    If you want your jeans to appear relaxed and easygoing, look for a pair that has an aged, soft cotton feel. If they have a comfortable feeling when you put them on, you'll give off a casual vibe whether you're wearing skinny-leg, flare, or any other style of jeans.
  • Question
    Can I wear jeans to a night club?
    Community Answer
    Dark skinny jeans can be a very flattering club look. You can dress them up with heels, jewelry, and a nice top. I wouldn't wear anything that's baggy, distressed, or too light though as it looks too casual. Whenever you're clubbing, it's important that you feel sexy and comfortable so you can have a good time.
  • Question
    My legs are fat, what are the best jeans for this problem?
    Community Answer
    Boyfriend or mom jeans can give the illusion of thin thighs. Both boyfriend and mom jeans are baggy.
  • Question
    Which type of tops to choose to look smart with jeans?
    Community Answer
    A good top to look smart would be simple or personal. Something that is simple enough to let you shine first rather than stealing the show. It could also be personal and meaningful to you. For example, a blouse with a print or a color that makes you smile, or a t-shirt of your favorite band. Avoid obvious branding: it shows a need to fit in and a lack of self-confidence. Confidence is key to looking smart. Feeling great about yourself will make you look smart.
  • Question
    Why low rise type suits for girls?
    Community Answer
    Low rise does not fit all girls. Low rise is a statement in itself and can be worn as a trend or to emphasize a figure. For example, if you have a shorter torso, low rise jeans will create the illusion of a longer torso. A great low-rise pair of jeans should have some ease at the waistband, so that it does not create bulges. You should feel comfortable and it should not show your underwear. Make sure to choose jeans that are not too tight even if they stretch. If putting the jeans on is difficult, the jeans are too tight. If it leaves you red marks: it's too tight.

    Try on jeans in a variety of sizes. Your size will vary from store to store, so go by fit and feel rather than by your prescribed measurement.

    Try high rise skinnies in a lighter wash denim. These will help to emphasize your legs as a feature and should be comfortable too.
