can't look like you're poured into them. >> is the flair look back in fashion? >> it goes in and out but if it works for your body type keep that in consideration. you have to consider fabric. fabric is important. it has to be substantial. it has to have stretch for comfort but it has to suck you in. there's jeans out there that has shape in. the miracle suit is one type. we kept in dark because dark is slimming but if you want to wear a color you can go with a rich like a navy or burgandy. >> looking good. let's bring out travis who tragically has flat butt. >> travis thinks he has a flat butt. i don't necessarily agree with him. >> but the jeans are making him have a flat butt. >> these jeans are fixing his flat butt problem. >> if you think that that's a problem, it's all about the pocket. you want a pocket that's going to fit a little higher.
