If you’d like to wear a pair of cropped jeans (or pants) but are concerned they will make your legs appear shorter, look for styles that have a higher rise…and if possible, wear a heel (even if it’s just a small wedge or kitten heel)  *You don’t need to wear a heel, but you should be careful what shoes you do wear. Some styles can elongate the leg and others can make your legs appear shorter than they are. 

Don’t be put off by the idea of a high-rise style. They sit differently on everyone – depending on the length of the torso.

Like all styles, they might work, they might not.

Remember shopping is about trying on and sampling.

*And while this picture above is of a young, tall, slim model – this applies to all of us at any age, height or size.

**And when I say cropped, I do not mean three quarter length. Like so!

***This also applies for cuffing/rolling your jeans and cutting your jeans.

Even the most simple combination of  jeans and t-shirt can become a chic outfit by adding a smart jacket, a beautiful bag, a great shoe, an interesting belt or a piece of statement jewellery.

The key is to make sure that tee and those jeans fit and flatter.

Make your essential wardrobe basics look interesting – by not forgetting the decoration.

Recently I showed you a before and after picture of how tucking something in can dramatically change a look, now I’m demonstrating what a difference a flattering pair of jeans can make.

If it’s been a while since you updated your denim there’s a chance you might be wearing a pair that have stretched, lost their shape, become too small or too big, faded, or are a bit out-dated.

Whether you’re 16 or 60 you deserve to be wearing a great pair of jeans – not just a that’ll have to do pair.  A pair you wear because you can’t find anything better.  A pair you wear because you hate shopping.  A pair you wear because you think it’s impossible to find something that will look any good on you.

Whether you buy your jeans from Target or Net-a-porter learn what to look for when shopping for a pair of jeans.

Use this picture above as inspiration. When you next put your old jeans on, think about whether they look similar to those on the left or the one’s on the right.  Decide which pair you want to be wearing, then challenge yourself to find them.

Are you settling for near enough?  In 2017 make it a goal to find a great pair of jeans.

If you’re thinking about investing in a pair of white jeans keep in mind that white should not be worn skin tight – they should just skim the hips and thighs (as above) – not strangle.  Despite your size.

There is a white jean for everyone and every body shape it really is a matter of trying lots of different styles (and there are many) to get the pair that works best for you.

Apart from the size and shape, pay lots of attention to the fabric. Too sheer will not be flattering on anyone.

And then once you’ve found a pair you love, you need to think about what you wear underneath.   Whatever style of underwear you wear it must be nude. (ie. not white…& not too tight)
