“‘I’ve concluded that 95-97 percent cotton denim jeans, i.e. “medium stretch,” are the most flattering,’ says Hughes. ‘Much less cotton than that and the denim can cling visibly to your cellulite and bag over time in the knees and bum. Any more than 97 percent and you have yourself a rigid denim and you’ll probably need to go up a size.’
Confused by clothing labels? With denim you can forget about the breakdown of elastane, polyester or nylon, Hughes says: ‘TENCEL™ and other fibers are frequently in the mix… just check the cotton count on the label and ignore the rest.'”
