Let’s be honest: the search for the "perfect" pair of jeans can be frustrating. We’ve all been in that fitting room, battling denim that’s too restrictive, fabric that offers no "give," or the most infamous frustration of all: the waistband gap.
It’s that feeling of finding a pair that fits your hips, only to have a gap at the back. Or finding one that fits your waist, but feels uncomfortably tight through the thighs.
At Bella plus London, we believe finding your dream denim should be a joyful "yes!" moment, not a compromise. We’ve designed our entire denim collection with these very challenges in mind. We're here to make the search effortless.
Here are 3 insider tips from your Empathetic Stylist to find your perfect Bella jean.
The secret to a jean you’ll love all day is the fabric. Rigid, 100% cotton denim? It doesn’t move with you. But cheap stretch? It "bags out" at the knees by noon.
Our Solution: We obsessively source premium, "smart-stretch" denim. Our jeans are crafted with superior stretch and recovery. This means they sculpt and celebrate your curves while moving with you, but they always snap back to hold their shape. When browsing, look for key descriptions like "premium stretch," "sculpting fit," or "soft-touch contour."
The "waistband gap" is a design flaw, not a body flaw. It happens when jeans are cut straight, without considering curves.
Our Solution: We use "contoured waistbands." This means our patterns are specifically designed to follow the natural curve from your hip to your waist. Our high-rise jeans aren't just a style; they're engineered to sit flush against your back (no gaping!) while comfortably enhancing your silhouette. They support you, gently hold you, and never pinch.
Often, we focus only on the leg shape (like 'skinny' or 'straight'), but the rise—where the waistband sits on your body—is the true secret to denim comfort and confidence.
Our Stylist Tip: Think of the rise as the foundation of your look.
• High-Rise: This is our most-loved fit. It sits at or above your natural waist, offering beautiful support and creating a long, elegant line. It’s perfect for pairing with cropped tops or for smoothly tucking in a blouse, celebrating your silhouette without pinching.
• Mid-Rise: A classic for a reason, this style sits comfortably just below your navel. It's a versatile choice that works perfectly for everyday, effortless style.
Before you shop, take a moment to decide what feeling you're looking for. Do you want the secure, supported feeling of a high-rise, or the classic ease of a mid-rise? Understanding this preference is the key to unlocking your perfect pair.
Finding your perfect jean is possible. It’s not about changing your body; it’s about finding denim that was beautifully engineered for it.
That's the Bella plus London promise. That's Style. Beyond Size.
