Hello Darlings,
” More than any other piece of clothing, jeans can show off
your figure to its best” -Victoria Beckham
I am more in love with these Victoria Beckham dVb jeans than expected. Beckham really seems to understand the female body and how to create flattering jeans, that make a woman feel feminine as they hug every curve and minimize any flaw. So I decided to revisit her book “That Extra Half an Inch” and share her suggestions to finding a perfect pair, fit, wash and style.
♥ Check the Waist Band ♥
Waist band should not be thick or heavy or it will dig painfully into hips.
Think and heavy waist bands also can can give the muffin-top look.
Check the waist band doesn’t gape at the back, to avoid a weird wind-tunnel effect.
Buy jeans cut higher at the back to avoid gaping and builder’s bottom when you sit.
♥ No Bagging ♥
Jeans that bag around the knees or bottom are a fashion disaster.
Buy jeans with some stretch, and narrow around the leg to give shape at the bottom.
♥ Get The Length Right ♥
Wearing heels, the bottom of your jeans should just skim your toes.
This will give the illusion that your legs are a couple of inches longer!
With flats, jeans should end at the tip of the shoe, just grazing the ground.
♥ Color Me Beautiful ♥
White looks fresh for summer.
Be wary as white jeans can make things look larger than they are.
Subtle powder blue and pale gray look best in skinny drainpipe or high-waisted styles.
Black jeans are great but choose cut-slim styles.
Skinny black is sexy rock’n'roll; baggy black is “roadie” and unflattering.
♥ Sizing ♥
Always try jeans before buying to make sure they fit.
And always buy the right size regardless of the number.
♥ From High Street to High Fashion ♥
I recommend buying one pair of straight-leg or boot-cut jeans and one pair of skinnies.
♥ Suggestions of What to Buy ♥
1. Great Buys
Cheap Monday / Florence and Fred / H&M / Kate Moss for Topshop/ Lee / New Look
2. Hot Labels
Acne/ Diesel / Fornarina / Miss Sixty / Notify / Serfontaine
3. Super Luxe
Chloe / dVb Jeans / McQ / Sass&Bide / Stella Mc Cartney / Superfine
“I wanted to create a denim collection that combines style and
comfort whilst looking desirably gorgeous and glamorous.”
- Victoria Beckham,21
… after a day of shopping. I felt amazing wearing them. Although the jean does have a flare to it, I love how long it makes my legs look.The jeans are the focus of attention in this simple outfit, as they added an interesting twist. I also really love the little stars on the behind pockets…

So true. A good pair of jeans go a long way. I'd gotten into the habit of buying cheap pairs that fitted ok, but not perfectly. I've realised even one good pair can just be so versatile!
those dvb jeans look great on you!
Great pair of jeans! They are so flattering and look fantastic on you. Never would have thought that dVb was a good label…!
This jeans looks great on you!!!
Perfect color of the bustier! Where is it from?
No-gape jeans are so hard to find. I was able to find it in ONE pair of Gap jeans but they don't fit me anymore (I got them 4 years ago and it seems like they don't make them like that anymore).
I think I will give dVb a try. They make you look REALLY nice!
Marta, you look so beautiful in this jeans!I have never thought that Victoria's jeans can be as good as you describe them to be. I am generaly very suspisious of any clothing lines produced by celebrities. I do have a little secret: I stopped wearing jeans 5 years ago. The reason: I could not find the perfect fit and simply gave up on the idea of finding my perfect pair. After your post I think I shoeld reconsider my decision. Thank you for the great tips and inspiration. I also loved your choices for your Vegas trip - I adore this top in nude!
those jeans were a steal! i really like the sale items you picked up!
Those jeans look perfect on you! The lil stars at the back is so adorable:)
those jeans look great on you! sadly victoria doesn't sell her jeans down here in argentina.. but anyway, we have great designers too

You look AMAZING in those jeans!
I must say this is probably the first time i've seen someone wear a pair of flared jeans and not look short.
Great photos. You look fantastic. Plus that's some useful info. Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Cheers!
Great jean tips!

Hi
I picked up Chanel mascara… it's my favorite.I strongly recommend Chanel make up, it's a pricey side but it's amazing 
Have a lovely day!
First - those jeans look great on you. Your legs look a mile long. Second- I love Victoria Beckham's book. She has great advice and is a lot more funny than I had expected her to be.
LOVE LOVE LOVE those jeans. Totally makes me want to go grab a pair. I missed your blog! and thanks for the comment forever ago

Hides flaws? YOU HAVE NO FLAWS! Sheesh!
That said, I am going to have to check these jeans out - hopefully on Ebay where they will be not so pricey. I hope they come in diff pant lengths though because I have shoooort legs.
i love those jeans!!but i have a problem
i'm from Greece, i don't know if i can purchase a pair here, so i decided to buy them online.
and here comes the problem..
i don't know my size!!!
i'm 34-36 Europian, but it seems to me that those jeans are so skinny, and i'm confused..
plz, if anyone can help me out with this!
kind regards

Hi Roula,
I'm not very good at converting sizes, I always contact customer service, tell them my measurements and my usually size and ask them to recommend me a suitable size… you can always google to see the size charts for different brands/designers. dVB jeans are very small fitting so I would definitely recommend going up a size
I am sorry for not being too helpful
Have a lovely day and thank you for your comment.
dear Marta,
i'll try to contact them, i hope they can help me out!
thanks for your time
have a nice day too!
