Genius Jean Makeovers

Erin After

Erin's new jeans take her over the moon! "I feel awesome!" she says of her new figure-flattering "Tessie Trouser" jeans from Theory. The more modest mid-rise provides tummy coverage, Stacey points out, "and locks and loads the muffin top."

Trouser jeans are a sensible choice with a modern edge—and dressy enough to be worn out on the town. "Just be careful that the boot cut that you get is not too tight on the knee," Stacey advises. Loose construction, similar to slacks, draws attention away from a heavier thigh.
