Find the perfect jeans for YOUR body type

003-best-jeansLet’s face it, we don’t all look good in the same pair of jeans. So when you go jeans hunting look for that super trendy  pair of jeans that will flatter your body.Every girl should own a pair of classic skinny jeans because they flatter every body shape and they are super easy to pull off. But to make the pair your own try on different rises (low, mid-high, high) and figure out which one looks the best on your body, once that’s done that pair will become your best friend and go to jeans.. It’s a little like the sisterhood of traveling pants with these jeans.If you have a boyish body try on a pair of embellished jeans, they’ll draw attention to the embellishments but stay clear of patterns or embellishments that draw attention to your inner thighs or butt. A must have for any girl with a boyish body is jeans with tapered legs which makes you look curvier. If you’re tall I’d recommend long and lean straight legged jeans that give an illusion of a bigger derriere and if you have long legs flaunt them don’t hide them. If you have an athletic body try on a pair of boyfriend jeans and for bonus style points roll them up a bit and pair them with a heeled shoe. The key to find the best pair is to look for a straight cut, with the slightest taper and don’t forget to leave some extra space in there for your thighs. If you’re a curvy girlie trust me high waisted jeans are the key, they elongate your legs and flatter you in all the right places. If you want to drive the eye away of your curves try on wide legged high waited jeans that give an illusion of longer legs and that may make you look skinnier.

The cardigan makes a comeback

The cardigan never actually gone away but it has been a bit neglected in the fashion industry and waiting for a moment to take our breath away. That moment has finally come. In the autumn and winter 2013 shows it made it’s comeback in the Saint Laurent and Prada shows as the key piece. Prada made the cardigan look sexy while Saint Laurent made it look more on the sleek side. Blake Lively and Charlotte Dellal both sported a cardigan on the red carpet and they both killed it. Rihanna on the other hand did a no no while wearing nothing but a cardigan and pearls at a chanel show. A cardigan is one of the most versatile pieces ever and can make your outfit look fab if it’s styled correctly!

Style icon: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga hasn’t been in the music scene for long but her music and fashion sense turned the music industry upside down. Her style might be a bit crazy but she always catches our attention. Her style has changed since the first time she hit the scene back in 2007 in latex bathing suits and giant bows to the better. I believe that she’s a style inspiration to many women and men because she’s fearless, wears what she wants, doesn’t care about what people think of her and has an incredible, fashion forward sense of style. Check out a slideshow featuring the best Gaga looks that Hany (the biggest little monster I know) and I put together http://share.snacktools.com/9DD6586BDC9/b7pi2cnx . Special thanks to Hany!
