According to current style fashionistas, skinny jeans are out and bootcut jeans are trending again. (Whew!) Boot cut jeans are a great go-to when you are between styles and they are considered universally flattering.I have a confession to make, I like this trend. I am a breast cancer veteran of the chemo wars, who is still battling fifteen pounds gained from treatment drugs. Weight gain or weight loss can be one of the most frustrating side effects of cancer treatment. The beauty of jeans is that they come in so many cuts and styles. Here are some tips to help you find a figure-flattering pair that’s right for you.

Full Figured & Fabulous? Opt for:

• Dark denim
• Moderate rise, falling right below the belly button
• Boot cut or trouser jeans
• No embellishments
• Flat, well-placed pockets

Slender & Spectacular? Look for:

• Dark, medium or light rinse denim
• Slim fit sizing & low waist styles
• Fancy details and embellishments (simple not overdone)
• Skinny jeans flaunt thin legs, while wide-leg trouser styles add volume

Slip on a great headscarf or fashionable beanie, add a crisp white shirt, jewelry, and low boots, and you are good to go. When you return and its time to clean those jeans–toss them in the washing machine inside out, clean in cool water, and let them air dry. This will help them maintain their color and shape, and have other people thinking that you are a jean-ius.
