So many new styles and washes – where to start?
Body shape and your height help you determine what jean style is best for you. Most of the wide-legged jeans will be very long, so getting them shortened is your best bet to get the proportion correct. If you pick the barrel jean, a high bootie or platform loafer will look the best. Getting a modern updated pair of jeans can be a task that will test your patience for sure. Finding a happy place between an updated baggy that’s “all-fashion” and one that you will look slim and trim in is something you will need to decide for yourself.
Coco Goose, an online store has an amazing assortment of jeans. If you are wondering what happened to the “skinny”, this site will give you an idea. Sixty-one different brands and styles!
If you lean toward a tailored jean, the straight will be your new trim-fit bottom that isn’t too tight on the calf. Wear them cuffed or uncuffed.
Midrise– some of us that are finding that the super high-rise jeans are just too much. One thing to note when ordering online (or have me do it for you) is to pay attention to the length of the rise. Anything that measures more than an 11inch rise will be high-rise. Another measurement to consider is the leg width. Anything under a 12-inch leg with will be on the slim or straight side. I would consider a 17 to 20-inch leg width for most that want to venture into a wider leg jean.
