Get rid of these, along with those few guilty pairs in your closet.
Some of these myths are as old as that one pair of jeans from college that you still keep because it might fit again one day.
We call false, on all counts.
Don’t take us the wrong way, we struggle with jeans too. Everyone does, or probably has at some point. How do they look so good in the store, but not when you put them on? It might be cause you’re still listening to some of these lies…
Buy the size that fits you well as there is a higher chance of over-stretching jeans that’s too tight for you. Good quality jeans shouldn’t stretch, unless it’s old or damaged – which might mean that it’s time to bury it.
Instead of being too loose, your jeans might actually be too small at the waist, so it wriggles out of place. If you have to fuss with your jeans too often, get rid of it.
No matter how tight a jean is, it shouldn’t pucker (too much). One sign that it’s too tight is when the wrinkles are puckering inwards.
If you’ve got curves, flaunt them! Then flatter what god has given you with a darker wash and a flouncy top to create balance in volume.
Whoa, slow down, Negative Nancy. If you’ve tried on a boyfriend jean that didn’t look good, don’t write off all boyfriend jeans. Try it in a different brand, wash, length, and more – you might surprise yourself by how good it looks by varying a little detail like colour.
Different brands have different interpretations of sizes. A size 28 in one store is not the same in another. Always try on smaller and larger sizes to find the perfect fit for you. The size on the label doesn’t determine how good you look; the fit does!
7 A slipping zipper is a malfunctioning zipper
Jeans that are too tight tend to have slipping zippers. Show it the door the way you did that one fly in your kitchen – aggressively and assuredly.
Jean pockets can do so much for you. If you have a smaller bum, look out for pockets with flaps or contrasting stitching for a boost of volume. If you’re bottom heavy, opt for large, plainer pockets that will balance the volume of your booty.
Yes, but no. Make sure they fall right above your ankles. Jeans that are too short will make your legs look stumpy.
Four words: hand wash; air dry. The high temperatures of a washing machine and dryer might shrink your jeans and cause wear and tear.
