Jeans for the best curves

GULFWEEKLY’S Camille Jones has an eye for trends and we’ve let her loose around the towns and villages of Bahrain, the malls and the tiny independent outlets, looking to inspire our family of readers.

Do these jeans make me look fat? I’m sure we have all asked ourselves this question, either in our minds or to the ‘bestie’ while contorting our body in front of a three-way mirror at the mall.

Purchasing the right denim is very important because it is the uniform of casual and we all need a pair that hugs the curves in all the right places. Since 1994, Salsa Jeans has been ‘high-teching’ denim with innovation that feeds the ‘perfect fit’ culture in order to keep its followers #instaready for all those backside selfies.

Blue jeans have come a long way since Levi Strauss’ gold digging days back in the 1800s, with a shift from stiff miner’s wear to a cult classic. Modern cuts and revolutionary atelier aesthetics now nip and tuck your assets to give the illusion of ‘fit and fine’.

Salsa’s best kept secret, the ‘Push In’ are flattering high-waist jeans that give a tummy-tuck effect in a very subtle and effective way. They are fashionable with the back pocket design and have a light ‘push up’ back-side effect and are available in slim, skinny or bootcut leg.

The next trick up their sleeve (or pant leg) is the ‘Push up Wonder’ which is the number one push-up jean in the market with the ultimate effect. It is powered by the design of the back pockets combined with a wide variety of washes that are available in slim, straight or boot-cut. In order to keep sensuality and comfort it maintains the low-rise. For the push-up effect these jeans should be worn really tight because they will stretch out over time and you don’t want saggy-bum syndrome.
 
Its most recent brand innovation, ‘Push up Mystery’, is the fit that literally creates curves! The secret lies in the insertion of two internal pads on the bottom that add volume in the right place, for the perfect visual effect, but are undetectable to the naked eye and can be found in straight and slim leg.

I am personally still having a hard time with the ‘mom jean’ trend because literally my mother wore them. However, fashion can be ironic and this shop has recreated this vintage hit of the 90s affectionately calling it ‘Daughter Jeans’. This high-waist fit is ideal for those who like this style of denim, or for women with a slightly wider hip.

Gents can also get in on the ‘shape appeal’ with one of the newest fits, ‘slender’ which are a low-rise skinny leg. This look is modern, trendy and it is also very comfortable. If the loose fit are more your thing then opt for the ‘Loose Cooper’. These jeans are the typical comfortable denim that can be thrown on for work or play.
 
If you are more of a straight shooter then the ‘Straight Navarro’ will ease your practical temperament with a combination of low waist and straight leg that build the perfect everyday look. The lowered back pockets guarantee a soft loose fit. If you are looking for more room in the thigh area, you should choose a size above your normal size.
