Ladies the hunt for the perfect fitting jeans is often as elusive as the hunt for the perfect man.

Although we think we know what we want, in reality our picker can be somewhat off and we need some expert advice on what is right for us.

Helps is at hand from the Fairhill Centre, as the leading retail outlet brings us the latest 3D body scanning technology and combines it with a free body shaping and styling event.The ‘Jeanetics-It’s All In The Jeans’ event will take place on Saturday 12 from 11am-5pm and Sunday 13 March from 1 pm-5 pm.

Grainne Devine from Fairhill said, “SS16 is a massive season for denim and there is nothing more satisfying than getting a well fitting pair of jeans that will make you look and feel great. Our 3D body scanner will define everyone’s body shapecategorising them in one of five shapes. This is a free event and we encourage shoppers to come along to check out their true body measurements. So many of our stores have denim ranges from Topshop, Miss Selfridge, River Island andNext among others so you will make sure you look hot to trot this season.”

In preparation for the Jeanetics event, here are some denim do’s and don’ts to keep you in style for SS16

• Avoid over treated pairs. Ripped, whiskered (the ugly white lines across your thighs) and very worn looking are not a good look this season.

• Watch your length. A little ankle on show is a good thing; a straight pair with material bunched around the ankle is not a popular choice.

• With footwear think opposites: A slim leg benefits from a chunkier shoe (like a brogue or loafer), a stiletto only really looks modern with a boyfriend or looser cut. Skinny heels and skinny jeans is very Wag. Avoid.

• Remember is our body shape can change and the style we wore in our twenties doesn’t mean they will still suit us in our thirties. Get the right fit, rather than just going for the latest trend.

• Keep an eye on the pockets as they can make a real difference in shaping your behind.  A button down pocket will give a curvy J-Lo effect as they will ‘lift’, pocket seams that draw down into a point will give added definition and bigger pockets are also good for balancing.
