Finding the perfect fit for your jeans can be a pain in the you-know-what. For the super-slim, the problem often lies in the back: sagging. For everyone else, the overly tight look can be rather unflattering. When choosing a pair of slim-fitting denim keep these tips in mind:
1. They should sit just below your waist. So if you’re having to pull them above your waist to sit comfortably or to avoid dragging them on the ground, they’re way too tight and/or way too long. Try another pair!
2. The jeans should be close-fitting in the legs and seat, but not too tight that you literally can’t move around and not so loose that they look frumpy and unstylish. Tapering around the ankle is an added bonus to complete the slim look, but not always necessary.
3. Be sure you can successfully bend over and sit down, keeping in mind that denim stretches the more you wear it. But you’ve gotta be able to move! You may look good in the dressing room, but if you can’t leave it, who will see your classy, slim look other than yourself?
