The Solution: Pocket Science
Birgit knows how priceless great denim is. When she's off duty, the flight attendant says people try to buy the jeans off her backside: "No country has the variety of brands we do." At a size 4, she needed a pair with prominent pockets (People's Liberation for Charlotte Russe) to build on the behind you'd never know she has. "At 49, I'm concerned with gravity, so I love how this flap pocket gives me lift," she says. Like gray flannel, the new gray denim is a neutral that can easily be dressed up or down. Tucking in a draped silk blouse (Ports 1961 by Tia Cibani) emphasizes her waist; monochromatic ankle boots (Modern Vintage) lengthen the line of the leg.
Jeanious Idea: If you don't have much in back, you can get away with tight. Look for details that pad what you've got.
