When looking for the perfect basic jean keep these tips in mind to make your jean quest effortless ... well easier anyway!  Assess each of the elements that make up a jean individually and bring a tape measure along, you will never look at jeans in the same way.
Fabric
Look for a fabric content which contain a little Elastane or Lycra as this will allow the jeans to mould to your shape, however too much stretch will neutralize the figure hugging properties esteemed upon the humble jean. 98% cotton 2% Elastane is the most common and flattering fabrication in the market place.
Wash
Darker denim is always the most flattering, for an even darker wash some styles are overdyed with a navy or blue-black dye to give the denim a richer indigo quality.
The Front Rise
This is the measure from the junction of the under seam to the top of the front waistband.
A Mid Rise is the most flattering to all body shapes; this will sit well below the belly button but high enough to feel comfortable.
Look for a measurement, between 20-23cm.
The Back Rise
This is the measure from the junction of the under seam to the top of the back waistband.
Please check that you can sit down easily without showing any cleavage, this should be a deal breaker as not being able to sit in your new jean can be limiting.
Look for a measurement, between 31-34cm
Knee Definition
A little shaping at the knee will give your legs shape and has an overall slimming effect.
Leg Opening
This measurement can change the overall silhouette and effect; a too wide leg opening can be shortening to some and will delegate this jean to predominately casual looks. Skinny jeans a fashion must-have, however “skinnies” do emphasise the curve of your hip... take comfort the right top will offset this.
But a slight boot cut will balance your hip waist bust ratio sliming and elongating your silhouette, making this jean a must-have basic for any modern woman’s wardrobe.
Look for a leg opening between 40- 48cm in total.
Pockets

Pockets are a science onto themselves especially the back pockets. Look for pockets that are larger in size, positioned too low and your bum will look long and sagging to high and the overall effect will be lost. The back pocket should be centred too far from the centre front seam and it will make your bum look flat and wide. To close to the centre front seam and this will emphasise the curve of your hip. For the final sculpturing uplift the back pocket should be angled slightly inward.

Wishing you, best of luck on your jean finding quest.

Love your stylist xx
