Plus Size Jeans: How To Find The Cut That's Right For You
Andrea Dilea
The market for plus size jeans is large, and in response to this, manufacturers have started to offer many different styles. There are also a variety of colors available. Sizing options are also increasing, with tall and petite options offered. Jeans are an important part of most wardrobes, and the plus size woman now has a wide array of options. This allows a plus size woman to find a pair that is flattering as well as comfortable.
It is important to accept the shape and size of your body, and get over the fact that you are not a size 6 or 8, before you go shopping for a pair of jeans. When you do not accept yourself, they are negative thoughts, and they will make you have a negative image about yourself. Focus on the fact that you are a healthy woman. This will make it easier to find a pair of jeans that is so you!
The plus size jean is usually found in sizes 14 to 28, although brands vary considerably. A good rule of thumb is that a plus size is similar to one size larger in the regular line-that is, a plus 14 is similar to a regular 16. Plus sizes can be found in both "misses" cuts, which are relaxed in the leg and hip, and high in the hip, and "junior" cuts, which are more fitted and sit lower.
The so-called "Junior" design is tighter, clings more closely to the legs, and lies below the waistline. It is also not as wide in the hip area. Full-bodied females really ought to put on the two different cuts to determine which fits properly, feels more comfortable, and looks more attractive. It is particularly important to check yourself carefully in a long mirror, preferably one with several views. You want to be certain these are really the most flattering jeans for you before you purchase them.
Boot cut jeans tend to be a favorite choice for full figured women who are pear shaped. A pear shaped body is one that is biggest in the middle section, which runs from the lower half of the stomach to the upper portion of the thighs. Boot cut jeans have a slight flare at the bottom and take emphasis away from the longer half of the body, which is what you want. Pair your boot cut jeans with platform shoes or shoes with a bit of a heel, as opposed to flat heeled shoes. Avoid tapered jeans if you are a plus size woman as these types will only emphasis the parts of your body you least like. Tapered jeans and pants are best left for extremely skinny gals.
