DENIM DILEMA


One of the most popular requests I get from my clients is to help them find the perfect pair of jeans! With so many brands to choose from, it can be a totally overwhelming experience! Not to mention, within each brand there are tons of different names, shapes, style and finishes. It’s no surprise that when I was the Jeans Whisperer at last years LUCKY SHOPS event the women were lined up 2 feet deep waiting for me to help them find that perfect pair of jeans!!!! And let me tell you, I think I saw every shape out there—-from round, lean and everything in between! And I am happy to report that every single woman left with a smile on her face and a new pair of amazing jeans that she looked hot in!
The first step is to grab your most brutally honest girlfriend (you know, the one who has no problem telling you when your butt looks as big as a house…in a loving way of course). Be prepared to try on tons of jeans, (after all, Rome wasn’t built in a day) then get ready and hit the stores!
Here’s a simple guideline for you to follow:

1.Don’t be over influenced by trends. The shape of your body should be the determining factor for what style and brand you buy….not necessarily what style or brand your favorite celebrity is wearing!!

2.Size Matters! Pay attention to back pocket size and placement. A good guideline is to avoid small pockets that are set close together if you are well endowed in the bottom region; they will emphasize your butt! If you have a small rear, go for back pockets with lots of detail like flaps…a great way to add some extra padding.

3.Look for Lycra. It will help the denim retain it’s shape so they won’t stretch out so quickly, and will make them more comfortable. But be careful, denim with too much stretch can also emphasize cellulite.

4.Splurge if you can! A great fitting pair of jeans doesn’t come cheaply. However, when you break it down by cost per wear, you totally get your money’s worth!

5.Make sure to tell the tailor to use the original hem when shortening your new pair of fabulous jeans. That is the #1 mistake most people make. Almost all jeans have either a distressed or unique hem, and when it gets chopped off, they just never look the same!

Remember, the perfect pair of jeans exists for everyone!
Good luck and most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!
