British fashion consultant showed you how to find the perfect jeans size without trying on. Reported by The Sun.
According to Gok Wan, you first need to know your body type. The fact is that the same model of jeans will fit differently on different physiques. “One of the most common complaints that I often hear from women is that their waist is very different in size from their hips. For example, a pear-shaped lady might find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly in the buttocks, but they will be they are too big for her. Or vice versa: at the waist they fit in size, but they cannot be pulled, “- said the stylist.
To avoid this problem, Wang explained to pay attention to the “yoke” – the angle between the two seams located on the back of the garment just below the waistband. The depth of the yoke is responsible for the volume at the waist and hips. The larger the angle, the narrower the waist and more space in the lower body. “Such a small detail is able to firmly hold you around the waist, and at the same time it is beneficial to emphasize your buttocks,” the Englishman assured.
In addition, you should not focus on your clothing size, since each brand uses the so-called “block” when creating its products. It is a piece of wood that serves as a template for the size and fit of the garment being produced.
“One store can use a block for a certain size with a value of 12, and another for the same size will use a block with a value of 16. This does not mean that you have gained weight or lost weight, it means that the factory is simply using a different block. “Wang explained. Instead of focusing on the size of the clothes, the stylist advised to measure parts of your body with a tape measure and compare them with the table of parameters available at each store.
In addition, you need to pay attention to the style of the product. For those with a narrow waist, Wang recommends high-rise jeans. Thus, it will be possible to favorably emphasize the figure and visually lengthen the legs. For women with long legs and a short torso, jeans with a low rise are suitable – this model will balance the proportions of the body. Mid-rise is suitable if you want to tuck a shirt or sweater into your jeans.
The stylist also mentioned that the size of the back pockets of jeans can affect the visual perception of the hips. The smaller they are, the larger the buttocks appear, and vice versa.
Earlier in January, a woman ordered three pairs of jeans from the same store and laughed after trying on. Roxanne Stobbs, 31, ordered three pairs of size 16 trousers, which by Russian standards equals size 48 (L), from the Boohoo retailer’s website. When the woman opened the package she received, she laughed as she thought that someone else’s order had been sent to her. According to her, two of the three pants were too tight for her thighs.
