I am at the Watford Shopping Centre styling for the JEAN GENIE EVENT, where myself and fellow stylist Rachel Staveley are giving free style appointments to shoppers to help them find their perfect jeans..
This weekend I helped a granny, mother and daughter into jeans and got 2 yummy boxes of Thornton's chocolates... so despite blue denim stained hands, sore feet, and dreams of denim there are perks to the JOB!
High street Jeans that I think work for most shapes!
To hide a tummy but keep it classic opt for the OASIS - SCARLET Jean £45
The Oasis - Poppy jean £50 is a great summer option which looks fab with a denim on denim look. On a curvier thigh it appears more kick flare but on a slim leg has a real 70's look! Another bonus to these is the high waist is great to hide a tummy but also works well on a pare shape as it curves in over the bottom.
The Dorothy Perkins - Straight Cut £20 is my top buy of the week. I would opt for the Mid blue as it is more summery but the cut of the leg is great with a heel, but also works really well with a turn up! The only down side to this jean is it has a very low rise so if you have a bit of a tummy I would opt instead for an M&S option.
M&S Indigo Collection Slim Leg jean£19.50. Sorry for the small image can't find a better one but follow the link to check them out. This jean comes in 4 shades I would opt for the black or the white.
Another Jean which I have to mention is the Next Flare £25, I am not usually a massive fan of Next jeans but this shape is fab and great for an everyday jean.
I hope you like my top selection! I will be buying the Straight-cut dotty P's pair, styling my mum in the Indigo pair and my sis in the Oasis Poppy or the Next Flare.I also have to mention the M&S - North Coast jeans £39.50 for men as they worked really well on the older gent.
and the Next - Dark Wash Hiro jean £32-£40 nice easy style without any fuss!

Glad it is all going well and you deserve some chocs as bet you were lovely to them!!
ReplyDeleteCan you please put a mention in for all those vertically-challenged (short) people. I have a huge problem getting jeans short enough in the leg but wide enough in the arse/thigh/stomach regions. Surely there are enough of us 5' 2" fatties?
ReplyDeleteHI Anonymous: I know that finding a short length jean with a high waist can be tuff! Wallis do a petite bootcut at the moment which is a mid rise, but comes in a petite short!
ReplyDeleteM&S also offer all of their jeans in a short length and the waists are higher which is great for a tummy or a bottom. Another alternative is the straight cut as you do not compromise on the shape when taking the length up.
I also think that a flared jean taken up works as it becomes more bootcut!
Try those options and if you still don't have any sucess let me know!
