The right cut!

We love our jeans but wearing the wrong style can give the illusion you weigh more than you really do! Choose jeans with a waistband that hits you just right, avoiding any belly bulge that may hang over the top! If you wear jeans with a waistband that is too high, you'll emphasize your belly and your bottom making them look larger than they really are. If you aren't built like a waif, you may want to consider boot cut style jeans as they are the most flattering to most builds. The wrong pockets in the wrong place on your posterior may also make your booty look larger. If your goal is to slim your hips, try cuts that flatter you. And be sure they are the right size. Jeans and clothes in general that are too small will make you appear heavier and not the other way around! Return to Summer Slimdown Guide.
