“I have a complex figure, I cannot choose the right jeans” - Alena turned to me with such a problem. She is the owner of an apple figure, the features of which are a rounded belly, a lush chest, an unexpressed waist line. Slim hips and slender legs are indisputable advantages, and, of course, they want to be emphasized. Therefore, it is not surprising that girls with this type of figure often choose skinny jeans with a low waistline. But this model is not suitable for "apple" shapes: the top becomes even more voluminous, and the bottom, due to the tight-fitting silhouette, is completely lost against the general background.
How to balance the proportions of the figure?
- Visually stretch the figure using plain clothes. Also in this case, a well-known stylistic technique works well: shoes, chosen in the color of the trousers, lengthen the legs.
- Focus on a beautiful neckline or slender legs, distracting attention from the waist, or rather from its absence. Whenever possible, leave the graceful wrists and ankles open.
- It is better to choose trousers or jeans with a free cut, 7/8 length.
I suggested Alena to try on jeans styles that she always avoided. And in vain! They are great for her figure.
High Rise Culotte Jeans
Many are afraid to even look in their direction, let alone try them on. And in vain! Despite the loose fit, culottes are slimmer: they mask imperfect legs and reveal graceful ankles.
The main conditions for a successful choice: high waist and matching top. The vest brilliantly copes with this role, because it suits everyone - regardless of height and physique. He creates the necessary vertical that slims and visually stretches the silhouette. The vest also completes the look and makes it thoughtful and stylish.
Jeans slots
This is a "hybrid" of mom jeans and bananas, but with wider legs.
They help balance the figure and make the bottom proportionate to the top. Thanks to the high waistline, jeans highlight the waistline even where there is none. This is a good example of how the "apple" turns into an attractive "eight". Note that the white color in this case does not fill up at all, but if skinny layers were in place, they would definitely have the opposite effect.
Relaxed fit trousers, slightly tapered at the bottom
This is what a modern stylization of a classic look looks like - no boring! They say that in this outfit you want to go to the office even on weekends (but this is not certain). Please note that due to the layered top, the waistline is not visible, but it cannot be said that it is too wide, vague or not at all. A cropped vest made of thick fringed tweed takes responsibility for the harmony of proportions. Trousers from this image captivate me with their versatility: they do not spoil the figure and look equally stylish with high-heeled ankle boots, sneakers, and heavy boots.
I'm convinced: there are no bad shapes, there are wrong things that distort proportions and highlight flaws. And the task of clothing is exactly the opposite - to emphasize dignity.
There are no absolutely identical figures, and what suits one girl may not suit another. But I still advise you to take a closer look at the styles of trousers presented above and try them on - what if this is exactly what you need? It is not necessary to compose images for a carbon copy, the things you choose may be different. The principle itself is important.
