Straight Legged Jeans Size 16

Straight legged jeans size 16 are to viewed in much the same way as a size 10 or any other size for that matter. Plus size jeans are designed and cut exactly the same as any other size. The difference is in the size of the body that fits into them.

That said, you need to know where to look and where to buy from.

First off, bear in mind that straight legged jeans are a classic cut/fit/style. They are intended to elongate the leg, not shorten and widen it. The look you're aiming for is demonstrated by the picture below:



As you can see, the look is classy and leg lengthening. The polar opposite of chunky and wide.

Teamed with a great pair of shoes and you're onto a winner.

So, where to look? Seven7 do a great leg jean for plus size ladies. True Religion Jeans also cater to a jeans size 16. Devine Denim do a great pair that come in at under $40 - not to be sniffed at. They're also a great color, a fabulous dark blue denim.

How To Wear Straight Legged Jeans

How to wear straight legged jeans - when you're a plus size? Simple. A small heel, a good quality pair of ankle boots on your feet. Aim for black, unless you're attending a more formal outing, then you should swap your footwear for something a bit more strappy and elegant. Don't forget to match the footwear to either your top or accessories!

On the top, choose a color suiting tunic top but don't go too long. If you find a tunic that stops anywhere below your hip to mid-thigh, then leave it in the shop. Alternatively, you could aim for an empire line, one that fits to just beneath the bust-line then drops loosleyaway over the hips. Again, avoid anything that's overlong as it will only shorten the length of your leg.


The perfect tunic top.
