It came to us accross the decades without being affected, but rather enriching itself with new ideas: we are talking about denim, the garment that has revolutionized the way of dressing around the world and that continues to fascinate generations after generations.
The history of jeans begins far away. They were born as work clothes, then they became iconic, real cult objects, symbols of an era and a way of life. In a nutshell, a must-have garment, present (and we're sure!) in every personal closet today.
Denim is the "life-saving" garment: that garment that you can wear in many contexts, so classic as to be adequate most of the time, to which you only have to match the right top. But if versatility is not a sufficient prerequisite, together with the strength and practicality of these pants, their kindness, we immediately pull out another one: if you find the right jeans for your silhouette... it's like having found a friend: a treasure!
We'll give you a few tips, but just consider them as general lines: every rule has its exceptions and you might find a model that makes you feel comfortable even with the most unthought out of design!
Skinny jeans dress as if they were a second skin: tight and shaping, they are perfect for those with well-balanced shapes and thin waist. If you have very thin legs, prefer larger models, such as palazzo denim: you can find many Elisabetta Franchi palazzo denim that have extreme versatility and practicality, often decorated with chains or removable pendants that you can use at your discretion.
If you're not very tall, one way to create an optical "leg stretching" effect is to choose high-waisted jeans. Among the Elisabetta Franchi denims you can find several examples, also in this case with removable ornaments or jewel-buttons (usually in light or antique gold). Avoid jeans with low waists or ankle cuts, which tend to further thin the leg.
Flared jeans are particularly well suited to curvy: the band is at the right point (where there are beautiful curves to enhance) but the flared leg creates balance in the figure and in the outfit in general. The same goes for straight leg jeans, of which you can find examples among Manila Grace denims.
