For MM with larger hips:
If you don't want your hips to look too full:
- Vertically cut jeans on the hips can draw attention down the legs.
- Dark colors have a slimming visual effect.
- A wide waistband design can reduce the appearance of fullness in the hips.
Measuring Jeans Cleverly
No time to wait in line outside the fitting room? We've learned a little trick that allows you to instantly know if a pair of jeans fits you without trying them on. Denim designer Alvin Valley learned a small secret from a European tailor, which is to pinch the ends of the waistband of the jeans and wrap them around your neck. He said, "If the ends of the waistband meet exactly at the back of your neck, then this pair of jeans suits you." We were a bit skeptical, but after trying it out, we found that it really works.
