Looking for the best jeans for curvy women? Not all jeans are cut the same. Women are usually classified into "pear," "apple" or "hourglass" shaped figures while some have thin or "boyish" figures. While a pair of super skinny low-rise jeans may look great on one woman, the same style and cut of jeans might not be flattering to the next. Curvy women can find flattering and ultra stylish jeans or trendy jeans if they know what to look for. For example, brands like PZI Jeans, CJ by Cookie Johnson Jeans and Apple Bottom Jeans are cut and designed especially for girls with curvy figures.http://curvylife.com/2009/03/19/pzi-jeans-jeans-for-curvy-women/ http://www.shapeyourstyle.com/jeans.php
