Fashion and Style Tip #5:

Want to look instantly slimmer in jeans?

Buy the darkest wash you can find, and look for styles that are slightly flared at the ankle. A lighter wash makes your legs look larger, while dark colors make you look skinnier. A flared leg will help balance out a wider thigh.

Whatever you do, if you don’t have stick-thin legs, avoid skin-tight white tapered-leg jeans at all costs!

Agreed! Dark washes are sooo much more flattering than lighter ones. It puzzles me why stores still see to carry so many more light wash jeans than dark wash ones.

Hi, I found this website like yesterday and i’ve been reading through your archive for like an hour. I so agree with this tip. I personally have larger thighs and find that darker washes make my legs look slimmer+i just think they look nicer. Have a good christmas!
