I’ll be honest I’m not a believer that only certain body types can wear certain types of jeans that just feels so 20037 magazine but what I am a believer in is that certain elements of your jeans make it easier or harder to style based off of your own body construction so here are some things that you may or may not know when it comes to finding the best genes for your body type because I think that you can wear any jeans you want as long as you have some of these tricks in your back pocket let’s start off with what I think is the most challenging part of jeans which is this part this where it hits your body how far up it comes does it squish what are the pockets like all of that because let’s be honest if it doesn’t fit right here you’re not going to like to wear those jeans and one of the many reasons this area is so challenging is because it creates a horizontal line across your midsection which makes may or may not be welcomed at that particular Moment In Time horizontal lines are the darnest lines sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t if it’s working for you love it that’s great we don’t need to worry about it right now but if you feel like that horizontal line is not doing what you want it to do here’s something you can do instead pair the wash of your jeans or the color of your jeans with the same color family that you’re wearing on top so if you’re wearing dark jeans going with a darker top or if you’re wearing light jeans going with a lighter top they don’t need to match exactly the idea is that you’re lessening the contrast between your jeans and your top and then that line becomes a little bit softer it’s a little bit more forgiving when it’s softer if you like where the line is then you can choose to either match the tones or go high contrast if you want to wear light jeans in a black top or dark jeans in a light top and you like where that line is you’re going to see that line so as long as you’re happy with it then it’s all good but if you need forgiveness then match accordingly now this may or may not be news to you but fashion brands are lying to you if you are looking at the words of what a rise is on a website or on a tag ignore it nobody cares about the words actually everyone cares about the words but they’re wrong now if you’ve been around my channel for a while I have talked about this ad nauseum has it changed the fashion industry absolutely not but we will continue to talk about it but I’m also going to ask you to not just measure your front rise but to also measure your back rise low rise jeans would be a lot more popular if they had better back Rises so that they didn’t fall down every time you bend over in them because yes yolks matter in creating a nice Construction in your back end Pockets matter and creating a nice proportional do you want smaller Pockets the balanced size pockets for your booty that’s what everyone wants but I would gladly trade any of those to have the perfect back rise I think most of us just enjoy feeling comfortable and supported in our jeans and a lot of times highrise checks that box but also for some of us with short torso long legs then high-rise is kind of challenging so pay attention to the back rise because then you might be able to go to a lower midrise if that is more proportional for you more comfortable works with your outfit with whatever you’re wearing we’re going to go through all those other details here in a second but if you’re one of the horizontal body types like hair shapes that have wider hips you like to have that support down there too so it’s important to know your front rise and your back rise and if you want some extra support you want to make sure that construction is pretty solid but to be honest the same goes for any rise you want to feel like you’re supported in the front and you want to feel like you’re covered in the back the only way to know if this will be possible is to know your measurements and what you are looking for in your favorite most fantastic pair of jeans will you always get this lucky no will you have to try on Lots and lots and lots of different genes to finally get there yes because a mid-rise on you might be a highrise on me just because of the way my body types constructed genes really emphasize our vertical lines it makes sense jeans go up and down your legs your legs are vertical therefore vertical lines so if you are not paying attention to your vertical body type it is time to start paying attention to your vertical body type so what is your vertical body type I am 100% biased on this but I honestly think your vertical body shape is so much more important than any other body shape because it’s all about gaining proportions and balance your shoulders waist to hips ratio it’s all about recognizing are your legs longer for your body type or are they shorter is your torso longer or is it shorter with the end goal being that when you’re standing upright and Tall that your body just feels really balanced and when you feel balanced you feel more comfortable and confident and all the great things that make great style and I’ve gone into way more detail on how to find your vertical body shape in a video I will link at the end so hold on tight to that cuz we’re also going to talk about how long you want your legs to look here in a quick [Music] second okay now that we’ve talked about this part of your pants we’re going to talk about the second part of your pants which are the legs all the way down the whole thing again this really ties into your vertical body shape because it’s literally a vertical line your legs are vertical and they are very Lin like so if you want that line to look bold and crisp and clean then you’re going to want to look for a wash that’s bold and crisp and clean so many jeans so so many jeans have little Fades fake Fades distressing fake distressing it is very hard to find just a flat wash there’s always a little bit of something somewhere even these jeans have just a little bit of striation on them we don’t always love that because that creates horizontal lines on your vertical lines if you want to look more vertical you don’t want those extra horizontal lines and those lines tend to happen more with lighter or medium wash [Music] jeans here’s the thing in all of this when determining if you want to wear flared or boot cut or wide leg or straight leg or skinny it all comes down to balance you want to find the balance between the style and your body type and also your personal style but we’ll get to that section here in a minute so let’s talk about a couple ways that you can create balance if you have a curvy lower half or you feel like your hips have more emphasis in your entire body