Jeans: The Secret to a Nice Bum


In all my time, I've found one thing to be true - it's so damn hard to find just the perfect pair of jeans. I have found one little tidbit of information which has been helpful to me, and hopefully to you as well.

So girls, do you ever try on a pair of jeans that look stunning, gorgeous - Beautiful - from the front. And then the dreaded moment comes when you turn around, and you then realize that they make your butt look... somewhat... not so good.

We've all heard about vertical lines, and low-rise, and big pockets, and pocket placement, and all those things. But one thing I've never heard anyone mention is that beautiful little stitch that sits just above the back pockets.

Not all jeans have it, but the jeans that will make your backside look amazing, they DO.
Have a look at the jeans above ( from Miss Sixty ). One small little thing makes a big difference, and it's visible on this pair. Notice the black seam above the pockets? This seam, when done correctly, can give you the butt you want. Things to note:

  1. Direction and Curve: A good seam points down in the middle, and goes back up when it moves toward your hips, like an arrow. The ones that go straight across aren't so useful. This creates roundness to the top of your butt.
  2. Placement: A good seam isn't too close to the belt buckles. One that's down just above the pockets is best. This creates the illusion of a short, perky bum, instead of a long sort of sagging one.
So, remember, if you want the look of a cute, round, perky bum, fresh from doing 200 lunges and squats at the gym, try this style. See what you think.

PS. Super skinny girls who already have a tiny bum can go ahead and disregard this. ;)

I feel more confident when I am wearing skirt instead of jeans. Of course jeans is more practical but sometimes it's hard to find the right 'jeans' for me. I am not talking about the size but the 'style'. A lot of great jeans look bad if I am wearing them.
