Have a fantastic evening ladies X


Get a flawless bum and legs in these jeans!

Always wanted legs like Penny Lancaster? Well we can’t promise you that but we can show you a couple of tricks to make your lovely legs – look great.

Kick Flare Jeans

Kick Flare jeans are the type of jeans that flare from the knee. This type of jean is perfect for a curvy lady with a lower half that is wider than the top half or affectionately known as the pear shape. These 70’s inspired flare cut jeans are bound to be a great addition to your denim collection. The crease down the front of the jean draws attention to the center of your figure – adding length to your legs.

The bootcut jean is a fabulously flattering style for the apple shaped lady. The apple body shape means you have a large bust and an undefined waist.  Keep your eyes open for high pockets, allowing your bum to appear perkier than usual. This style of jeans stream lines the thighs – add a pair of fabulous heels to finish the look off nicely.
Great for most shapes with light shading in the middle and darker on the outside - the shading on these jeans gives your legs a shapely appearance. Our Facebook fans recently voted the straight leg as their favourite type of jean. The Wow jeans have the perfectly position pockets – giving your bum a greater curve.
