After swimsuits, is there anything more agonizing than finding a good pair of jeans? There are so many factors to consider: color/wash, length (long enough for heels, short enough for flats?), width (skinny, boyfriend, boot cut??), price, fit, and of course, the all-important ass factor. Good denim makes us feel confident, super sexy, and powerful. Weak denim makes us feel like a short grandma with a beer belly. Grandpa cardigans may be in, but grandma waistlines are not.
This month's issue of Shape Magazine has a great comprehensive guide for woman of various shapes and sizes. There are photos so you can determine which shape you are, key tips, and affordable shopping suggestions! Get to your local stores today to snap up this essential issue. Can't get to the store right away? Here are some quick tips for your shape:
- Athletic: go for longer lengths with a wider hem to minimize thighs and calves
- Curvy: dark washes slim and a higher rise offsets curvy hips
- Boy shape: avoid wide legs and go the opposite with skinnies. Small, high-placed pockets accentuate your bum
- Apple: jeggings!
- Tall: Higher rises accommodate longer torsos
- Petite: vertical fading creates the illusion of longer legs

Good guideline! Did you also read Brooke Burke's interview? She's incredibly confident and so sexy!
Good thing I have a big old jeggings collection now!
This is definitely a guideline to keep coming back to - such a good article!
And Brooke Burke is like twice my age in in ten times the shape that I'm in - I'm feeling way ashamed!
Great post, girl!

Wow, guys really have it made. We can wear almost anything and then most likely under-estimate the effort women put into pulling a look together. I won't be doing that! =)
Dark jeggings it is!
