Whether you’ve got an hourglass figure, or you consider yourself to be pear shaped, every woman’s fashion dream is a pair of well-fitting jeans, according to Mintel.
Mintel, a consumer research analyst company, conducted a survey and found that a female shopper’s nightmare is finding a comfortable pair of jeans that fit-well. Whether the jeans are high-waisted, flared, boot cut, skinny, or straight legged, the majority of women can’t find a pair that fit in the right places.
The survey showed that 66 per cent of women found jeans the most problematic part of women’s clothing.
Most women were happy to spend over £100 on a pair of jeans that fit correctly, but even with such a large budget they still found jean shopping a problem.
Mintel spokesperson, Tamara Sender, said that jeans are a basic item in most women’s wardrobes, so it is unsurprising that are willing to search high and low for a comfortable and well-fitting pair.

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!
