Best places to buy jeans (on a budget!)

I have a few places I love to shop for jeans, not only because of the price, but because they always have CUTE styles! I can't guarantee that any of the jeans on my list will fit your body PERFECTLY (unfortunately as many professional stylists will tell you, that only comes with trying and trying on jeans. Don't give up hope in your search for jeans, and know you are not the only woman who has trouble finding a great fitting pair!


So first I will start by helping you identify YOUR body type, the help you to find a pair of jeans (at a great price) to flatter your body type. Are you ready?


1.

Body type A- You Have

-Small to medium frame
-Narrow or sloped shoulders
-Small to medium bust
-Slim torso and a narrow rib cage
-Small waist
-Full lower hips and bottom
-Full legs



2.


Body Type B- You Have

-Small to medium frame
-Average to full bust
-Small to average, defined waist
-Curvy hips
-Round, average to full bottom
-Shapely legs



3.

Body Type C- You have

-Average to broad shoulders (wider than your hips is broad)
-Medium to very full bust line
-Straight, short-to-average waist
-Narrow hips
-Often, a flat rather than rounded bottom
-Slim legs




4.(please forgive the HORRIBLE artistry I had to fix the last 3)

Body Type D- You Have

-Narrow or sloping shoulders
-Small to medium bust (proportionate to your shoulders)
-Full waist
-Wide hips
-Very full thighs and calves


5. (again the artistry SUCKS, sorry)

Body Type E- (This is MY body type if that gives you a frame of reference)You have

-Full, round neck
-Average to broad shoulders and a wide, often rounded, back
-Full, rounded bust
-Full, defined waist
-Hips in proportion with your shoulders
-Shapely legs

6.

Last but not least, Body Type F- You Have

-Full neck
-Broad shoulders
-Average to full bust
-Broad rib cage and full torso
-Undefined, full waist (often short)
-Flat bottom
-Slim legs




Now for the fun part!

Body Type A Jeans-

Straight leg, low waist, flat front with minimal details (pockets, pleats etc). Make sure they are not too snug in the leg which will accentuate the fullness of your lower body. Your waistband should hit your low waist to high hip to flatter the point where your upper and lower body meet.

Here a couple ideas:


You can pick up these adorable jeans at Wet Seal (or www.wetseal.com) for around $26.50 but they are ALWAYS having sales, so if that's a little steep for you, be patient and watch for a sale! They always have TONS of jeans, and some of them as low as $21.50! LOVE wet seal jeans!



Body Type B Jeans- Dark stretch denim and depending on how big your booty is, and how loooong your legs are you can try varying hem widths from boot cut to flares. The basic idea with this body type is you cant to accentuate the curve of your hips without exaggerating it.


Here is an example:




Again, I found these at Wet Seal (www.wetseal.com) and these totally cute jeans are on sale right now for $15.00!!! (normally, $24.50 that's almost $10 off!)




Body Type C Jeans-

This is the LUCKIEST body type, you can wear ANY and ALL jeans you deisre! Take your pick, from skinny to boot cut, dark to light the jean world is your oyster!

Here is an idea-




I love these stitched up flare jeans! Totally cute ($29.50 at Wet Seal)


Body Type D Jeans-

Look for a contoured waist (higher rise in the back than in the front) and go for dark blue or black stretch denim. Never wear a tight leg (no skinny jeans!) try for more of a full leg with a slight flare at the hem.


Here is an example (or 2)-





both of these jeans I found online at Forever21.com through their Faith 21 (extended sizes) line. Both pairs on $19.80 each.

Body Type E-

Now since this is my body type I could go on for days and days about where to find good fitting jeans, but I won't. If you have the same body type as me and would like more ideas of where to find jeans, leave me a comment, email me or find me on facebook!

Straight leg or a relaxed bootcut, slight width at the hem is good and helps make your lower body look longer. Choose dark stretch denims! This body type will look good in either pair of jean from Body Type D OR this pair below also! ( I actually own these jeans and LOOOVE them, get complimented on them quite often too)





Body Type F jeans:

Contoured waist line, boot cut dark denim jeans!

Check out any of D or E's jeans- they should work for you too!!



I hope this has been helpful to you, and given you the confidence to know you can go out into the world of a MILLION pairs of jeans armed with the knowledge that there is a pair that you will LOVE :) (AND you don't have to spend a lot on them)
