Fit jeans - different models and their definitions

The term "fit" when applied to jeans means "silhouette".

Jeans are characterized according to three main concepts: fit, silhouette, cut of the trouser leg below the knee. To determine the style, the silhouette – “fit” – is important.

7 main jeans silhouettes, their uniqueness

Most often, when designing new models, one of seven basic styles is used. Each of them has its own characteristics and originality.

Regular (Classic) fit - classic model

Experts call the classic model of trousers Regular or Classic. These are straight-cut trousers, they are quite loose in the hips, which allows you to feel comfortable in them. But Regular jeans are not cut too loose, so they never look baggy. The universal fit has made the Regular a universal jean for everyone.

Reference! Regular is suitable for people of any body type (slim, plump, thin), of any height and age.

Relaxed fit - loose fit model

The Relaxed model looks relaxed and even a little careless on the figure. This look is achieved thanks to the loose cut, especially in the hip area. Reiaxed jeans provide everyone with a feeling of comfort and freedom.

Reference! Relaxed fit can be confidently included in your wardrobe by people of different sizes. They will especially appeal to athletic and muscular young men.

Loose (Baggy) fit - a model with an overly loose fit

Pants that are too loose from the outside look baggy. A very wide cut makes them loose everywhere: at the waist (where there is a significant margin), on the hips, along the entire length of the trouser leg. But their owners value something else: extreme comfort.

Reference! Loose - trousers mainly for young people who are passionate about the street subculture.

Slim fit - tight-fitting model

Jeans that are one of the most popular today are slim jeans. This is what they call narrow or tapered trousers. They fit the figure well and highlight all the curves of the legs. The main thing that is valued in Slim is an exact fit to the figure.

Reference! Slim can be afforded by slender boys and girls of tall or medium height.

Boyfriend fit - “male” model for girls

Women's jeans, which are very similar to men's trousers, are also fashionable. On female figures they look loose, even baggy, but only to a small extent. Another difference between the model, which should look like a man’s one, is the absence of decorative elements. The only things allowed are abrasions and torn parts.

Reference! Boyfriend - jeans for tall and thin girls. They fit well on plump, tall ladies.

Skinny fit - “second skin”

It is no coincidence that skinny is called a second skin. They are even narrower than just tapered trousers. Skinny is made of cotton with the addition of synthetics.This denim fabric stretches well. It fits the figure so tightly from the waist to the ankles that it accurately follows all the curves of the body.

Reference! Skinny will be an adornment for slender girls and boys whose figure has no flaws. Skinny is not recommended for excessively thin models: in tight jeans, their thinness will create a sickly appearance.

Jeggings fit - jeans and leggings at the same time

The trousers, called jeggings, are practically leggings made of denim. To sew them, only thin denim is used, which contains a lot of synthetic fibers. This allows you to wear them comfortably, even if you notice that you have gained a little weight. The elastic fabric stretches, and the jeggings remain in place.

Reference! Jeggins are clothes for young girls whose advantages include an ideal figure and slender legs. Jeggings will highlight these advantages.

Additional silhouettes of women's and men's jeans, their features

In addition to the seven main styles, there are many more varieties. Here are a few of the most popular silhouettes.

Straight fit - straight cut model

Straight are pants that have the same width along the entire length of the leg. It is impossible to unambiguously characterize such pants as narrow or wide. They can be narrow or wide, but the main thing is a constant diameter at the knee level and at the lower section of the trouser leg.

Bootcut fit - flared model

Flared jeans become the most popular from time to time. The name of the Bootcut silhouette means that the diameter of the leg along its lower cut will exceed the width at the knee. Flared jeans have different widths at the bottom of the knee, the specific sizes depend on the model.

Flare fit - a variation of Bootcut

Flare are also flared jeans.But unlike Bootcut, the width of the trouser leg begins to change not from the knee, but much higher - from the hip.

Carrot fit - a model combining a narrow bottom and a loose top

Carrot is also called trousers, the legs of which resemble the letter V. This is no coincidence: their top is very wide, as in Loose models, and the bottom is narrow and tight, which is typical for Skinny.

Mom fit - model “in mom’s style”

Many young women like loose jeans. Mom is one of the varieties of such trousers. According to the designers, they should give the impression of being somewhat large, even baggy. They do not hug the figure, but, on the contrary, hide it, only hinting at its slimness and grace.

Antifit - extra wide jeans

Antifit is a model that young people like. These are very wide jeans. They seem to be several sizes too big for their figure, which is why they buy them oversize. This makes the antiphytes look lowered and falling.

Tips for choosing and using different jeans silhouettes

The variety of silhouettes allows you to use jeans in any situation. There is only one condition: the choice of style must be appropriate and appropriate to the situation. The correct combination of jeans with other clothes or shoes is of no small importance.

Tips for choosing clothing for basic jeans silhouettes

Regular fit. Anything goes with these versatile jeans! Classic and sports shoes, long or short jackets, jackets, T-shirts. They do not have Classic and seasonal restrictions. They are comfortable both in the summer with a light T-shirt and in the cold season with a bulky sweater or a warm parka.

Reaxed fit. The style, which is called relaxed, is intended to be used during leisure and active recreation.They are ideally matched with low-heeled shoes, loose clothing, that is, everything that does not constrain, but gives additional relaxation.

Loose fit. Since overly wide Loose cannot be called graceful, they require a similar combination. The most suitable thing is everything that we classify as street style. Large, even rough shoes, a spacious top (T-shirt, sports jacket, sweatshirt).

Slim fit. Stylists advise combining skinny slim jeans with the same tight top. Jackets, shirts and blouses of a fitted cut, narrow T-shirts will be the most appropriate top. For shoes, it is better to choose classic high-heeled shoes, moccasins, and light sports shoes.

Boyfriend fit. Those who have chosen suitable boyfriends for themselves need to take care of the appropriate top for them. It is best to opt for a tight-fitting top (T-shirts, turtlenecks); short blouses or tops are also suitable. Boyfriends are also considered ideal for combining with clothes made in a nautical style.

Skinny fit. Skinny jeans will create a sleek look with the right top. In summer it can be a loose T-shirt, tunic, top or blouse, in cool weather - shirts, turtlenecks, jackets, cardigans. When it comes to shoes, skinnies are versatile. They can be worn with both classic and sports shoes.

Jeggins fit. For jeggings, it would be correct to choose fitted blouses or shirts, short tops, jackets, and leather jackets. Jeggings provide great flexibility in choosing footwear. Depending on the situation, these could be high-heeled shoes or sandals, moccasins or ballet shoes, as well as sports shoes.

Knowing the basic styles of jeans will allow you to make the right choice and choose the trousers that will help you look the best.
