Combining two or more bright colors is a fun way to to brighten an outfit especially around summertime. If you’re uneasy wearing too much color, try blending a neutral outfit with colorful  accessories like orange heels or a bright blue purse. Color blocking can de done to a dressy outfit, or kept casual for a fun weekend look.

This outfit features one of my favorite colors,bright and cheery yellow pumps, which can easily be paired with a bright blue top for a fun contrast. The off-the-shoulder top and peep-toe pumps add a fun and feminine flair, while the creased two-toned skinny jeans keep the look casual and relaxed.

I’ve compiled a few tips to help you find a pair that’s both flattering to your shape and comfortable.

The first step is fit.

You have to make sure the jeans you choose flatter your body shape and conceal your flaws. Are you an hourglass (curvy with a small waist), pear shaped (wider around your hips and bottom), ruler/ rectangle shaped (bust and hips are same size with less curves, more of an athletic build), apple shaped (waist size is larger as comparison to bust and hips). Finding out what body shape you are will make it easier in finding flattering jeans.
If you have an hourglass shape opt for skinny or low rise jeans to show off your curves. Pear-shapes should look for stretch jeans with a bit of flare to show off their curvy hips and even out their proportions. Ruler/rectangle shapes should look for boot cut or wide leg jeans to add more curves and define their athletic build. If you’re apple shaped try looking for high-waisted, boot cut, stretch jeans or jeans with a bit of flare at the bottom to even out your proportions.

Here’s a few more jean buying tips for every body!

-stretch jeans are great for comfort and a body hugging fit.
-boot cut and flare jeans give a lean and long look.
-cuffed jeans are not very flattering and will usually make your legs look shorter.
-shop for dark denim, light denim makes you look wider.
-tiny pockets on your butt will make it look oversized, low pockets will make your butt look higher. 5 pocket jeans are a classic and flatter most shapes.
-while in the fitting room, crouch down and move around to ensure jeans fit comfortably. The front button should close easily and the fly should remain flat.
-avoid those butt enhancing jeans. False advertisement. Love your booty even if it’s a little small, its still yours and confidence is sexy!
You will probably still need to try on various jeans to ensure you find a good fit. These are just a few tips to help make your shopping experience a bit easier !
