" In Those Jeans "

Wassup, Wassup, WASSUP... ( in my Martin voice ) I know by now some of y'all must think I'm a hater (Ha,Ye Shrugs) I'm not. Ok I lied (lol) I do be hatin' a little on y'all fortunate blessed souls with them hips and booties to match. Don't get me wrong I love my petite frame but I grew up around Curvy woman  (I don't know why I didn't get those genetics *sigh* I think I hatched from a egg or I'm adopted and/or they found me but nobodies talkin' lol).  I find curvy frames so beautiful when it's kept an taking care of nice. That statement brings me to some of y'all that think that you do look good or as we now use the word for good, sexy, pretty ect. is BAD ( Stop it please. I beg you to know what you look like & not to allow thirst of men  that will say anything to get your attention or to get in them draws or your friends telling you your a " Bad Bitch" fool you into false beliefs. No you just look Bad using the original meaning in the dictionary.  Lmao
 Okay but now let's get down to business this weeks topic is about Jeans. I'm talking about different styles & cuts and who should and shouldn't wear them. A lot of us don't know how to pick out clothes for our body types to  accentuate our shape. All to often I see this with my heavier on the thick side ladies. I'm not tryin to single y'all out but it's true. All to often I see a big girl in some skinny jeans looking like if she took a deep breath it be over for them pants (lol). But then again I have seen this happen with men and these skinny jeans as well when they came into fashion. I'd see these thick or heavy set guys with skinny jeans on but they can't even come past his thighs cause they are so tight but they trying to front like " nah I just have them saggin' " chill bro you not foolin' no one the jig is up we know what's up your fat self ain't built for skinny jeans so fall back and leave those jeans to the skate board skinny dudes. Don't be discouraged tho I'm here to help ( rips shirt open and has a S on my chest lol) I have an alternative for you guys and girls, there are boot cut jeans and straight leg for  slim fitting to give that skinny jean look without them looking like your ankles and thighs are choking. For you ladies same thing or why not try to avoid jeans that are so tight they actually tend to make you look bigger then what you are. So a try a relaxer jean which is also known as a boyfriend jeans.

Relaxed Jean: This jean is the opposite of a fitted jean. Typically with high end jeans you will find this only in their Boyfriend cuts. This is where the look is to be relaxed or more slouchy, it should leave more room in the thigh and will not fit snugly to you.



Enough of picking at my thick heavy set men and women you know Chrissyy love y'all  (hug).

 For my fellow skinny petite frame ladies, we are already slim sometimes skinny jeans aren't always the answer they sometimes tend to make us look too thin. Try to find boyfriend cut jeans for you as well that relaxed fit sometimes is sexy wether you wear it with sneakers for that tomboy effect or put a cuff in them mid caf and wear a pair of heels. (this is a great tip for any shape woman wearing these jeans ). These jeans can be dressed up or down, but I know some stray away from them in thinking they will give off a mixed sexual preference but fashion has no sex just all in how you put your outfit together. If you are going to wear a loose fitted pant your top should be more fitted (not saying tight, just more fitted then your pant). Skinny jeans tho are just that made to give a slimming effect even can make a person the illusion of being taller then what they actually are. Skinny jeans are great for getting dressed up with, throw on a pair of heels with them and  you took your outfit up a notch or two.

Here are some other jean/denim  break downs:

Fitted Jean: This is the opposite of a relaxed jean. It is designed to fit snugly to your body. So even if the jean is a Boot leg it still may feel fitted to your shape. This is so it is more contoured to you, , a fit that looks and feels good and moves with you.

 Boot Cut Jeans: A traditional Boot cut jean typically has the 2nd most room in the leg area where it comes down from the hips, is a little slimmer through the thighs and has a slightly smaller opening then the Wide Leg. This cut is generally a good cut for someone who has thicker thighs and needs more room in the legs or for someone who doesn’t want the jean hugging their legs too tightly.
Skinny Jeans: This jean is fitted from hips to ankle and the leg opening will be tight to the ankle. This is a versatile jean that can be worn with any shoe in any season and still look good. A Straight Legged Jean can be a perfect substitute if more room in the leg is preferred.

Straight Legged Jeans: A Straight legged jean will have the same width at the knee area as at the leg opening, or hem area. This is good universal fit for a lot of people. There is a difference between a relaxed and a fitted straight. Some prefer the fitted straight to the ‘skinny’ because it doesn’t taper through the legs as much, staying looser through the knee and ankle, rather than staying tight all the way.

Stretch Denim: Stretch Denim is exactly what it sounds like: stretchy. It should retain its shape better and the elasticity will help the jean stay snug on you, instead of stretching out. This denim mixes quality textiles together and works the materials to have a nice soft fitting jean that makes you look and feel good. The better the materials the more the jean should feel soft and comfortable and stay fitting well through several wears.

Constructive Denim: Constructed Denim is the opposite of Stretch Denim. It should have less give and stretch and will feel heavier and thicker when you touch it. The constructive denim will still have a small amount of stretch to hold its shape throughout the day. This denim does not feel as soft but can still be a great jean and fit. This is a great jean for one who does not like the feel of stretch.

 Lastly my pet peeve are girls That wear low rise waisted jeans that shouldn't. If your tummy or upper body hangs over your jeans it's time to evaluate your life. The most that bothers me tho are the girls who wear them when they have a ass crack that sits high on their back so you see it peeking from the back of the jeans wether they have a belt on or not. This out right grosses me out (maybe its just me) but its freaks me out.


Like always tho I have a suggestion on how to fix and avoid this from happening. High waisted pants have came back into style and are very popular at the moment, they are amazing I feel on all body shapes from skin to thick. These high waist pants give that long look to your body plus can hold in whatever extra you have around the tummy. For extra help with that there are under garments made for that purpose. Your probably thinking of your mom or grandmas  girdles (lol)  but they aren't as ugly and unattractive as they use to be and they can hold in any extra you have around the waist to make it look more slim.Try spanx they make the body look more slim and fitted: www.spanx.com

Its my time to say bye and see you next week has come cause I do have other things to do,  It is Saturday people!  Don't get me wrong I love typing my thoughts to y'all but I gotta go do my hair I'm looking a hot mess at this very moment (lol).  But I hope y'all find this informative and please feel free to comment, with questions or even topic ideas you may have.
