Finding the just-right pair of jeans can do wonders for your backside. The secret? It’s all in the pockets.
Plain Wide-Set Pockets
Best for: The well-endowed
Why: Unembellished wide pockets that sit lower on your backside help to balance out a bootylicious rear. Avoid intricate stitching details and smaller pockets, since they can exaggerate size.
Flap Pockets
Best for: Flat-bottomed girls
Why: Detailed flap pockets (think: buttons, contrast stitching, or embroidery) give the illusion of a rounder backside. Those that taper to a point help emphasize the top half of your booty – a.k.a. where you need the most added volume.
Close-Sitting Vertical Pockets
Best for: Wide behinds
Why: Midsized back pockets that sit closer together (and don’t splay diagonally outward) work well with the scale of wider behinds, drawing attention toward the middle of the rear and creating the illusion of a narrower backside.
It’s time to flaunt your best asset.
