plus Size Women's Jeans
DO look for
brands that offer plus sized jeans. Instead of passing up
designer jeans altogether, look for designers that offer larger
sizes. Apple Bottom and Seven brands carry plus sized jeans,
allowing you to be comfortable and stylish!. We recommend
Avenue.com for this item.
DO go for dark
wash jeans over light wash. Darker colors always provide a
slimming effect, especially for women who carry more weight on
the lower half of their bodies. Dark blue denim is one of the
hottest choices in fashion right now, so there’s no reason not
to go for the dark jeans. We recommend
Lanebryant.com for this item.
DO choose boot
cut jeans if you are larger in the thigh area. Boot cut jeans
are the perfect way to even out the proportions of your lower
half. The slight flare at the bottom of the jeans balances your
waist and creates a wonderful visually slimming effect. Once you
try boot cut, you’ll never wear anything else. We
recommend
Roaman's for this item.
DO allow
yourself to try low rise jeans, in an appropriate size and
style. Many plus size women’s jeans are made mid rise or high
rise. However there are a few trendy companies making low rise
jeans for fuller figure women. Don’t be afraid to try these
great low rise finds, since low rise jeans can make your torso
look lengthier and slim your upper body. We recommend
Torrid.com for this item.
DO buy jeans
for specific occasions. To be blunt, the jeans you love to wear
to the mall might not be appropriate for a dinner date. So,
think about the various styles of jeans and stock up on jeans
for every occasion. Darker jeans can often be appropriate for
dates and parties while the sand blast or light colored jeans
should be kept for more casual events. We recommend
One Stop Plus for this item.
Style Don'ts of Full Figure Jean Styles
DON'T assume
you always have to wear flare leg jeans. While flare leg jeans
can provide comfort and style, you must be sure to buy them in
the appropriate size. Wide leg jeans that are too loose can make
you look larger than you are, if they are not fitted to the body
at all. So, choose your jeans carefully or wear a fitted shirt
when you choose to sport your flare jeans.
DON'T fall for
the trend of wearing straight leg or “skinny” jeans this season.
While all of Hollywood is pulling out their spandex jeans, stay
away from this horrendous trend. Sure, super skin tight jeans
with tapered legs may look good on a woman who wears a size 0,
but if you look carefully they can even add visual pounds to the
skinniest woman on the planet. They are just not flattering on
any body shape!
DON'T go for
the high waist jeans if you aren’t comfortable with your
midsection. Mid rise jeans are the best for properly concealing
a troublesome midsection. If you want to slim your tummy area,
choose plus size jeans that hit right at your belly button.
DON’T wear
jeans that are too long for you. Be sure you choose your jeans
by length, as well as style and size. If you’re short, look for
those petite lengths. Longer than normal jeans will make you
look un-proportioned and chunky on the bottom half of your body.
Full figure jeans often come in various lengths, so pay
attention when shopping.
