Whether you're trendy, sporty or classic, everyone needs jeans. Many designer jean companies sell many styles for all of these fashion personalities, so check them out. The most flattering shape to all women is a boot cut or flare jean. The fuller flare at the ankle balances out the hips. Skinny jeans are fun, but if you don't want to draw toosh attention, wear an interesting shoe. A platform will add some bulk and balance your body shape.

Step2: YOUR JEANS FIT.

How do you wear your jeans? Tight, too tight, comfy or baggy? Are you wearing your jeans at your waist and tucking in your tops? Well, wear the top outside the jeans and you'll feel less dated. If you're wearing them super low, you're dating yourself, too. Layer your tops over the waistband. You'll look more current. If you're body shape is big and beautiful, or you don't like a tight fit, be careful. It's better to wear jeans that hug your body, because denim is a heavy fabric, and will add bulk to your silhouette. Good fitting jeans are snug and better than Spanx, they hold everything in.

Step3: YOUR JEANS COLOR.

If your jeans fit well you can wear many shades of denim, from blacks to antique washes, from distressed to dark blue denim. Or try some color. If you do choose light colors be sure your top is even lighter to avoid looking too hippy. If you have wider shoulders than hips, and you're current in your look, choose the lighter colors to balance your figure. If you're over 35 a light blue jeans date will you, especially and they're baggy. Buy a new pair of jeans in a darker wash to be current.

Step4: YOUR JEANS BUDGET.

You might save money on cheap jeans, but be sure they fit like the designer jeans. If you pay less on so-so jeans, you're more likely to leave them in the closet. An unused garment doesn't save money. Determine how often you wear jeans and if it's many times a week, it's good to spend some cash on designer jeans. You'll get your money's worth by wearing those jeans often.
