The jean genie

June 6th, 2009

If you had three jean-genie wishes what would they be? Probably something like:

  1. I wish my legs looked slimmer/filled-out;
  2. I wish my bum looked buxom/smaller;
  3. I wish my jeans accentuated my curves

These are all really wishes for obtaining the right proportions, aesthetically speaking. Well, Jean Genie says the magic is all in the cut and colour of your jeans.

First tip: Control the appearance of your thighs by choosing either a flat colour (for enlarging spindly legs) or a two toned wash (for slimming). Look at my diagram. Both rectangles are the same dimensions. But the two tone looks slimmer even with the lighter colour.

Second tip: Make your butt look bigger with small pockets, and smaller with big pockets. easy.

Third tip: They’re not always in fashion, but get bootcuts or flares to balance and accentuate curves. Straight cut and skinny jeans will widen the look of hips, because in comparison the legs look way slim. That’s why boots look so good with skinny jeans because it provides the balance toyour figure that bootcuts and flares give.

Those are my tips. Gleaned from years of jean shopping. My fave place to buy jeans in Welly is Hurrican Jeans. There staff are helpful as and knowledgeable and they give student discounts.
