PZI Jeans introduce styles for Curvy, Tall women

 PZI Jeans introduce styles for Curvy, Tall women

Great news in the battle for longer (and curvier fit!) jeans! Atlanta-based PZI Jeans has announced the launch of a collection of skinny jeans made just for curvy women.What’s even better is they’re making these new styles in very short and very long inseams… Jeans for real women!

PZI now offers ten different styles of Skinny Jeans that are said to be becoming all the rage of curvy fashionistas. “PZI Jeans was one of the first denim lines to develop a Skinny Jean for curvy women, we have taken it a step further to offer an entire collection of PZI Skinny Jeans, designed especially to meet the fit challenges of curvy women,” explains PZI Jeans Co-Founder and Vice President, Claire Jason.

“The industry said curvy women should never wear Skinny Jeans or they would look like an ice cream cone, so many lines did not offer a Skinny Jean for curvy women. Initially we did not offer our customer the Skinny Jean either. But, our customers kept asking for the Skinny Jean. So we started researching, studied and developed the perfect Skinny Jean for curvy women,” explains PZI.

Although PZI Jeans designers constantly follow fashion trends they do not take everything written in the media about what a curvy woman should or should not wear to heart:  “The curvy woman’s concept of her fashion style is misunderstood by a many in the fashion media, the success of our PZI Skinny Jeans is proof of this fact.”
PZI Jeans are available in sizes 4-16 with short, regular, long and extra-long inseams (up to 38 inches!) so that women short and tall can buy their jeans off the rack with no more costly alterations. PZI Jeans are available at select Macy’s Stores and over 600 retail stores in the United States and overseas with plans to expand into South America. For international customers, check out the website and give them a call and PZI will endeavour to supply any customer in any country.

The Best Jean Cuts for Your Shape

Flaunt your assets with the hottest jeans for your body type

Jeans are a staple in every woman’s wardrobe, but chances are most of your denim pieces just decorate the inside of your closet. The average woman owns ten pairs of jeans, yet only wears three on a regular basis, according to a recent Women’s Health survey. The reason: Finding a pair that fits and flatters can be harder than turning off the TV during an America's Next Top Model marathon.

Fortunately, with so many cuts and styles out there this season, there’s truly a perfect pair out there for every woman. Here, a crib sheet on finding a pair of jeans that will highlight your assets and hide your flaws better than Photoshop.
CURVY: BOOTCUT
Bootcut jeans flatter most body types, which is why pretty much every women has at least one pair hanging in her closet. Bootcut styles are especially flattering on curvy women since the slight flare at the ankle balances out volume around the butt, hip, and thigh to highlight an hourglass shape. The trick is to look for bootcut jeans with a bit of stretch to prevent bunching and gapping. While dark wash famously makes legs look long and lean, styles that have a little bit of distress—or fading—running along the front length of the leg will also do the job.
ATHLETIC: TROUSER 
As the name implies, these are cut to fit like a traditional trouser—with roomy legs and a faux cuff at the bottom. They're polished and professional—making them the most work-appropriate style of jeans out there. The roomy leg can accommodate the well-defined quads, hamstrings, and calves of an athletic-shaped bod. For maximum leg lengthening and slimming, buy them in dark rinse and hem them so they skim the floor while wearing heels.
STRAIGHT: SKINNY 
Tight from the waist to the ankle, they are pretty unforgiving for most body types. But women with straight, almost boyish body types look fabulous in them. They skim straight bods without bunching up at the knee or encasing the legs like sausages. To create the illusion of curves, look for details like whiskering (distressed creases across the thighs, which provide a hint of volume) and back flap pockets to add that extra perkiness to your butt.
PEAR: BOYFRIEND
Supremely comfortable and versatile, these have been hot for the past few seasons and look like they’re sticking around for a while. Their relaxed fit camouflages any lumps, bumps, and extra pounds, giving balance to a small upper body. Got a tight tummy? Wear them low around your hips to show it off. Though boyfriend jeans are usually distressed, avoid styles that have whiskering at the thighs—they can exaggerate the fullness of the hips and thighs.
