Food For Thought... Don't End Up A Muffin Top...

It is smart to keep an open mind when shopping for jeans. Don't make these guidelines the bible of what to try on.But do try on the suggested style first, and make sure to try several brand names. All brands are not equal...

So- you have fallen in love with a jean that is out of your suggested body style? They look great! They are comfortable! If they fit you must charge it!

On the other hand - If you fall in love with a pair of jeans that just don't fit- you must admit, and do not buy them... Walk away, and don't look back, there are loads more where they came from.

Pockets- Be careful Of these Little Buggers...

Be aware of what's behind you! Back pockets can reflect the size of your Bottom. Both the placement and size can have a great effect on how well your backside looks walking away.

What to avoid. Avoid tiny pockets as well as pockets that are set to far apart. Pockets such as these wills make your backside look "fat". Pockets that are added lower on the jeans will tend to make your bottom look higher. Another tip, don't over do the embellishments you will find on jeans these days. The faded rear also is hard to pull off. Makes the but really stand out...
