Which Are The Best Maternity Jeans?

Paper Denim & Cloth’s Straight Leg Maternity Jean
For the very best in skinny maternity jeans check out Earnest Sewn’s Harlan jean – customised exclusively for maternity by PUSH and available in indigo and black. This is a super skinny and sexy jean; however it is best avoided if your thighs are on the heavy side! For those of us who fall into this category, but don’t fancy the ubiquitous bootcut, check out Paper Denim & Cloth’s straight leg maternity jean (see above), also exclusive to PUSH in the UK, or Serfontaine’s Cruiser cropped jean which can be worn with or without a turn-up.

Denim Advice - Jeans For Pear Shapes

A) Although this sounds totally mad, you should actually try some low rise jeans. If you go for something high-waisted, it could cinch you in at the waist too much and draw emphasis to your lovely legs and embrace the thighs a little too lovingly. What I would suggest is a trouser style jean. They're fabulous, and are a great casual look for Summer. J & Company have one called the Robertson Jean (see above) that sits low on the hips, skims over the bum and has a wideish leg ending in a cuff at the bottom. They're great and super flattering. They have the room in the thighs you're looking for and the style will lend you a relaxed air. (Answered by Donna Ida Thornton, owner of Donna Ida Denim Boutique in London)

Denim Advice - Jeans For Fab 40 Year Olds

A) Paige would have been at the top of my list of recommendations so I'm glad you brought her up. Both the Hollywood Hills (see above) and Hidden Hills styles would suit your body type. They're both a mid-rise jean with the Hidden Hills having a slightly higher rise than the Hollywood Hills, 9" as opposed to 8.25" - that extra three quarters of an inch counts!

Denim Advice - How To Look Taller

Q) I am 5 ft 2 in and of slim build. What jeans should I wear to make me look taller and my legs longer? (Submitted by Yogi Kong)
A) I'm 5 foot - no inches to add. I am wearing 18th Amendment's Colbert jeans (see above) at the moment - they're high waisted and have a fantastic flare that give the impression one is walking on stilts! And if you peek underneath you'll see I'm not far off in this season's huuuuuge platforms. For the first time ever I actually look tall (Answered by Donna Ida Thornton)

Zafu - Helping You Find The Perfect Jeans

Having tested the site without actually purchasing any jeans I reckon that Zafu can certainly lay claim to being the the most comprehensive jeans recommendation service available online. If you have actually used this site and bought a pair of jeans upon their suggestion please share your opinion on the quality of their recommendation on the Denimology Forums.
