How to Choose Plus Size Jeans That Are Right For You
It wasn't much more than a century ago that Levi Strauss started a little business supplying blue jeans to gold miner at wholesale prices. Those gold miners needed clothes that would endure rugged terrain and rough treatment. Today, blue jeans have earned their place as the most popular and versatile garment, maintaining that same strength yet winning the gold in comfort and appeal.
Plus-sized people agree that shopping can be extremely difficult. Finding a stylish yet comfortable pair of jeans is a rarity. The majority of jeans either hug your legs too tightly or cut into the waist or stomach. Locating the right pair of jeans for your body type can add the illusion of longer legs and smaller hips.
Plus size jeans are increasingly being made with a stretch material that allows the jean fabric to give slightly. Be on the lookout for the word "stretch" when perusing plus size jean labels. Stretch fabric is made of a cotton/poly/spandex blend. As such, it virtually glides on the body and stretches only when and where needed. Stretch fabric jeans provide maximum comfort and enhance your shape. Stretch jeans will continue to stretch out with wear, helping to keep you feeling comfortable throughout your day.
You need to also look for "mid-rise" qualities in plus size jeans. Most jeans sold today are "low-rise" jeans, which are fine if you have no curves; however, if you do have them, low-rise jeans don't compensate for larger waists or hips and thus can look very bad. They emphasize the midriff, pushing excess fat over the waist band, and are also very painful to wear for long periods of time.
Classic cut jeans (called mid-rise cut jeans) are much more appealing and attractive and will help you stay stylish while allowing you to stay covered and comfortable. Classic cut jeans sit just below the waist and have a straight leg from the hip all the way down to the floor. This will give a plus size woman's body a long, lean look.
Avoid plus size jeans that are over-styled and include embroidery, extra pockets, extreme fading and fancy stitching. Instead, choose solid, dark wash jeans that are perfect with tee shirts, dress shirts and sweaters.
People who are larger than average need wider pant legs, and should select a dark-colored pair of jeans with five pockets.
Jeans can be worn for everyday, or for a night on the town. They go with a variety of shoe-types. They come in a plethora of colors and fabrics. Plus sized people have so many varieties to choose from.
Look for the stretch fabric and rise quality when you are shopping for plus size clothing and jeans. When you do find the perfect pair of plus size jeans, it's always worth it to invest in a second pair. The perfect pair of plus size jeans can help you look and feel great!
