Find Jeans that Fit

"You've had jeans you bought and they fit really great but the next day they don't fit," says Vavilala. "The premium denim has a tighter weave so it will actually stay fit."

This article out of First Coast News in Jacksonville, Florida discusses the problem of getting a consistent fit out of a pair of jeans. Wardrobe consultant Stephanie Vavilala who works at boutique, Wardrobe Therapy in Jacksonvilee recommends people "...buy good denim."

The article continues on to recommend certain jean's for certain shapes:

Pam Gundlach has a different problem. "I have long legs but I am short wasted," says Gundlach. "So I have to find jeans that are made in longer length and that are low wasted so that it doesn't come up too high," says Gundlach.

Vavilala says J & Company has jeans that fit this body type as well. J & Company jeans usually cost about $150 to $170.

The article concludes with Vavilala's "5 key points" to consider when purchasing jeans. She expounds on each in the article:
  1. The quality of the denim.
  2. The waist band.
  3. Check the jean length.
  4. Pay attention to the hem of the jeans.
  5. Pay attention to the pockets.
Brands discussed include: Grass Jeans, J & Company, Gap Long & Lean, It Jeans
