The holy grail of fashion, comfort and style, denim jeans are a staple in everyone's wardrobe. But there should be a manual for how to look good in jeans. Because this has never been the case, the folks at Liberty Western have just the solution for anyone who wants to look great in jeans. The Liberty Western store has been outfitting Cincinnati with the finest western wear, including riding boots, hats and cowboy belt buckles, for the last 20 years; so, when it comes to your best jeans, here’s their list for how to make sure you get the right pair.

To start you off, think:

• Pockets: For curvy girls, always begin by choosing denim with stretch in it (this rule applies to all curves). Go for a jean with flat back pockets, a high-waist in the back and low in the front and you’ve found a winner. If you have a smaller form, you can get away with all the bells, whistles and pocket flaps that you want. In fact, if you’ve been blessed with this body type, pocket flair is your friend; don’t hold back.
• Flair: Balancing out legs for men and ladies doesn’t have to be tricky. Trouser cuts for the men always look dapper, but a good boot-cut flatters nearly everybody, especially when paired with must-have cowboy boots. For women, the boot-cut should hug the knees: this will add extra stream-lined shape. 
• Style: When it comes to skinny jeans, the same knee notice and stretch appeal applies, but for a more casual look, the relaxed fit has always reigned supreme. The latest styles have taken relaxed to a new level with the slim-fit or straight-legged jean that adds the right tapering where it counts. 
• Wash: These days there are colors as far as the eye can see. For a dressier appeal, go for solid black or dark navy. But if you want a casual look, choose the classical blue wash or muted grays. 

Whatever you choose, remember that comfort comes first. You should want to stay in your jeans all day long, so do some wiggling, sitting and dancing when you’re trying them on to make sure you have the right pair.
