The Dark Truth about Denim Washes

No matter what your style preference for jeans, no matter how common they are, you should never buy distressed-wash jeans unless you are slender (and all of you is slender--not just your lower half).

A seemingly normal pair of jeans that could look fabulous on you in the right size and cut could look disastrous if the butt, front thighs or pelvic area are a lighter wash than the rest of the jeans. The light color draws attention to some of the worst problem areas a woman (or man, even) can have.

Think you've got thunder thighs without any pants on? Put on a pair of jeans with lighter washed thighs and you've got sausage legs. Got a big butt? The light wash will make it look even wider. Use common sense when buying jeans. Forget the trends--they're only around for a while before you look outdated and need to buy something new. Solid-colored or dark-washed jeans are the most flattering for all shapes, in any style.