proportions then you’re going to want to go a little bit simpler since there’s more emphasis down south you want to have a little bit less emphasis from the Jean this can be done through simple washes little to no distressing or any of those horizontal lines but when you do that you can kind of pick whatever cut or style of jeans that you want flare boot cut Etc you have more options when it comes to the style but maybe fewer options when it comes to the colors and details but let’s say you want to go the more distressed route and you’re still curvier on the bottom and you want more distressing you want more fun maybe you want patches then I would choose a simpler style or cut usually this comes in the form of a straight leg but the idea is that your entire outfit is going to balance out some of that busyness with the simpler things so you might also wear a simple top with that too again we will get to the rest of your styling here in a second now let’s go to the opposite end of the spectrum let’s say you are more straight up and down on the bottom and more of your emphasis is up top maybe you have an inverted triangle body type you’re going to want to create some Curves in and add some emphasis to your lower half so flares and boot cuts and wide legs that’s going to create extra emphasis on the bottom to help balance you out the rest of your vertical or maybe you want to play around with the distressing and color find other ways to achieve some balance but if you feel like your jeans aren’t achieving that balance then it’s up to the rest of your outfit to create that balance too okay one last thing before we move on to styling the length of your jeans is all part of this too the color the cut and the length my personal preference to help achieve balance is to match my inseam with my rise so if I have a high-rise Jean I like that to be a little bit more cropped and ankle length versus if I’m wearing a lower rise Jean then I like to bring that in seam down so that it’s hitting closer to the floor for me this avoids having highrise really long jeans now if you’re someone with short legs this can probably work for you and you are probably the exception to this rule but on me that makes my legs look so long that I can’t make up those proportions anywhere else on my body unless I wear a dark top with it circling back all the way to our first tip of matching those colors if it’s a trickier one it doesn’t mean I can’t wear it it just means that I’m going to choose a dark top with a dark Jean that is highrise and really long versus the other end of that example is a lowrise jean that is cropped and that can make it look like your jeans are too small or that you’re wearing a child size which again not ideal really for any body type however I would also describe that as a challenging rise and so I would match the color of my shirt to the rise of my pants so that if I’m wearing dark wash lowrise cropped jeans I would wear a dark top with it to kind of minimize a little bit of that look but again something that is low rise might not look lowrise on you so again this is all subjective and based off of measurements and how it’s looking on your body so let’s talk about some ways that we style jeans that make it easier to pull off certain Styles than [Music] others so one trick I like to use is I like to match the rise of my pant with my neckline if I’m wearing something higher rise then I like to wear a higher neckline if I’m wearing something lower rise then I like to wear a lower neckline if you can see the rise calling back to that very first tip did you watch that very first tip this is like a little mini quiz if I can see where the rise of my pants are then I match it to or I match my top neckline to that if you can’t tell as much then it doesn’t matter as much it’s not having as big of a visual impact but just like how your rise and your inseam can make a difference and how it moves up and down your body so can your rise and your neckline and how that moves up and down your body everything is just moving with each other and when you move one or change another then you have to decide how obvious you want that change to [Music] be okay so we’ve talked about styling your jeans and styling your top with your jeans now let’s talk about how to style your shoes with your jeans now I could definitely make a much more in-depth video on this in fact my next video is going to be about choosing the right boots for your body shape and pairing it with jeans is going to be part of that but there’s so many other shoes than boots so just let me know if you want that for the future but essentially you want to be choosing your Footwear style and colors kind of in the same way that we’ve talked about tops if you match the color of your shoes to your jeans that is going to make your legs look longer if that is your goal that is how you achieve that if you are making the the rest of your body long or you don’t want your legs to look as long cuz you feel like they’re looking too long then you may want to do a pop of color on the shoe white shoes are really great for this red shoes can do that as well just something that’s a different color now what you want to be careful of is if you’re doing a different color shoe a different color pant and then you have a long coat regardless of whether or not you have a shirt that’s the same color as your pants or not all of those are playing a role if you have a longer coat that is cutting you off at the knees and then if your shoes cut you off at the ankles it could make your legs look shorter even if you’re tall even if you feel like your legs are long for your body and you might blame your jeans for that when actually in that scenario it could be your jacket or it could be your shoes but going back to that example where your coat is cutting off your legs and you’re wearing a different color shoe you can either change the color of your shoe to match your jeans so that it kind of just keeps going all the way down or you could change the color of your coat that way your coat is blending into your vertical line going all the way up there’s a lot of options in making all these different outfits work you just have to figure out which is best for you in that particular outfit for that particular day there are so many elements that come into creating an outfit that you feel good in your body in that you feel like fits your style but a lot of the tips I cover today help me in some of the basic day-to-day outfit decision making or trying on jeans and figuring out which ones feel the best for me and knowing all about my body type is a huge factor in that so make sure to watch this video next and I will see you [Music] there
