what brand and cut of jeans would look good on me?

Question

I am short, barely five feet and my hips are the biggest part of me

Answer 1

Never never NEVER wear tapered or "skinny" style jeans. They make you look like a peg leg, and your butt and hips look ENORMOUS!

ALWAYS wear straight leg jeans, possibly even wide leg trouser style jeans. Check out www.victoriassecret.com and look at the "easy" jean. Stick with DARK colored denim.

Answer 2

1. Stay away from low rise jeans - they sit right at your hips which draws attention to them (makes them look even BIGGER).
2. I'd get some at-waist boot cut jeans in a dark wash. The boot cut is said to equalize your figure and dark makes everyone appear slimmer. The higher rise makes your legs appear longer.
3. Pair with a long tunic/empire waist top that is not tucked in. This will elongate your shape and hide your problem area (big hips).
As far as brand there are a lot of good ones out there. I think the bigger concerns are price and looking for a cut that flatters your figure.

Answer 3

Im 5'1 too. Wear low cut flared jeans. The darker the better because they take emphasis away from any problem areas. I would try JLO jeans, I have hips a butt and short legs and her jeans work best on me.

Good luck, and good question!

Answer 4

I have hips too and I find that SoHo jeans from Kohls fit my figure best. Another brand that you could find at Kohls is GLO. If the jeans are too long, you can always take them to a tailor. But remember to leave on an extra inch or two. It's better to take off too little than too much, trust me.

Answer 5

the ones that look good when you try on in the fitting room. Take someone with you when you go shopping, someone who has a good taste for clothes can tell you what look best on you. it's hard to say without a look. Any brand is good for someone and doesn't fit right for another, even the most expensive and popular brand. Better not go by the price and brand but the cut. When I shop i take my daughter with me and I got lot of compliments wearing the clothes she picked for me. clothes can make you look younger or older, prettier or uglier. Good luck

Answer 6

Express. They have jeans cut specifically for girls with curves. Like you can get a size 8 in curvy or skinny. Go for a low rise waist and a boot cut leg. Too much flair would look so 1960's and a straight leg will accentuate your hips.

Answer 7

I had the same problem! I always used to be a little cheap when it came to buying jeans but I went to A&Fitch and got the best jeans I have ever had on my body! The staff was so great! Hope this heklps1

Answer 8

DO NOT WEAR SKINNY JEANS!! they just make ur leggs look thinner and ur hips loook wider on ur body type. WEar a solid dark wash with wide legs or flare legs. Unless ur hips arent wide and they just happen to be the biggest part of u, then u might be able to wear skinny jeans MAYBE

Answer 9

Look for bootcut, wide-legged or straight leg jeans. Dark wash. You want to minimize your hips so DO NOT buy jeans with whiskering or embellishment around the hip area. Don't wear flared jeans because they will make your knees look small and your thighs look larger. Remember, find pants that fit the widest part of you then continue down with the same width.

Answer 10

Straight leg jeans. Not skinny, just straight through the leg, making it look longer. You don't want anything that's sinched in at the knee, like a bootcut jean, because that will accentuate your hips.
