If you have any intelligence about the history where fashion existed. There is a line there that indicates how to choose jeans that will fit your physique. Here are some of them Looking for the right size. At first you will find it hard to find your size. It will ask for large amount of effort from you. You have to know your hips and waist line. You have to know it as accurate as possible. Next, go to the nearest fashion store and look for one. Don't hesitate to ask for the seller's help. They know where exactly is the jeans you are looking for -(it will become easier it you do this.).

Know the Right Cuts The right kind of cut goes a long way to ensure that you have a good pair of comfortable jeans. To find this out, hold the jeans in front of you and just check the curve running from the thigh to the leg. If it's too curvy, consider buying another pair. Also, try out the jeans before you buy it. Some cuts may look perfect, but may not really fit you. Jeans with the perfect cut should be comfortable at the thigh, not mold itself tightly. Try sitting and walking around in the store to ensure that the jeans don't feel tight or too loose. Choose what brand fits your personality. Make a list. Make a list of brands or stores that are known for selling the right kind of jeans. Ask your friends, colleagues at work and neighbors for ideas. There are instances that decent store has a good collection of jeans while branded stores even though have a artistic/stylish set of fashion jeans, but nothing that really fits your style, it does not appeal to you well.
