Best Denim For Your Shape
If You Have a tummy…
1. Select a moderate rise, which is about eight to nine inches from crotch to waist. “The waistband should hit just below your belly button, so that it will cover your stomach and rein in the problem area,” says Carly Lundy, creative director for the National Jean Company (nationaljeancompany.com), a chain of premium denim boutiques. Also look for a wide waistband and a bit of stretch (roughly 2 percent); both will provide a subtle, girdlelike effect.2. The cotton-lined waistband “rests softly against the stomach without squeezing the skin,” says Lundy.
3. Divine Rights of Denim The double-button waistband of these trousers ensures a hold-you-in fit.
If You Have an Hourglass Figure…
4. “The curvier you are, the more you need jeans that are cut higher in the back to fit over your seat and keep you covered,” says Blair Newell, vice president of product development for Zafu.com, an online jeans matchmaker. Also, since an hourglass shape is known for a small waist, look for a contoured waistband (you’ll notice a seam that indicates the waistband was cut on a curve and sewn together instead of being one piece of fabric); this will help reduce gaping.5. To flatter hips best, choose a tapered leg instead of a skinny one, like this pair with roomier thighs and less narrow ankles.
If You Have Full Hips and Thighs…
6. Look for a contoured waist and a higher rise in the back than in the front. And the front rise shouldn’t be less than eight inches. “The waistband should hit at the hipbone or the belly button,” says Gretta Monahan, a cohost of Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style. “This way, it won’t cut into the body at the widest spot.” To hold in and slim the thighs, opt for a rigid fabric that has no more than 2 percent stretch.7. The almost straight―not ankle-hugging―legs make for a more wearable version of the skinny trend.
8. Fashionable wide legs offer a roomy fit in the thighs.
If You Have a Straight Figure…
9. Anything goes in terms of rises and styles―this body type can get away with low-riders, high-waisted cuts, light washes, and heavily distressed treatments. But for jeans that flatter best, stick with a pair that has a slimmer, tighter fit and a waistband that runs (relatively) straight across the middle. “If the waistband is curved too much, it can create unflattering spillage,” says Jessica Arredondo, cofounder of Truejeans.com, a site that recommends jeans based on your measurements and body type.10. A low rise emphasizes the hips, and the snug fit plays up the legs.

Random Thought // Trust Him All The TIme
Hi there, no matter what happen in your life right now, just TRUST GOD. He knows the best for you and me.. Don't ever give up, keep your faith, think positive and be happy, a cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. (proverb 17:22) And remember one thing, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. (romans 8:28) Have a great day, oXXo
