4. Pay Attention to Pocket Placement

Pocket placement makes a bigger difference than most people realize. Pockets that sit higher lift the appearance of your shape. Pockets that are too big, too small, or too far apart can distort proportions. Look for pockets that align with your natural curves and sit symmetrically. A quick mirror check from all angles is worth the extra minute.

5. Choose a Wash That Fits Your Wardrobe

Denim wash determines how versatile your jeans are:

• Dark Wash: polished and easiest to dress up

• Medium Wash: classic and wearable in any season

• Light Wash: casual, relaxed, perfect for warmer months

• Black or Grey: elevated and modern
  The wash should complement your existing wardrobe so the jeans pair seamlessly with what you already own.

6. Consider Fabric Weight and Stretch

Denim with 1–2% stretch offers comfort without losing structure. Rigid 100% cotton denim softens beautifully over time but requires a break-in period. Lightweight denim is great for summer, while heavier denim feels more premium and lasts longer. Choose the weight that suits your climate and comfort preferences.

7. Don’t Fear Tailoring

Small alterations make a huge impact: hemming length, taking in the waist, or refining the leg opening. If the jeans fit you perfectly everywhere except one area, tailoring can transform them into your favourite pair.
