Denim jeans can turn your butt bootylicious with our uplifting tips


Picture the scenario: It’s Friday night and you have a hot date with the one you like most. You want to look super-fantastic in your new denim jeans, except the extra holiday calories are making you think that booty of yours needs to hit the gym! “Darn, no time!” you think to yourself. So how would one go about fixing this predicament that’s got you down?

“There are a few simple guidelines to follow,” says Linda DeFranco, Cotton Incorporated’s women’s wear trend forecaster. “You can achieve an uplifting effect without months of J Lo-worthy squats at the gym by keeping the following in mind when shopping for jeans:

• Look For A Boot Cut – Boot cuts are normally wider in the hips as at the bottom.
• Pay Special Attention To Rear Pockets- Look for larger, lower pockets (but not too low) on your denim jeans. Pockets that are too small will look out of whack on a curvaceous backside.
• Buy A Low-Rise Jean with a raised waistband- With an elongated waistband in the back you will get more room for your rear.
• Get Something With A Little Give In It- Denim jeans that have at least a 2% stretch (the industry standard) will fit to your body without feeling constricting.
• Go For A Backside A Little Out Of The Ordinary- Find a pair of jeans that have either intricate detailing and/or pleats on the pocket or a trouser-like pair that have flapped back pockets.

We asked cult-status booty beautifying James Jeans what their secret was for achieving that perfect fit. “Our darted back pockets (patent pending) are positioned at a level and angle which draws the eye upward, making the “backside” appear smaller and higher, creating an optical illusion.” says Liz Walker, director of public relations for James Jeans. She adds, “In addition to the darted back pocket, the pattern is 3-dimensionally draped on a body as opposed to the industry typical flat computer rendition.” So that’s how they do it!

Now that you are armed with all of this powerful perfect-butt denim jeans knowledge you can put away your Friday night woes. Before you head for the stores, make sure to take a look at some of our favorite butt-enhancing denim jeans (and you can get them all online as well!).
