There is a wealth of options when it comes to denim but the downside is that it can be taxing on anyone to go through all those brands and styles to find your perfect fit. But it’s out there! If you have to bring a friend or find a professional, a friend told me Nordstroms is a great place for denim fitting. This is definitely one place I recommend on splurging. The only time I don’t recommend splurging in this area is you are in between sizes, i.e. after baby number 2. Remember that a great pair of jeans can do more for your butt and legs than any contouring bodywear – and jeans are so supremely effortless, versatile and easy to style.
Who loves how much denim has evolved? I’d like to personally thank the person that decided denim should have a bit of a stretch built in. Two reasons why I love that denim now has a little stretch to them – 1. The stretch in the denim makes a more comfortable fit than the old fashion, super-thick denim. 2. The stretch in the denim is key for creating a nice line for your legs.

The challenge with the stretch is how to buy them correctly so you don’t buy them too loose, which will lead to washing them between every wear. This will lead to premature fading. If you are like me, I like to wear jeans for long periods of time between washes because I think it breaks them in a lot faster. The secret to trying them on: especially if they have 2 percent or more of a stretch (check the tag inside), they should be as tight as humanly possible because the fabric will ultimately “give” A LOT. As long as they look good and you can zip and button them – and breathe! They are not too tight.
Note about pocket placement:
Position and size of the back pockets can dramatically affect what your butt looks like in jeans – smaller pockets will it look bigger, ones that are too close together will make your butt look wider…NO THANKS! In general, choose pockets that are standard in size, which angle in slightly – they’re the most flattering.
My preferred style is the straight leg very dark or white. It’s the most flattering cut and they are great because they are clean and sophisticated.
