Jeans: Fit Tricks of the Stars

Jennifer Aniston in Degaine

Jennifer Aniston could be the poster girl for great jeans-theyseem to be her uniform of choice. Here she opts for a slim bootcut stylefrom Degaine. "I started this style from our skinny jeans and opened thebottom slightly to make it more casual," says Gregory Abbou, designerfor Degaine. "Jennifer is not a tall girl but she likes the bootcut lookbecause it's very casual. Bootcut jeans can make you look shorterbecause the thighs and knees are too loose, so by using a skinnier basewe are able to give the leg a better shape-it makes you looktaller and slimmer." The denim also helps make this jeanultra-flattering and wearable. "The fabric feels like a second skin,"says Abbou. "It has enough stretch to hide the little imperfections soyou can feel sexy without compromising comfort."
