Jean-ius

Once upon a time there was a girl that went on 213 dates in hopes that she would find The One. The one that would make her feel good about herself. The one that would support her from morning till night. The one that would hug her in all the right ways.

You know, the perfect pair of blue jeans.

After many ill-fitting suitors, recently in a pure, white dressing room she tied the knot. And now the pair {of jeans} lives happily ever after in the third drawer of her dresser.

The End.

Still looking for the missing piece that completes your all-Americana look? Let me play matchmaker and check out my guide of the traits you should be looking for.

If you have tummy troubles…

Go for a fit that sits just under your belly button and has a little bit of stretch.

If you have curves…

Look for jeans that go higher in the back to properly cover your assets. Literally. And so there isn’t an unflattering gapping situation, look for pants that have a seam at the waistband that was cut at a curve – not a straight, single piece of fabric.

If you have tomboyish traits…

You can play around with all sorts of fits and have success, but to really score high on your jean-ius IQ it’s best to go for a slimmer fit to give the illusion of shape.

If you have long legs…

Scale the racks for jeans with a longer inseam to cover those supermodel gams.

If you have petite portions…

Credit info: Express, Boot Cut Stella Regular Fit Jean, $80; Gap, Real Straight Jean, $70; True Religion, Becky Lonestar Jean, $172

Don’t overdo it when it comes to material. Pass on mega-wide, long-legged bell bottoms and keep it tailored and simple.
