Jeans That Flatter Your Figure

Jeans That Flatter Your Figure

Jeans are a basic and essential part of the average man or woman's wardrobe. However, regardless of size, not every man or woman shares the same body type. With a wide range of styles and cuts available, often finding popular pants that are most flattering to your shape can be a daunting task. Not to mention that trying on literally dozens of pairs of jeans during a shopping outing can quickly frustrate and exhaust even the most enthusiastic shopper! So how do you narrow down your search before you head for the dressing room? Here are a few tips to consider:

1. Try a straight leg or boot-cut style first. As opposed to the tapered style which makes your hips and rear look wider, a straight or boot-cut leg is very slimming and gives the perception of added height. If you have generous hips, beware of the boot-cut that narrows too much at the knee. This style can exaggerate the width of your hips.

2. Look for styles that are medium to low rise. While the ultra-low waist jeans should be left to the teenagers, the average person isn't restricted to wearing those 'mummy' pants. Avoid waistlines that come all the way up to the naval as these can make your lower half look pear-shaped.

3. Bigger is better, at least when it comes to pockets. Small pockets make your backside look bigger! Also, darker washes are more slimming and figure-flattering. Plus, with the right accessories, a darker pair of pants can be dressy or casual.

4. A little stretch goes a long way. Denim with a bit of Lycra or spandex is not always a bad thing. The stretch fabric will hug your curves in the right places and be more comfortable too, since it moves with your body instead of being stiff and pulling tight.

With these tips in mind, you are ready to grab a handful of denim and head to the dressing room! Remember that you should always target the 'problem area' of your body first -- whether it's your hips, thighs, or tummy. Once you find the right fit there, finding the perfect pair of jeans should be a breeze!

Joy Bryant was cowgirl chic at an event hosted by Coach to benefit the Children's Defense Fund on April 20 in Santa Monica, California.

The 34-year-old donned a yellow prairie dress with a Levi's denim jacket. We love how she styled the frock with a brown leather belt and matching cowboy boots. Coach brown leather purse with gold hardware and door knocker earrings balanced out her boho look.

Bryant was in stylish company -- the model was joined by mommy-to-be Selma Blair, "Mad Men"'s Christina Hendricks -- who chose a sleek jumpsuit for the evening, and Scarlett Johansson who looked red hot in Roland Mouret.

Rachel Bilson looked very sweet in Chanel Haute Couture at the premiere of her original film series inspired by Magnum Ice Cream at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on April 21.

The brunette babe was joined by Karl Lagerfeld, who not only designed her dress, but also directed the films.

The pink silk embroidered strapless frock from the spring 2011 runway was paired with black Christian Louboutin pumps and a Chanel clutch in the shape of a seashell.
The 29-year-old actress' winged out liner was drawn on with lust-worthy precision and her ombre strands were pulled up into a sophisticated updo with face-framing strands.

Meanwhile, the highlights from the Tribeca Film Festival aren't just in the flicks, but the stylish appearances on the red carpet and around town.

Summer/Spring Hot Trend Of Bright Pink Lips

Bright lipstick is a must for the spring or the summer.My favourite bright pink lipstick is from Bourjois, Docteur Glamour Lipstick - 16 Lilas Ausculte. It is a really pretty color, and there is a little purple in it. I just love it.

I think this hot pink lipstick looks great on mostly everybody, so you should definitely get one. And it is a more cheerful pop of color on the lips than red.

Jennifer Hudson, Fergie, Emma Stone and Kelly Osbourne are also following this trend right now.As always, you should keep the rest of your makeup simple when you have such strong colors on your lips.

Lauren Hutton flashed that legendary gap-toothed grin at the Chanel artists dinner on April 25 in NYC.

The 67-year-old model was on hand for the Tribeca Film Festival event clad in an ultra stylish look: a red patterned blazer matched with a basic white t-shirt and navy pencil skirt. Black flats completed the casually classic ensemble.

Hutton -- who recently took a turn down Tom Ford's runway -- looked radiant with little makeup and tousled blonde waves.
The one-time "Project Runway" host walked the red carpet alongside other blonde leading ladies like Chloë Sevigny and Naomi Watts. She was also snapped while sharing a drink with Robert De Niro and Julian Schnabel during the evening.

Meanwhile, check out the over-60 and stunning star we spotted in an equally great ensemble.

It could be a handbag, a big one is perfect.
