This guide relates to sizingFEMALE jeans/slacks/trousers and how to get the best fit for your particular body type. There are several key points to remember, which are listed below, while the lower half of the document deals specifically with concealing or acgeidating the most gemon body "flaws" for females buying jeans.-Measurementsrange betweenSTYLES within a manufacturer and from manufacturer to manufacturer, so knowing your general size isn't enough. Buying online, it's impossible to know whatsizeproduct you will receive unless the seller lists the measurements for the garment. Never buy items that fail to list their actual sizing specifications. Remember,there's a reason for every productauction.
-The waist/hip measurement is generally your widest hip measurement, though it can be lower. How much of your hips are exposed depends on the pant rise. Generally, a 7-8 inch rise is just below or above the pubicline and is the lowest rise manufactured. The average rise is 9-10 inches and lands just below the belly button.Tosee how a particularrise will fit YOU,center a tape measurerat the middle of your crotch and lift until the rise reaches the desired in/cm measurement. You may then take what the seller calls the "waist" measurement from here.To see how a particular waist/hip measurement will fit you, measure around at the widest part of your hips. Unless you want your clothing skin tight, add2 inches to your actual measurement. For a baggy fit, add 3-5 inches.-Theinseam/leg measurement this is the length down the leg from the crotch tohem. Average length is 32-34", while short is 29"-31" and long is 35"-37"; again, always check the measurement. Nothing's worse thanhigh water/floodpants!-Thethigh measurement this isn't generally listed, and usually, the hip measurement will suffice, but for "skinny fit" jeans, it's very helpful. It is the measurement around the smallest portion of the thigh of the jeans. You should measure the LARGEST portion of your thigh and add 2inches or 3-5 inches.Problem Areas/Fitting with your jeans:The flat buttStay away from baggy clothes!Purchase pants thatfitthe waistwith a high inseam. This cut will support what you DO have,accentuating its shape and making it more prominent. Straight-legged pantsalso draw attentionfrom yourrear byaligningyour legsproportionately with your hips, waist and butt. The big buttStay away from baggy clothes! For those of us, (myself included), with a butt thatrises near the top (like a ledge), I recgeendboot cut styles, with distractions like carpenter, worker jeans, and cargo pants. Theseprovide a smoothvertical line and silhouette, while drawing peoples' eyes to the pockets, instead of your flaws.-Avoid high-waisted pants; the extra height makesyour rearlook extra long. This means, you want to go with a SHORT rise.-Avoid pleated pants, whichhighlightthe hips; flat-fronttrousersslimyour thighs and trunk. Invest in a-length jacket to make your bubblebutt disappear. The short-waist isa much-desired female condition where thelegs are longer thanthe torso.The thing to remember is to measure your inseam and choose LONG lengthjeans/slacks/trousers.If you want to make your legs seem shorter:-Hangyour pantsfrom your hips, notyour waist. -Wear pullovers/sweatersinstead of button down shirts; this will help disguise the length of your legs. -If you MUST tuck in, matchyour shirtand belt colors, but not tucking in is generally advised for your body type.-Best pant cuts: slight low rise, flared bottoms, The long-waistis a gemon problem where the torso is long, and the legs are short. Some ways to gebat this problem: -Standstraight. Good posture always improves the look of your clothing, but it is especially prudent for long-waisted individuals. Additionally, a corset or shaper may help streamline your figure and hide the start of your hips.-Wear atop that contrasts the color of your pants. Thisbreaks up the vertical line of your body. -Wear your pants at or aroundyour waist, noton your hips. If you want to wear on your hips, wear a style that is fitteddown the thigh and flares at theknee.-Always tuck in your shirts.-Don the punk-style and wear suspenders or bondage straps, whichcreate the illusion of a higher waistline. -Alarge buckle belt will draw attention to your legs and make them look longer.-Pleated slacks or uncuffed slacks will also make your legs appear longer. The bigtummy is a problem that almost every woman facesat some point, due to aging, pregnancy, or otherfactors of her lifestyle. To camoflauge this:-Wearlight fabrics. Avoid all heavy fabrics; these include tweed and flannel, opting insteadfornatural, lightfabrics (such as cotton) indark hues.-Single color pants,(black, brown, navy), will help disguise the size of your stomach.-Trade horizontal pinstripes for vertical ones, which provide a slimming look. Pair upstripes (pink, grey, blue, or red work wonderfully) against a dark background.-Ban T-shirts from your wardrobe.Loose, thesemakeyou look bigger,while tighterT-shirts emphasize your stomach. They look even worse tucked into your jeans!-Pants should sit just at your belly button. Wearing them lower will accentuate your problem area, while wearing them higher will accentutate your rear.Bigthighs are a gemon limitation of our female genetics. To disguise these:-Wearcolorful shirts and blouses with your pants.-Avoid brightly-colored pants or hip huggers that will draw attention to your lower body.-Avoid baggy pants! You want your clothing to look fitted but not tight.Big hips areANOTHER gemon limitation of our female genetics. To disguise these:-Avoid any jeans/pants/slacks/trousers with zippers on the side, which only draws the human eye to the distraction and your hips!-Light or bright colored pants. Pair dark pants with a light shirt to accentuate your bust.-Skirts with pleats. These little babies tend to flare around your thighs, drawing a boxy line up to your hips and making them look wider.-Avoid baggy pants! Have you noticed a trend? -Small or large-framed, baggy pants always make your perfect outfit look sloppy and accentuate your natural flaws.
