The only thing worse than buying a bathing suit is buying jeans.  I’m dreading the dressing room: I enter with a huge pile, excited to try them on, only to be disappointed when they’re either too baggy, too tight, too low, or just plain wrong. If it’s this hard for us ordinary folk, how is it that celebs always seem to have the perfect, flattering pair?
The secret is to find the right jeans for your body type, regardless of what’s trendy. I found success recently with a pair of Fidelity Denim dark-'rinse jeans that make my legs look longer and my butt look higher — no sausage effect whatsoever! Fidelity jeans are worn by such lovely ladies as Rihanna, Demi Moore, Ashley Greene, and the Kardashians— who represent a diversity of body shapes. Here’s how to choose the right jeans foryour body:
  • If you’re curvy, look for a mid-rise boot-cut jean with some stretch in a dark rinse, like Fidelity's Belladonna in Viper Rinse. They’ll hug your waist, balance out your curves, and accentuate your feminine figure in all the right places.
  • For a longer, leggy look, try a polished, low-rise pair, like Fidelity's straight-leg Houston style. Wear them long, and pair them with high-heeled peep-toe ankle boots for day, and stilettos for night.
  • If you have a petite frame, try a skinny jean, like Fidelity's new Ace ultra-slim style — it's fitted through the thigh and knee and has tasteful stitching on the pockets. Avoid loud stitching and flaps on the pockets, which can overwhelm your figure.
  • Finally, don’t be afraid to try fits that are out of your comfort zone, such as a wide-leg style or a tapered skinny — you just might be surprised at how great you look!
