Transcript:Tips for Buying Plus-Size Jeans
Hi, I'm Victoria Briseno, Miss Texas Plus America 2007, and today I'm going to give you some tips on how to best shop and find jeans that fit and flatter you.Plus-Size Stores and Locations
The first thing I would suggest is to shop at stores or websites that specialize in plus sizes. Plus sizes start at a size 12 and go on up. Plus size stores cater to plus sizes and plus sizes only so you won't have to hunt for your size or try to squeeze in the smaller sizes.Next, I would suggest looking at what other women your size are wearing to get ideas.
Try on Everything
Once you are armed with ideas and store locations, it's time to shop! Look over all the options and try on everything. A lot of the time the pair of jeans you think will look the best won't and vise versa.Don't worry so much about what size the jeans are rather then how they fit. When wearing your jeans, no one will see what size you're wearing, but they can see if they fit properly.
Avoid Flair Jeans
Avoid extreme flair jeans because they can make your legs and thighs appear to be bigger then they really are. Try boot cut jeans or straight leg jeans instead.Avoid Low Rise Jeans
Low rise jeans are not your friend. Try to avoid these jeans and instead opt for medium rise jeans.Try Stretch Jeans
Consider wearing Lycra/stretch jeans to fit your shape. Even jeans with a tiny bit of stretch can go a long way.Accessorize Your Outfit
And finally, don't be afraid to accessorize! A nice belt, a colorful shirt, or a nice pair of heels can really go a long way. Just make sure to not over do it either!Thank you so much for watching! For more information please visit us on About.com.
