Overhaul Your Denim

Beware of ill-fitting jeans since they can really ruin your look. One surefire sign? There's bunching, wrinkles, or sagging in the crotch area. "You shouldn't have excess material in your crotch," say Shatonia Amee, a New York-based wardrobe stylist. "Your jeans should be able to come all the way up and lie flat in that area. If not, your jeans may be too big, or your inseam may be too long." The solution? A lower-rise jean.

Another thing to look out for: If your jeans are pulling and creasing in the crotch. "This means your jeans are too tight," says Amee. "You may want to try a fabric with more stretch. Don't be afraid to go up in size, either — remember, your main goal is comfort!"
