I attach importance only to two types of jeans: to the fullest of all boyfriend jeans, and skinny jeans so narrow that it could be used to make a tourniquet. All other models are not suitable for my hourglass morphology, and I have worn the belt loops of many of my jeans trying to pull my pants over my hips all the time. Since university, I only swear by the Rag & Bone jeans: they compress my thighs, and highlight my buttocks. They do not move and are of a good length for my long legs.

I love jeans more than they love me. My problem ? I have a small torso and a fairly large crotch length. Fortunately, I still find marks that match me. AYR makes short models with subtle flared jeans, which are very soft and very elastic, and Topshop of the mom jeans with large inseams that particularly leak men. And because they are classic and their tigh gap is very well cut, I always choose the J.Brand. Always.

I love short-legged jeans (it's so Parisian) and this MOTHER brand jeans gives me the impression of being dressed without making any effort. The opening between the legs is big enough so that it does not touch my calves rather athletic, and the high waist coupled with the fairly flared posterior is very slimming. And most importantly: no need for touch-ups. If it is too long, remove the scissors. That's what I did with mine!

The first time I borrowed men's jeans from Levi's, I was 17 years old and it was my brother's 501 all washed out. I wore it all summer. Even today, a good pair of 501 reminds me of those evenings spent around a campfire. I prefer the material of men's jeans: they are thicker, last longer and are less restrictive than jeans intended for women. In addition, I like the contrast between the masculine side of the cut, and my ultra-feminine shapes. 10 years have passed, but I still buy men's jeans from Levi's. At the moment, I wear the slim 511 jeans in the "Bebop" shade. It falls very low on my hips, and combines perfectly with a body and pretty stilettos.

I've been living in Gap jeans since I was a teenager. For an unknown reason, their jeans designed for small people are the only ones that fit my morphology. Nevertheless, I recently discovered the brand The jeans agency, and they make the best black skinny jeans that any New Yorker would dream of. They are comfortable, and do not tarnish, no matter how many machines. The normal size is a bit too long, so I had to do it retouching, but it's a small change for skinny jeans also perfect. Special mention for high waist jeans, which is also very flattering.

The only jeans I tolerate are those offered by Anne Taylor Loft (yes, you have the right to judge me), especially their skinny mid-height. I am very big (I measure 1m80) so it is very difficult for me to find jeans that match me. But there is something in the jeans of Anne Taylor Lift that makes me feel smaller without shortening my legs. I do not know how they do it, but it's really magical. The jeans are very flattering at the buttocks, and comes just above the pelvis, and hides any small unsightly folds. In addition, they are still on sale. I do not really know why Anne Taylor does not put forward these, so, here, I do it in its place.

I love jeans. I love the Citizens of Humanity brand for everything - they master almost every style, are not too long (I measure 1m57), and are not "too" expensive. In addition, they put in value our buttocks. I'm also in love with the frayed jeans cut from Mother. They are perfectly washed out behind, suit all sizes (especially we small ones), and they earn an extra point to be part of the favorite jeans of the Hollywood industry at the moment. Finally, for buyers like me who hate to spend an astronomical sum in anything, I buy all the time Forever 21 jeans. I am currently under the spell of high black jeans, which cost barely $ 10 and 'adjust perfectly.

My favorite jeans comes from Urban Outfitters. This is the BDG jeans, a high slim slim. Everything in this jean is flattering. I like its high waist cut (which gives the impression that my legs are very long), and the denim fabric is fine so the size is not too heavy. It's as if he aspired to you, which, in my opinion, is the definition of good jeans. And above all, it gives me the impression of having a beautiful buttocks, which I do not have. "

When it comes to pants I have a problem: I find my thighs too wide. So I always find it hard to find one that matches me. Generally, I look for a pretty stretch jeans, in dark colors. When I moved to New York, I worked part time at Gap in parallel with my internship, and I fell in love with their jeans. The True Skinny is actually a legging jeans, but better, with a higher waist and a skinny cut. I have too much, most of them black.

I am a girl from the West Coast who remains a regular of the first hour of Abercrombie and Fitch with regard to my jeans. The more they look worn and loose, the more beautiful they are. My favorites are the faded boyfriend jeans from Citizens of Humanity. The pockets are lower than on most jeans, which I think is more flattering for most girls, whether they have buttocks or not. There's nothing I hate more than jeans with tiny pockets located far too high. I also like skinny jeans, although I find that there is nothing more cool and sexy than jeans in which we do not feel cramped.

For a large part of my life, I was that girl who never wore jeans. Then I came across a high-sized flared jeans valued at $ 10 at Urban OUtfitters on a carry in a store, and nothing else was the same. It fits me like a glove, and as soon as I put it on, I feel like I'm dealing with a new version of myself. So I went to several places to buy as many copies as possible. I think I have 5. Because of this model, I became addicted to the jeans of the 1970s. I started wearing this type of jeans in a period of life where I really started to assume my silhouette in an hourglass, which was not the case before. They defined my waist as well as my buttocks.

I currently have 4 pairs of straight jeans that come from Madewell, and two pairs of white skinny. When I like something, I buy it in several copies. I usually like slim jeans that arrive above the hips but measuring 1m77, many short cuts give the impression that they have shrunk in the wash. So I wear normal size jeans when I try to wear some short jeans. The Skinny Skinny has the perfect crotch size, which suits me perfectly, and also exists in "Tall" and "Taller", which I particularly appreciate when I look for a longer cut.
