How to choose jeans

Jeans are the most popular element of any wardrobe. With their help you can create both a classic and casual outfit. For comfortable wear and a stylish appearance, it is important to choose the right denim trousers: they should fit comfortably on your figure, hide all flaws, and correctly highlight your advantages. We have compiled a small cheat sheet on how to choose jeans for a girl or a man.

Basic Concepts

When choosing, it is important to decide in advance on three main points: silhouette, fit and cut. Manufacturers offer a wide range of models; products differ not only in length and color.

Silhouette:

1. Skinnies are currently the most popular option. They fit tightly around the legs, visually lengthening them. It should be noted that this silhouette of jeans emphasizes imperfections on the hips, so it is not suitable for ladies with appetizing shapes.
2. A timeless classic suitable for any body type. The style cleverly hides flaws in the hip area and helps emphasize the waist.Not suitable for thin girls, as it can unnecessarily emphasize thinness.
3. Boyfriends will hide leg imperfections and emphasize the waist. Not suitable for petite girls.

Landing:

• the classic one hides imperfections in the waist area, while at the same time making it expressionless;
• high shapes and emphasizes the waist area, visually lengthens the legs;
• The low waist accentuates the tummy area and accentuates the abs.

Leg cut below the knee:

1. Tapered ones round the hips and emphasize the waist area.
2. Straight ones help correct imperfections in the shape of the legs and hide curvy calves.
3. The flare from the knee helps to create a proportional silhouette and visually reduces the volume in the chest.
4. The thigh flare hides imperfections in the hips and calves and creates an attractive thigh line.

Types of denim fabric

The type of fabric used plays an important role in the quality, appearance and price of the product:

1. Denim is the most popular and most expensive option. It is distinguished by the interweaving of two cotton fibers, resulting in a familiar product: dyed on one side and white on the other.
2. Broken twill is distinguished by its characteristic herringbone weave. The material is dense and has high wear resistance.
3. Stretch is an elastic, stretchy fabric. The composition contains elastane, which makes the material so elastic. This quality is the main advantage of the material, since stretch jeans can be chosen to suit any figure.
4. Gin is an inexpensive option and is distinguished by the low quality of cotton used. Manufacturers use gin to make budget jeans.
5. Chambry is a thin cotton texture that resembles regular denim in appearance. Used to create summer items: trousers, blouses, dresses.This demand is due to the low density of the fabric and good air circulation.

Addition: the quality of the material also depends on the cotton raw material used in its creation.

How to choose women's jeans

Choosing wardrobe items is a difficult and tedious process for every girl. Jeans are a universal model and can be found in any closet. When purchasing, you should consider several rules at once in order to make an intelligent and stylish choice.

A woman's body type is a key factor in many ways. An incorrectly chosen style will show all the flaws and imperfections of the body, and also ruin the image.

“Hourglass” is distinguished by the same width of shoulders and hips, but a pronounced waistline. Owners of this figure are recommended to choose loose-fitting, classic, high-waist jeans. Pants with flares from the knee will help emphasize the roundness of the hips.

Girls with a pear-shaped figure stand out with their voluminous, appetizing hips and narrow shoulder line. With such a figure, it is recommended to select styles that visually align the silhouette. These could be thigh flares or voluminous banana jeans.

Help: stylists advise paying special attention to pajama-cut products made from light fabric.

The apple body type is considered one of the most difficult when choosing a wardrobe. Slender legs are complemented by a neat shoulder line, but a complete lack of waist. Stylists advise choosing high-waist jeans to highlight the tummy area.

With a triangle figure, wide shoulders are combined with narrow hips. Jeans or trousers should balance the upper and lower parts of the body, make them proportional and hide imperfections. Optimal choice: flares, loose-fitting bananas, boyfriends.

Tip: Eliminate vertical striped trousers and skirts from your wardrobe. This ornament enhances the imbalance of the figure.

The “rectangle” figure has equal proportions of shoulders, hips and waist, slender legs make it especially attractive. The main hit for “rectangles” is skinny. Cropped jeans and boyfriend jeans are also suitable. You should avoid flares and low rise.

Landing

The fit is selected in accordance with the characteristics of the figure and height. For example, an oversized version is suitable for petite girls, which will help visually lengthen the legs and make the figure slimmer. Ladies with a full belly can hide extra pounds with a high waist, adjusting the bottom with flares.

Medium is a universal option. Suitable for any representative of the fair sex, regardless of height or figure. The main thing in creating an outfit is a well-chosen top and accessories.

Girls with a neat waist, chiseled hips and a flat tummy have become lovers of low-rise styles. The selection of tops should be approached with special care so that the outfit does not turn out vulgar and provocative. Attention is also paid to underwear: in order not to be branded as a girl of easy virtue, a competent selection will be required.

Sizes are most often indicated according to the European system. For an accurate calculation, you should add 16 to the indicated waist circumference (W). You will get the figure we are used to.

Size range:

· 30 for girls with height from 162 cm to 170 cm;

· 32 from 170 cm to 178 cm;

· 34 from 178 to 186 cm;

· 36 - over 186 cm.

Note: denim tends to stretch during use, and after washing it shrinks. Buy jeans that, when tried on, fit tightly around your legs and waist, causing slight discomfort.

Length

The right length can transform any figure. Fashion designers distinguish 3 main varieties.

Classic fits any figure and any height. It is important to note that the trouser legs should not gather like an accordion at the ankle, so as not to look tasteless.

Flared jeans are different in length to the middle of the heel. Not suitable for fashionistas with a rectangle body type. Visually lengthen the legs and reduce the volume of the hips.

7/8 is a popular youth option. “Hourglass” or “rectangle” girls with such lengths of products can highlight the beauty of their ankles and legs in general. When choosing jeans, you should avoid shoes with straps.

How to choose men's jeans

Choosing the male version is somewhat simpler. Young people pay attention to 2 points: fit and cut. Additional qualities, such as colors or the presence of decor, are of a secondary nature.

The cut is divided into three types: straight, flared, tapered.

• straight cut tapers slightly from the knee, follows the shape of the leg;
• tapered cut - jeans taper at the bottom;
• boot cut flare from the knee.

Tip: Boot cut will be appreciated by lovers of cowboy style.

The fit determines the style of the product itself. The men's market is also diverse, allowing you to choose jeans for every style and occasion.

• regular classic version with straight cut and classic fit;
• relaxedfit has a loose fit and a fit shifted to the hips;
• loose are distinguished by a baggy style and most often a low rise;
• tapered cut narrowed downwards. You should choose the length wisely so that the trouser legs do not bunch up over the shoes.

What to pay attention to

1. Pay attention to the availability of additional fittings. Rhinestones, sequins, and embroidery will look inappropriate on girls with full legs.
2. Consider the season of use.Summer versions of jeans are made from lightweight fabric. Winter ones are additionally insulated with a layer of fleece or fleece.
3. In order for the product to last for more than one season, you will need to pay attention not only to the appearance and color. Size, style and convenience when trying on are no less important.

Jeans have evolved from workwear to an essential attribute of every wardrobe. Fashion designers offer a wide variety of models, colors and styles, so you can find the right option. A few tips will help you choose the right jeans.
