There are a wide variety of blue jeans on the market today. This can be a bonus for those of us who are looking for a great fit. For men, the choice is easier.

They usually know their size and since they don’t wear blue jeans that are fitted, they choose by determining where the jeans touch their bodies and by the look of the jean. For women, choosing jeans is a harder task. They want blue jeans to accent body curves and show off their figures. Therefore, jeans must fit perfectly.

There are five key points on a woman where blue jeans must have an exact fit to make her look her best. These are the seat, thigh, hip and the length of the leg.

Levis Jeans come in a wide variety of styles, colors and leg lengths. To choose a jean that is right for you, determine if you need to purchase petite, standard or tall fit. Does a boot cut or straight leg compliment your body? If you have large hips, choose the boot cut, which will give a more symmetrical look. If your hips are very narrow, you will need to choose a straight legged jean.

A large waist and small thighs look great in hip huggers. Those with short upper bodies look great in a low rise, which makes your mid section look longer. If you have very thin legs, choose a cargo style jean. If style is your only concern, carpenter pants make a definite statement.

Women who have a small waist and large behind look best in jeans that have a loose fit. Those who dislike tight fitting jeans should choose a relaxed fit. Shorter women look terrific in flared legs that make them look taller.

Those women who want their tummies to look flatter should choose a dark colored medium or high rise jean. Dark colors and flared legs make thighs look smaller. For those with thin hips, wear jeans with slit pockets in the front. Avoid jeans with designs or contrast stitching.

Stretch denim is very popular today and for good reason. It flatters all figures from the very thin to a full, mature figure.

Now that you know how to choose a perfect fitting jean for your figure, buy several pair that will flatter your figure and turn heads your way wherever you go. Happy shopping!
