There is just something about a great pair of jeans that can make your day! It can be overwhelming trying to find the right jeans for your body and follow the trends. There are so many choices, from wash to rise to length.
Skinny: hugs your curves from the waist through the hips & legs like a legging
Straight leg: Straight from the hip to the ankle
Flare: flares at the knee, can be bell bottoms or wide leg
Low rise: better for short waisted torso, sits below the hips
Mid-rise: great for a little more tummy support
High rise: helps alleviate muffin top, but can accentuate a gut bump
Light Wash: Spring/Summer, you are more likely to wear pastel-colored tops, paired with light colored jeans and a light colored shoe or sandal.
Dark Wash: Fall/Winter,During cooler seasons, you’re pairing more jewel tone-colored tops/ sweaters with your dark denim and dark shoes & boots for a more complete look.

Girlfriend jean: fitted waist slimmer leg, more flattering fit for most bodies (a slimmed down version of the Boyfriend Jean)
Dad jean: Relaxed fit tapered leg
Destroyed, Distressed, Clean, Oh my!
