Choosing classic or trendy
If you live in your jeans, classic styles like relaxed fit transfer well from year to year. If you prefer a hipper look, the must-haves for women are anything super-low. What's great about them is that because they sit on your hips, they work for many different body types. If you're a little on the shy side, try a pair of boy-cut jeans, which won't reveal as much of your mid-section.
Feeling the stretch
Another trend this season is the body-hugging jean, emphasizing a sleek and sexy look. With the renewed popularity of stretch denim this fall, there's something for everyone.The beauty of stretch is that you can wear your jeans a lot tighter without sacrificing comfort. It makes low rise jeans, for example, much easier to wear as they hug your body and don't feel as rigid - they move with you.
Singing the blues
With a large variety of washes, choosing the ideal shade for your blue jeans can be tricky. But thanks to this season's to-dye-for look, your task may be easier. "The must-have colour is simply dark with a lot of texturing," notes Clarkson. Look for inky indigos, which can be dressed down for casual wear and dressed up for a night out.
