Tips for Buying the Perfect Pair of Plus Size Jeans
It wasn't much more than a century ago that Levi Strauss started a little business supplying blue jeans to gold miner at wholesale prices. Those gold miners needed clothes that would endure rugged terrain and rough treatment. Today, blue jeans have earned their place as the most popular and versatile garment, maintaining that same strength yet winning the gold in comfort and appeal.
Plus size shoppers often have difficulty finding jeans that are both fashionable and comfortable. Usually they are too snug in the legs or the waistband digs into the stomach area. The perfect pair of jeans can visually elongate the legs and trim the hips. That is, once you learn to choose jeans for your individual body type.
Since many plus size jeans are now made from a type of material that stretches, or gives a bit, the first thing to consider when buying a pair of jeans is their stretch. This fabric, made from a combination of cotton, polyester, and spandex, stretches only when and where you need it, providing ultimate comfort while improving your figure. The longer you wear stretch jeans throughout the day, the more they will stretch and keep you comfortable.
Plus size jeans that have the "Mid-rise" qualities are the next things to look for. While "low-rise" jeans look good if you have no curves, people with bigger waists, hips or thighs should stay away from low-rise clothes. Even though many of the styles available are low-cut, these types of jeans do not take into account that extra fat may be pushed above the waistband and calling attention to the midriff area. The majority of people who have worn low-rise jeans have found them to be quite uncomfortable.
Classic cut jeans (called mid-rise cut jeans) are much more appealing and attractive and will help you stay stylish while allowing you to stay covered and comfortable. Classic cut jeans sit just below the waist and have a straight leg from the hip all the way down to the floor. This will give a plus size woman's body a long, lean look.
Stay away from plus size jeans that are over done. This includes embellished jeans with embroidery, additional pockets, excess fading and elaborate stitching. Choose plain, dark colored jeans instead. They are ideal with tees, blouses and sweaters.
Individuals who are plus size, need a wider pant leg to balance out their body. Choose a classic five-pocket design in a dark shade.
Jeans can be worn for everyday, or for a night on the town. They go with a variety of shoe-types. They come in a plethora of colors and fabrics. Plus sized people have so many varieties to choose from.
When shopping for any plus-sized clothing, including jeans, be sure to check the fabric's quality of stretch and rise. Once you find a pair of plus-sized jeans that fit and look the best on you, it's worth your while to buy more than one pair, because they will not only make you look better, but they will make you feel great, too.About the author:
