]]> 90450 1 26 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218401/26.jpg Define your body type Define your body type. Knowing this will help you disguise your figure flaws. Some examples are pear-shaped, rectangle, and hourglass.

]]> 90451 2 36 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218401/36.jpg Go shopping Try on many pairs of jeans from several designers with different styles and cuts.

]]> 90452 3 40 Tip Do not trust the size on the tag. One size will vary tremendously from one designer to another.

]]> 90453 4 47 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218401/47.jpg Find the right cut Find the cut that best accentuates your positive features and disguises your flaws. For example, if you have a curvy figure, skinny jeans are probably not for you.

]]> 90454 5 57 Tip The cut of jean is not the same as the style. Cut refers to the shape of the pants and the waist position, back yolk design, pocket type, and leg type.

]]> 90455 6 66 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218401/66.jpg Test the fit Pull the waist of the jeans up and bend down, then stand back up and walk around. Make sure the pockets lie flat, the top button or snap fastens easily, they do not wrinkle or fold, and your butt is not exposed when you sit or bend over.

]]> 90456 7 80 Tip If the jeans feel a little tight but are still comfortable, you have found the right pair.

]]> 90457 8 85 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218401/85.jpg Alter the length Alter the length of the jeans to wear with your favorite shoes and you are ready for a night on the town.
