Denim blue jeans are fabulous on women at any age. Go for the classic plain styles and focus on fit. Avoid the trendy rips and passing styles. Don’t wear schleppy jeans that do nothing for your figure. Remember to buy new jeans every few years to keep your look fresh and young! A slightly stretchy fabric lets you wear snugger jeans but still feel comfortable for every day.

Given that I have no money to spare on over priced designer label blue jeans, I need to try and survive on my good old blue jeans.  Here are some tips on how to pick jeans that you can wear for years to come. Be sure to invest some time when shopping for jeans since you need to figure out what styles work for you. Boot cut jeans (rather than skinny jeans) like the ones you can get at The Gap look great on plus size women, and jeans with cute back pockets look good on women with flat buttocks who need curves. A medium height waist which is not too high or low works best for women too.

Avoid Trendy Decorated BlueJeans

Since I know that my jeans have to last, I now try not to purchase jeans that are too trendy.  No appliqués, beadwork, color dyed or stonewashed styles for me.  No bell bottoms or super skinny jeans.  Those go out of style.  But oops, there I am on the right in a trendy pair of purposely ripped jeans.  That is a jeans Don’t.  I actually do look really good in those jeans I am told.  The fit of the jeans on the right is awesome however, the style is way too trendy.  I paid twenty dollars for them a while back.  These jeans would be great if they did not have the trend rips in them.  The fit is good but the style is too teenager. In general, I would avoid trendy jeans and go for jeans that are classic and plain and that fit your body like a glove.

Brand Name Denim Jeans

I have never been a fan of the designer blue jeans.  Back in my day it was Guess jeans.  Nowadays it is Lucky Jeans or Seven Jeans that women want.  I cannot afford designer jeans and get less expensive brands, anything from Gap to Levi’s to Angel jeans to generic jeans, I don’t care as long as they look and fit good and cost little.  If you are really really a designer jeans girl, and a certain expensive brand of blue jeans looks awesome on you, only then is it worth the investment of your money.  If you constantly wear that pair of jeans over and over, then you know it was worth the money you paid for them. I know many women like the jeans that are sold at The Gap, and The Gap has fairly reasonable prices.

Blue Jean Fit

Blue jeans look best when they are slightly tight and show off your feminine curves.  You don’t want to look like a boy you want to look like a sexy woman.  One caveat is that you should not wear jeans that are too high waisted (also known as mom jeans) or too low rise (too vampy). Make sure the jeans accentuate your hips and waist and show your body curves.  Go for a middle compromise between the two.   I survive on clothes from my closet and I have found that the jeans I own that have a little bit of stretch to them are the best ones.  Stretch denim is a great material for showing off your figure.   They look snug and nice yet they don’t feel snug because they have some give to the material.  The denim blue jeans in my closet are older than my children are!

Worn out Blue Jeans

Once you have a pair of jeans that look good and are comfortable, you never want to let them go.  A pair of nicely worn in Levi’s is sexy.  But where you cross the line, is when you have burned a hole in the crotch of your jeans from heavy use.  At that point in time, it is time to throw them away.  As a general rule of thumb, if you look like a homeless person in your blue jeans, it is time to throw them away. If your denim jeans are starting to look too distressed and ripped it is time to buy new jeans.  Jeans are an essential casual wardrobe element, and you want them to be both comfortable and make you look good.  I recommend trying a variety of them on to see what fits best for your body type before buying new ones.

There is nothing like a sexy snug fitting pair of wornout blue jeans. You can wear jeans for years but be sure to shop for new jeans when it's time. Work your body curves and be sexy!
