Secrets To Finding The Right Pair Of Jeans

Story: Finding Jeans To Fit Your Body & Your Budget

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― When shopping for jeans, the Style Sisters say many women buy pairs that are too big for them – and instead of hiding their stomachs, they actually accentuate their imperfections.

The sisters say when looking for jeans, it's best to select a lower-rise, avoid tapered legs and not to buy too big.

Some other key things to keep in mind while shopping for that perfect pair include knowing how to avoid some common mistakes and finding the right cut for your body.

Top 5 Mistakes Women Make When Buying Jeans:

1. Buying jeans that are too big

2. Buying the wrong style of jean for your shape

3. Trying on only one or two pairs of jeans

4. Buying jeans that are too short

5. Not taking along a friend (or "sister"!) when trying on jeans
