Understand the Cuts and Washes of Women's Jeans

Understand the Cuts and Washes of Women's Jeans

Women's jeans come in a number of distinct cuts and washes. Figure out which are right for you before selecting the perfect pair of jeans.

• Low-rise jeans: Low-rise jeans sit low on the waist, providing the perfect opportunity to show off those abs. There is also ultra low-rise jeans which sit extremely low on the waist for the ultimate low-rise look.

• Bootcut jeans: Loose through the leg and slightly flared at the leg opening, bootcut jeans are universally flattering for any body type, especially for those with curves. They look great with both boots and heels and have become a wardrobe staple for fall and winter.

• Flared leg jeans: Fun and funky flared leg jeans feature a wider, more flared opening at the leg compared to bootcut jeans which helps to elongate the legs and balance out heavy thighs.

• Skinny leg jeans: Skinny leg jeans are fitted all the way down to the ankles. Also known as cigarette jeans, the slender cut adds curves to the hips and behind hence making this ideal for those with boyish figures. Wear them with stiletto heels or tucked into a pair of boots.

• Stonewashed jeans: Stonewashed jeans have a lighter, more broken-in appearance.

• Dark jeans: The deep indigo colour of dark jeans looks dressier in comparison with lighter washes therefore making them the ideal jeans for a night out on the town. The darker wash also makes the jeans more flattering as it has a slimming effect.

• Distressed jeans: Holes, shredding, and crinkles create the highly worn appearance of distressed jeans.

Select the Right Jeans for Your Body Type

Select the Right Jeans for Your Body Type

With so many designer jeans on the market such as Seven For All Mankind jeans, Diesel jeans, Levi's jeans and Paper Denim & Cloth jeans, it’s important to do some research beforehand so you can select the right pair of jeans for your body type.

• Slim body types: Slimmer body types look great in a variety of jeans. Look for straight cut jeans that end with a slight flare at the leg opening. Low-rise jeans with a high back and lower front are another good choice. Choose jeans that are more fitted around the waist and backside if you prefer a snug fit. Some popular choices include the Bootcut Stretch, A Pocket and Flynt jeans from Seven for All Mankind, as well as Paper Denim & Cloth jeans and Levi's jeans.

• Curvy body types: Jeans that run straight from the hips through the knee with a slight or more generous flare at the leg opening are great for accentuating your curves. A wide bootleg silhouette is also flattering. Consider either distressed jeans from Miss Sixty, or ultra dark jeans from Guess or Citizens of Humanity that flatter your curvy figure.

• Athletic body types: If you have athletic legs and narrow hips, consider low-rise jeans with a contoured waistband. Go for skinny leg jeans if you want to give the appearance of wider hips and a fuller backside. Legs that taper out to a graceful and generous bootcut are also flattering without giving you the retro bell bottom look. For athletic types, consider Diesel or Paper Denim & Cloth jeans.

• Full figured body types: Choose a traditional five pocket style jean that isn’t too tight and has a little give. Many jeans from Levi’s, or Lee are woven with spandex, which allows them to stretch nicely to your frame. Seven for All Mankind stretch jeans are also hugely popular. The denim is made out of 98 percent cotton and 2 percent Lycra, which makes the jeans fitted without being too snug thus resulting in a slimmer, taller appearance. A slight flare at the leg opening, such as a bootcut, will also help to make your legs look longer as well as balance a wider or fuller figure. Dark washes have a naturally slimming effect so you should always opt for them rather than lighter washes.

Measure Yourself for the Perfect Fitting Jeans

Measure Yourself for the Perfect Fitting Jeans

When buying jeans, it’s all about the fit. To get the best fit, you’ll need to measure yourself correctly.

• Measure your waist and hips with the measuring tape a bit loose.

• To get your inseam, take a pair of pants that fit well and measure from the crotch down.

• Refer to the seller’s sizing chart to see which size is best for you.

Remember, despite sizing charts, some brands will run smaller than others. Sizing can also differ between different cuts for the same brand. For example, with Seven for All Mankind, the A Pocket jeans tend to run smaller than the Bootcut jeans so you might have to go a size up. If you are unsure of which size to get, it’s always best to ask the seller for actual measurements.
