Woman Jeans Type
Straight cut jeans are a conservative cut that while not always the most stylish, isn’t necessarily out of style either. It’s a classic cut.
What are straight leg jeans?
The pant leg is somewhat consistent width all the way down the leg. Tighter on the thigh, slightly loose around the calf and ankle.
What are slim fit jeans?
They’re cut to fit snuggly around your thighs and butt. They loosen up a tad down the leg. They should not be confused with a skinny cut, which maintains snug fit down the entire leg.
What are skinny jeans?
While slim fit jeans are cut to the contour your butt and thighs, skinny jeans take it to the next level by being tight in butt, thighs and entire leg. They’re essentially denim stretchy pants. Both men and women wear this cut. Yes, they can be comfortable these days with the invention of stretch denim.
What are boyfriend jeans?
They’re loose, comfortable lounging jeans without entirely throwing style to the wind. They’re often a bit distressed, worn but have more give and room than skinny or slim-fit jeans.
The loose fit hangs down low on your waste and offers ample room in thighs. The leg opening may narrow a bit.
What is a flared cut jean?
It’s tight on thighs and butt but flares wide at the bottom. The flare is more pronounced than the bootcut jean. These were popular in the 1970s and were referred to as bell bottoms.
The bootcut jean has a practical application in that the bottom opening and calf area widens to accommodate boots. The boot cut isn’t necessarily as tight around butt and thighs as the flared jean.
The wide leg offers a wider cut leg from top to bottom. They are wide at the thighs and bottom.
Distressed jeans are not so much a cut as it’s referring to a style. The style is a worn look, often including rips.
Wouldn’t you know it, the mom (and dad) jean is in style. Amazing, right? The name was as unflattering as the style. Yet, ironically, now the mom jean is in style. Go figure? It’s a loose, unshapely jean cut worn for comfort. Think dockers in denim. The butt is high, the zipper / front loose, together creating an unflattering look… except style really is perception and if the high butt and the loose front are stylish, it looks good, right?
Low rise jeans have a short rise and site low on the waist. They can be a bootcut, straight leg, boyfriend, or skinny jeans. The name applies to the rise only.
A high rise cut jean has an extra rise in the seat so the pant waist sits higher up. They can be a straight leg, skinny, slim fit, etc.
Men Jeans
Boot cut jeans are considered the ideal balance between a straight and slim-cut pair of jeans. The jeans flow in a straight line to the knees but the circumference widens around the ankle area. As the name suggests, this was done to accommodate high top boots. They are also great for men who have thin body frames with slightly heavier thighs.
Regular fit: This classic jeans-style flows down in a straight line from the hip to the thigh. Regular fit jeans are mid-rise and have a large leg opening. These jeans are often worn by men who are not too slim but not too thick either.
Baggy fit: This style is usually wider in the knee and the leg opening which makes it a slightly more relaxed fit through the legs. They usually have at least a 22" leg opening. Wide leg jeans are a comfortable style that will look chic worn with flats or heels. It's also a good choice for balancing out larger hips and thighs. Trouser jeans are the dressier version of this style that can be worn to work.
Relaxed fit jeans are ideal for people who have thick thighs as it gives them a comfortable fit. It provides you with extra room around the waist. Relaxed fit jeans meaning that it prevents them from sweating a lot, which can lead to uncomfortable rashes if worn for too long.
Drop crutch: A modernized reimagined version of harem pants and sirwal, designers were pegging the junction of seams that forms the crotch on stretch fabric pants, somewhere in the mid to upper-thigh range, featuring a tapered skinny leg fitting with extra slouch around the bottom and crotch area
Slim fit: A lot of men are confused about slim fit jeans and mix them up with skinny jeans. Not too tight and not too loose, slim fit jeans were designed keeping in mind men with slender body frames. This type of jeans tapers as they flow down the leg but have more space around the thigh area. They offer both comfort and style to skinny men on whom classic jeans look too baggy. However, this style is now adopted by men of all body types.
