Waistband

With such a vast variety of waistlines to choose from, it’s important to find the right style for you. Casual and comfy low-waistline jeans make for an everyday, easy to wear pair of trousers, whereas a high-waisted pair will elongate your luscious legs and hide any of those irritating lumps and bumps, when you’re aiming for that extra bit of glamour!

Fit

Whether you prefer loose and slouchy, or slim and fitted, make sure you pick the right size jeans! Squeezing yourself into a smaller size may seem like a good way to appear slimmer, but (from experience!) the correct size will leave you feeling much more comfortable and flatter your figure perfectly! The range of women’s jeans on Zalando , come in a great variety of suitable styles including on-trend boot-cut, straight leg or skinny jeans!

Embellishment

When looking for something a little more special than your basic pair of denim jeans, bring to mind the following tips to make sure you pick embellishments which will give you an altogether more flattering pair of jeans.

If you’re a juicy pear shape, choose dark coloured jeans and a brighter top give off the illusion of slimmer pins!

Apple shapes should choose rear pockets closer to the seams to show off a perfectly pert bum.

Skinny jeans with an oversized top will emphasize your slim legs.

Appearance

Now you know what you’re looking for -try not to get too caught up in the excitement of having seen a pair of jeans you think you love. The best advice I can give is – always try before you buy! There’s nothing worse than getting home and realizing the waist is too tight, the legs are too long and the zipper is broken! Avoid any annoying mistakes and try the jeans that catch your eye on in a few different sizes, don’t be embarrassed to take a few pictures either, to find the best possible pair for you! Remember that sizes may differ in other shops or from other brands.

Where to wear

Jeans are something no woman can live without! Always on trend, you can create both casual and formal outfits with this tip top fashion staple! For a special occasion, I like to match my jeans with a pair of statement Jeffrey Campbell heels for a glam yet understated look!
