Flattering Your “Assets”

Know Your Seat Shape

The female backside comes in all different sizes in shapes, but we’ve broken it down into four basic types: flat, average, prominent, and full.  For each seat shape you can customize your jeans to use visual tricks to your advantage, whether your goal is to minimize the booty or play up a luscious look.

Type 1- Flat Seat

For a flat seat, create the illusion of curves with prominent backside styles.  Pocket flaps are in high demand right now, and you’ve got the ideal shape to rock this fashion.  We recommend indi’s standard pocket with flaps for day-to-day classic style.  If you want achieve a sexier look, the curved pocket with flaps can round out a flat rear in a way you never imagined possible.

Type 2- Average Seat

If you have an average seat, the world of premium denim is yours to play in and the sky is the limit.  Whether your preference is for simple pockets or cutting edge embroidery, you can pull off any look.  For the no-frills chick, we recommend indi’s take on modern vintage with sanded and distressed pockets.  If you’re looking for some fabulous flair, check out the emblem embroidered pocket in your choice of four different colors.

Type 3- Prominent Seat

Be proud of your curves, and don’t be afraid to show them off!  But remember, no elaborate pocket styles are needed to draw attention to your derriere.  A standard pocket shape works best with your figure, and subtle embroidery can go far to accentuate a round seat.  Two of our favorite styles for this body type are the orchid embroidery in a two-colored scheme and the scroll embroidery in navy for those feeling flashy.

Type 4- Full Seat

Like the women who fall into the “prominent” category above, you can definitely use denim to show off a shapely feminine figure.  Still, if you’re looking to visually minimize your backside, there are a few simple rules to follow.  Remember to steer clear of pocket flaps, and always avoid curved pocket shapes.  When customizing for your body type we recommend a standard pocket shape, either plain or with subtle decoration like indi’s loop embroidery in your choice of three different color schemes.

No matter what your shape and size, the design is in your hands with indi’s customized denim.  Visit www.indidenim.com to view our entire range of style options and build the perfect jeans for your unique body type.

What about pocket placement??  That is something I never see addressed in style considerations. No options whatsoever. When you put pockets too far apart, it makes your behind look HUGE, especially on larger sizes like 12 or 14.  A little closer to the middle back seam gives a much better illusion.  Why is this not an option??

I agree - I would also love to see an option for pocket placement. I love higher pockets to make my butt look a little curiver.

I agree 100% with the above suggestions, and would like to go one step further and suggest a “no pockets” on the backside option for all womens’ styles.

I wish they would cater to more sizes… my natural waist is 22.5” but they don’t carry it. Also, my height is 5’ (which they have) but I’m 84 pounds and they don’t cater to it.

We’ve got more pocket choices on the way!  We’ll take your suggestions for pocket placement and “no pockets” into consideration for future style choices.  Thanks for the input!

I just bought my first pair of indiDenim jeans and they are everything promised. Amazing. I will never buy off the rack again and plan to buy many many more. So I hope indiDenim will have even more pocket choices on the way. I agree a no pocket option is a must, and a slit rear pocket option would also be good. I think some other options such as elephant wide or bellbottom legs, wear holes for a cool effect, belt loop options (i.e. different widths and also an option for no loops all together would be nice if it was offered. I also think an option for two differing inseam lengths would be the ultimate customization for people who need an extra quarter or half inch on one side and not the other. Thanks!
