Jeans are a staple item for everyone’s wardrobe, and chances are you’ll be the owner of more than one pair. Jeans can be worn for all manner of occasions, but choosing the perfect pair to suit your body shape, can sometimes prove difficult. There are lots of varieties to choose from including; skinny, boyfriend, flared, boot cut, high waisted and low waisted, and finding the right pair can really flatter your figure. The same rules also apply to most everyday women’s trousers which make a great alternative to jeans.
Tall and Slim
If you are lucky enough to have a tall and slim body shape, then skinny jeans are a good choice for you. Skinny jeans cling tightly to the body, so these will show off your legs and accentuate your small frame. These styles of jeans can be worn with a pair of ankle boots for an everyday look, or heels for a night out or special occasion. Low waisted styles of jeans will also suit this body shape.Â
Pear Shaped
Boot-cut jeans can be very flattering for ladies who carry more weight on their bottom half. As they sit quite loosely, they will disguise bigger hips and bums, and make legs look leaner. A good choice if you want to deflect attention away from any of these areas, but still want to show off your curves. It is also best to wear your boot-cut jeans in darker colours, as this will also help take attention away from your bottom half, and up towards your smaller top half. High waisted jeans will also suit this type of body shape. Boot-cut jeans are best worn with a pair of boots, or heels, as these will make your legs appear slimmer, and give your height an extra boost.
Apple ShapedÂ
Apple shaped ladies tend to be in proportion, but with a larger mid section, with an undefined waist area. Boot-cut jeans are ideal for this body shape as well, as they will help make your figure appear more proportionate. Jeans with a flat front are flattering for apple shaped bodies, as they will help make this area look slimmer. Back pockets with flaps, are also beneficial for apples, as they will make your bottom appear more voluptuous. Apple shapes can also wear skinny jeans, but it may be best to wear a longer top with these, such as a tunic top, as this will cover up your bigger midriff area.
Hourglass
Hourglass shaped ladies are curvaceous, with bigger hips, bums and bust, with a small and well-defined waist. Skinny jeans can work for this body shape, depending on how curvy you are, as they will cling to you and make the most of your figure. Boot-cut jeans will also work for this body shape, as they will accentuate your gorgeous curves, whilst taking attention away from your hips.
Full Figured
Ladies who are large all over, tend to believe they can’t wear jeans at all, but this is not true. The best jeans for this body shape is straight legged, as they won’t hug your curves too much, and will make your legs appear leaner. Flare style jeans can also work for those will a full figure.
There are so many of us ladies out there who just want to look and feel great in our clothes; feel fashionable and feel confident. In recent years we have started to discover the secret to looking fabulous- Body Shapes. If you know your correct body shape, then there is plenty of advice available on the types of clothes that you should wear, and the types that you should avoid. Of course, every single one of us looks different, and two pear-shaped people may be one taller than the other, or have a few more wobbly bits than the other. However, finding your shape isnâ??t always the exact case, but if you can find the one you are most similar to then you are already half-way to a better looking and more confident you!
Here is how to tell which body shape you are: The four most common shapes are Apple, Pear, Hourglass, and Rectangle. If you are an Apple shape, your upper body will be bigger than your lower so it is important to draw attention from your waist to your legs. Jeans are an excellent way to do this especially if they have back pockets to give your bottom a slight curve. Avoid tight/skinny jeans as they will make you look even bigger on top, avoid dark tops with lots of patterns, and wear A-line or short skirts 1-5inches above the knee. And wear the correct sized bra- four breasts is really unattractive!
For Pear shaped people (the most common) you usually have a smaller upper body than large so itâ??s important to find a balance between the two. Fitted tops in bright and light colours with different prints look fantastic and A-lined or flared skirts make your hips and legs look slimmer. With jeans and casual trousers, you should always stick to wide or straight legged types in darker colours. If you want to draw attention to your smaller top half and away from your hips, necklaces and earrings is a great way to do this.
If you are lucky enough to have an Hourglass figure, then you will have a perfect balance as your shoulders and curvy hips are equal in size. Do not be afraid of patterns- embrace them! They will completely accentuate your figure and make you look just wonderful! V-neck tops are probably the best look with some stretch denim jeans as they will accentuate your hips and narrow your waist even more than usual. For skirt lovers you should wear ¾ length or full length skirts, and the most important thing to remember is not to hide your fabulous figure with baggy clothes!
For Rectangle shaped ladies you will already know that you have a great pair of legs which you should proudly show off by wearing trousers or jeans with a low-rise, and back pockets to make your bottom look curvier. You can get away with wearing any type of skirt, pencil probably looking the most glamorous! Because your figure is straight up you should avoid wearing vertical patterns unless you want to look even thinner than you are (which isnâ??t always a good look) but go instead for scoop neck or v-neck tops to give you more of a curvy figure.
