What you need to know to choose the perfect jeans
The best colors for jeans
You can find a multitude of colors and washes, the trends may change, but the solid colors are always the same.
If you want something that will last a long time, go for solid colors, light or dark, it doesn't matter the less you wash it, the more timeless it will be
Washes change according to the trends of each year, so if you're buying, remember that you may have to get rid of them next season.
Wear also influences the color by adding detail.
Jeans models
Some models have been repeated over the decades, such as Bootcut and straight, for example. The waistline comes and goes, some years lower, others higher.
If you want something that lasts longer, opt for the mid-rise, which fits all shapes.
Another factor that influences the choice of models is your body shape. Some models can make you look shorter, more paunchy and so on, while the right cut will give you the perfect balance,

APPLE-TYPE BODY
As with pants, the idea when choosing a jean for the apple body is not to add extra weight to the waist, but to gently camouflage it.
Prefer simple styles with clean lines and no details.
Another strategy is to choose darker washes, as they work better for a more harmonious look.
Bootcut, wide leg or flare styles are the best choices. These cuts will balance out slimmer legs and a wider abdomen.
A straight front with a low or mid-rise waist, a wide waistband that sits straight on the stomach, will keep the stomach in place and avoid adding more volume.
Jeans that are too tight are not ideal, as they accentuate your thin legs and make your upper body look bigger.
Another model you should avoid is high-waisted jeans, which emphasize a larger belly.
PEAR-SHAPED BODY (TRIANGLE)
Medium to high-waisted, straight, bootcut, bell or flare jeans are the best choices. As well as relaxed fits, as they give more balance to your shape.
Dark jeans are best for harmonizing your shape, drawing attention away from your lower body.
Skinny jeans, which cling to the hips and thighs, draw attention to this area, so avoid them if you want balance.
Likewise, avoid small side and back pockets
Frayed jeans, folds and other embellishments on jeans draw attention to the lower body and make the upper body look even smaller.
HOURGLASS BODY
The aim when choosing jeans for this shape is to be balanced with the upper part of the garment.
Classic bootcut or straight leg, simple and clean styles, are best for the body.
Other options that also work well are wide-legged, baggy and slightly tapered jeans styles.
Medium or high waist to elongate the legs. Wide bands to accentuate the waist are a good idea
Low-waisted jeans should be avoided if you are short, as they tend to make your hips look bigger and your legs look shorter.
RECTANGLE BODY
The idea for this shape is to add volume to the hips.
Details or embellishments around the hips and bottom area are great for adding curves to the silhouette.
Pockets and pleats to give more volume to your butt and hips.
Cut-outs on the hips add the illusion of curvier hips.
The ideal shape is the bootcut, as it widens slightly at the bottom, adding a certain amount of volume and curve, while at the same time softening the square structure of the body.
If they are tight jeans to accentuate your slender legs, they should be tight around your hips to create curves.
The ideal is a low to medium waist. High-waisted jeans will emphasize your lack of waistline
Use caution with jeans that flare out too much, as they can unbalance your rectangle body.
INVERTED TRIANGLE BODY
The proposal for balance is to add dimension to the bottom and hips to make the shoulders appear narrower.
Always choose a wide style, as it adds volume to the bottom.
Examples include Bootcut, Gargo, boyfriend and wide jeans to give the illusion of more volume.
On the other hand, slim-fit and straight styles also look good as long as they have some kind of detail.
Use and abuse details around the hips, bottom and thighs, such as back pockets, front pockets, different washes, rips, frays and embellishments, volumes, ruffles and pleats are excellent for drawing attention downwards.
Another strategy is to choose jeans in lighter colors than your tops to draw even more attention away from your shoulders.
Skinny jeans, simple styles and darker colors can accentuate your thin hips and broad shoulders.
