Jeans guide: how to find the right model

Denim trousers have become an integral part of our wardrobe and yet they are a science in themselves. I'll tell you how to find the perfect pair of jeans.

If there's one thing I can't imagine my wardrobe without, it's definitely my jeans collection. Denim trousers are not only versatile and can now be worn to almost any event, but I also feel extremely comfortable in them. Despite their popularity, there are a few pitfalls when it comes to the fit. That's why, once I've found a figure-flattering model after a long search, I buy two pairs at once. I'll tell you what to look out for with your body type
.

Cuts for you

Five-pocket jeans:

The classic par excellence has a sporty cut and is a real figure flatterer for all types. In addition to the four regular trouser pockets, it also has a small money pocket at the front. [[productlist:9425501]]

Straight-leg:

This straight-leg style is a true all-rounder: its cut simply suits every figure. [[productlist:6186330]]
Slim fit:

The predecessor to skinny jeans is not quite as tight-fitting as the skinny model and looks particularly good on women with slim legs. [[productlist:6607730]]
Boot cut:

These trousers have a slim fit at the thigh and are flared towards the hem. The leg is visually elongated. Combined with high heels, this style suits almost every body type. Caution: Those with wide hips should steer clear of these. [[productlist:5992226]]
Skinny jeans:

These very form-fitting skinny trousers (similar in cut to leggings) make slim women look even slimmer. Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work for curvy women. Nevertheless, this model is extremely popular. [[productlist:6977195]]
Mom jeans:

A trend that makes men shake their heads. Women, on the other hand, are on fire. Why? Because the wide fit makes the trousers particularly comfortable, adds variety to our wardrobe and looks particularly cool. [[productlist:8013655]]

I provide you with the answers to 4 frequently asked jeans questions

How to look slimmer in jeans Go for a model with a dark wash. And pay attention to the back pockets: The closer together they are, the smaller your bum will look.

How do I visually add a few curves? Grab a pair of trousers with a light wash or a pair of high-waisted mom jeans that emphasise your narrow midriff and make your thighs look wider. As a general rule: if your denim is too tight, it will make your bum look flatter.

How to make me look taller High-waisted jeans make you look taller. Combined with nude-coloured pointy-toed shoes and a denim shirt in the same shade, they are incredibly elongating.

How do I care for my jeans? Always wash them upside down (at a maximum of 40 degrees) and don't use fabric softener. This will destroy the stretch in your trousers and cause them to wear out. You should also not tumble dry them, but leave them to air dry. [[productlist:8175590]]
