If you look at the huge array of denim styles available in retail stores, you’ll notice that they’re not necessarily flattering, but rather, they’re just “stylish” and most times, conjure images of 80s denim. So how do you know which jeans are flattering and which aren’t? Well first rule of thumb is that even though a jean style may be popular and trendy, it doesn’t mean that it’ll look good on you!

Jeggings are basically exremely skinny jeans that look like leggings and are also worn like leggings. I have to say that in the beginning I was not a fan of the skinny jean or the legging, but as time went on, I came to embrace both, and now, it seems like I can’t even wear any other types of jeans but skinny. The problem with these slim types of bottoms is that they’re hard to dress. And jeggings especially, can be a little tricky. A Few Thumb Rules First...
