Finding the Perfect Fit in Denim
We’ve all read about picking the right denim style based on your body type, but it turns out that’s not all you can do to ensure your next pair of jeans will have the perfect fit.
Denim Therapy recently wrote that the ideal rise on a pair of jeans (length from crotch to waist) should be about 8 inches. Any higher, and the jeans will be too high-waisted to be flattering; any lower, and you won’t have enough coverage and risk showing the dreaded muffin-top.
Given that women care more about fit (99%) than price (93%), according to the Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor™ Survey, finding a pair of good-fitting denim jeans can be a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack.
One company thinks it has revolutionized the fit process, describing it as “about shape, not size.” Levi’s® new CURVE ID asks users a series of simple questions to identify which of their four customized fits will work best. And they all come in a variety of silhouettes – from ankle to flare – so you’re sure to find the perfect fit. When you do, buy two: one to wear with flats, and one to wear with heels.
