Finding the Perfect Jeans

Posted on September 7th, 2009 under Articles, Fashion

Finding the perfect jeans for your body can be the most daunting task a woman can go through. Jeans are a crucial wardrobe item, and are possibly the most versatile clothing item out there. They can be dressy, casual, baggy or slimming. Unfortunately, as if women don’t struggle with their body image enough, styles and sizing vary in fit from brand to brand.

If you’re looking for a way to figure out your fail proof perfect jean, the solution is just a click away. Various sites like Zafu, ILoveJeans and MyShape have created a perfect fit calculator comprised of a few questions about your body type and size that will come up with several options for you to try out. Try out these sites to get a starting point for your style.

After you have figured out the style, the unavoidable step is trying them on at the stores. By answering truthfully, which is easy when it’s an online tool, you’ll be on your way to having some great new jeans that will hopefully be the best fit you’ve had

When you get to the store, grab a few options to try on. Walk around in the jeans and make sure you’re comfortable in them. Remember, these online calculators are just a starting point to the perfect style of jeans based on your body type. It doesn’t hurt to try on a few other styles just to get a better idea of how they fit on your body, and which ones work and which ones don’t work.

I tried this tool myself, and found out that the style I had been choosing really was my perfect style, but the new suggested brands fit better than the ones I had been choosing previously. If they are a little more expensive than you’d normally dish out for jeans, shop around online for the same size, style and brand and you’ll more than likely find your pair for a little cheaper.

Good luck on your jeans hunt! Your perfect pair are just a click away now… You have to love technology!