Hopefully this will give you an idea of what you are and what you should wear, so go and embrace it, have fun and look great!
White womens trousers are amongst the most versatile of summer clothes. They look fresh, bright, light weight and cool. They combine with so many colours and patterns for a fresh and summery looking outfit. They also look elegant and stunning with a suntan, they work well for both daytime and evening making the perfect piece of clothing to take on holiday.
As much as everyone loves a clean pair of white trousers, they can be a little tricky to wear. The first thing that you should check before buying or wearing a pair of white trousers is how see through they are. Try standing in different places and lights to make sure that they do not show your underwear. You should also always wear white or flesh coloured knickers when wearing white trousers as other colours may well be visible.
Another issue with white trousers is that they get dirty quite easily. In order to look good, white trousers must be perfectly clean and bright white. If yours do start to look a bit grey or off white, try bleaching them to make them pure white again.
Whilst white trousers go with a variety of different tops, picking the right shoes to go with them can be tricky. Avoid white shoes with white trousers at all costs as this looks too much. Instead consider sandals or heels in a tan leather or metallic colour. For the evening gold strappy sandals would look great.
Depending on your preference, you can choose from a variety of different trousers including smart linen trousers, more casual and comfy drawstring trousers or cropped trousers for the really hot weather.
Here are some of our favourite looks with white trousers for the summer:
Nautical
For a very stylish simple and classic look, just add a blue or navy and white striped t shirt. Add a few red accessories and navy pumps or tennis shoes to complete the look.Â
Monotone
Black and white is the most striking combination that you can wear. You can create a monotone outfit by adding a black top or black and white top to your white trousers.
Neutral layers
Layering different neutral shades is a really on trend look for this summer and also really cool with a laid back feel. Try adding a beige blouse or any other layers in cream, beige or peach and pinks. Look for tops with interesting texture or detail.
Summer prints
Any blouse or top that has a print with white in it will look amazing with a pair of white trousers. This look can work particularly well for parties if you wear frilly, halterneck or camisole tops.
All white
Wearing top to toe white is a look that won’t work for everyone but for those with darker hair and eye colours it can look really chic and eye catching. This ivory tailored jacket with navy contrast stitching is the perfect jacket to wear with smart white trousers.
Colour block
Any bright colour block top will look great with white trousers so pick your favourite coloured top, smart or casual.
Whilst many of us spend a huge amount of time, effort and sometimes money looking stylish for work or in the evening, many do not give the same level of attention to what they are wearing in their leisure time. If you look good, you will usually feel a lot better than if you haven’t made an effort. It is possible to look just as good in casual clothing as you do for work just a little more relaxed. Whether you are taking a walk in the country, watching the football with family on a Saturday afternoon or looking after children, there are plenty of clothes that strike just the right balance between chic and practical.
Many people spend a large proportion of their lives wearing casual clothes yet their wardrobe does not reflect this at all and they have very few stylish pieces of casual clothing. One of the problems with casual clothing is that it is often comfortable but shapeless and so is not flattering for anyone. When choosing casual clothes you should apply the same rules as you would for smart or evening wear in terms of finding clothes to suit your body shape. You should also pay attention to which colours you are wearing and whether they really suit you.
Here are our top 5 choices of stylish clothes for spring:
Casual trousers- a great pair of casual trousers is the basis of most casual outfits. Comfort is usually a key concern with casual trousers and an elasticated waist is the most comfortable option. Look for light weight fabrics and neutral colours for maximum versatility. You can work out which style of trousers suits you best and choose from cropped, boot cut or narrow cut. The fit of the trousers is also important, they should not be too loose or too tight. Denim trousers are particularly hard wearing and a very stylish but casual alternative to jeans.
Polo Shirt - wearing a t shirt with a collar is a great for a slightly smarter casual outfit. This Ivory red floral collar T shirt is a really original style and looks both sporty and feminine at the same time. You can turn the collar up for a flattering look that covers your neck and draws attention to your face. Â
Gillet -for those slightly cooler spring days, a gillet is a great way to add warmth without adding too much bulk. Try wearing a padded gillet with a contrasting coloured long sleeved top underneath. A reversible gillet that has 2 different colours is a really versatile option. Â
T shirt -the most comfortable and versatile casual tops to wear are undoubtedly t shirts. Look for t shirts with a bit of shape to them in slightly thicker fabrics with a little stretch. Patterned t shirts all look really stylish and striped t shirts are a big trend for this spring. If you want to make your t shirt the feature of your outfit, look for one with decorations like ruffles, flowers or pin tucks.
Fleece - on really cold days or evenings a fleece jacket is a great way to keep warm. They are available in choice of colours and styles and are very practical for most outdoor activities. A slightly fitted style of fleece is a flattering choice and different colours and textures can add interest to your outfit.
