Jeans That Hide Flaws
Look instantly slimmer in denim that features strategic seaming, washes, and cuts.
By Adam Glassman
Adam Says…
1. Choose dark-wash jeans with side seaming that curves into the thighs to make them look slimmer.
2. Higher rises help control muffin top.
3. When you find the perfect pair of jeans, buy two and hem one for flats, the other for heels.
