ALLIE’S PICKS:

1) Spanx Flares – in the Vintage Indigo Wash or White  (Spanx just added wide leg jeans to their collection, too!) SHOP HERE

Allie says, “I’m pretty passionate about women adding a white jean to their wardrobe. That is one of the main gaps I see in their closets. It’s a great staple to have that gives you more ways to utilize the tops in your closet. Unfortunately, white jeans are from hell and are horrible to find where they don’t make you look two sizes bigger than you are. That’s why I only trust Spanx when it comes to white denim.”

2) Free People Jayde Flares – so many colors and only $98!! (Size down, they have a lot of stretch!) SHOP HERE

3) Good American Cropped – I’ve had clients buy these and love them, including plus size women. A cropped jean is the most versatile jean! It can be dressed up or down and worn with so many different shoes. You just have to be sure they hit at the right place, just above the ankle. SHOP GOOD AMERICAN HERE

What style of jean is most flattering?

The most flattering style of jean depends on your body type. The most universally flattering jean has got to be the Spanx flare or straight leg jean but if you’re still unsure, here are a few general guidelines to follow:

• Hourglass: Look for high-waisted jeans with a flared or wide leg.
• Pear-shaped: Opt for bootcut or flare jeans to balance out wider hips.
• Apple-shaped: Go for straight or skinny jeans to elongate your legs.
• Athletic: Look for high-waisted skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans for a relaxed yet flattering fit.

What jeans should every woman own?

Every woman should have a few staple pairs of jeans in her wardrobe. Here are the must-haves:
