Casual Fashions In Plus Size Jeans For You - By: Andrea Dilea, Posted on: 2008-02-25

Plus size jeans are an important element of the full-figured woman's casual wardrobe. Jeans come in a variety of styles, sizes and even colors. Just as women who are smaller than plus size have lots of choices in jeans, so do full-figured ladies. To use examples, there are plus size women with long legs, short legs, and medium sized women whose bodies are well proportioned. The good news is that no matter what plus size you are, there is a pair of jeans that are sized right for you.

Before you go shopping for a pair of jeans, accept your shape and size and do not lament the fact that you are not a size 6 or 8. These types of thoughts are self-defeating and serve to do nothing but make you feel bad about yourself. Focus on your good points and be happy that you are a healthy woman. Then go out and find a pair of jeans that are totally you!

The plus size jean is usually found in sizes 14 to 28, although brands vary considerably. A good rule of thumb is that a plus size is similar to one size larger in the regular line-that is, a plus 14 is similar to a regular 16. Plus sizes can be found in both "misses" cuts, which are relaxed in the leg and hip, and high in the hip, and "junior" cuts, which are more fitted and sit lower.

Jeans in a "junior" cut fit snugly in the leg and sit low on the waist. They are rather form-fitting, and full-figured shoppers should try on both jean cuts, taking into consideration their comfort and style, as well as the look. Model the different cuts in a full-length mirror, or, better yet, a three-way mirror, so that you can evaluate the fit from a number of perspectives. Make sure you are completely satisfied in every way before you buy. There is no best cut-it is a personal choice.

Full figured women who have a "pear" shape prefer boot cut jeans. A pear shaped body can be described as being biggest in the middle section (from the lower part of the stomach to the upper thighs). Boot cut jeans are popular because they de-emphasize the longer part of the body, which is a slimming look. Boot cut jeans generally look better with shoes with a heel or even platform shoes instead of shoes with a flat heel. Tapered jeans usually do not look good on a plus size woman and should be avoided, unless you really want to draw attention to the least liked parts of your body. Tapered style bottoms should really be reserved for the very thin girls.
