Rihanna’s Rise Not Right

You always need to be careful of the rise of your trousers – that’s the bit that goes from your crotch to your waist.  If it’s unflattering like the rise of these jeans (on the left) on Rihanna, it draws attention to the crotch, and for most of us, this is probably the place we’d like the focus of our clothing to be.

The jeans on the right are better, yes when you walk you’ll get some creasing, but when you are standing straight on to a mirror, the front of the trousers/jeans should sit flat with no pulls or horizontal lines.

Beware the Belt Rihanna!

Although Rihanna can pull this look off, this is another no-go for those who worry about the size of their hips.  Putting a feature belt, like this one around your widest part, will draw attention to it and make it look bigger.  If you need to wear a belt to keep your pants up, make sure it blends with your clothes so it doesn’t draw attention to itself. 

You have been warned.
