Is there anything more classic than a pair of jeans? We didn’t think so! Aside from being the most versatile piece of clothing in the fashion industry, jeans are also considered to be the most flattering as well. That’s because of their ability to conform to your curves and accentuate them perfectly.
In fact, there’s a trick that helps ensure the perfect fit every time–it’s the yoke trick!
The yoke is the patch on the back of your jeans right under your waistband and above the pockets. According to Refinery29, “[The yoke is] the triangular, V-shaped seam below the waistband that gives curve and shape to the butt area. Depending on how straight or short the yoke is determines how the jeans will fit your derriere.”
Good to know! Style experts say that jeans that feature soft V-shaped yokes are typically the most flattering.
