Designer Jeans Styles

Without a doubt, picking a pair of jeans is not the easiest of tasks! Regardless of your body type, your height, your fashion and color preferences and your general clothing style, there are virtually hundreds of jeans model that can fit you and match your preferences. However, when it comes to jean styles the choice not only becomes harder but it also weighs heavily on all of the above mentioned factors.

How can the style of a pair of jeans rely on factors such as body type, height and so forth? Well, it’s pretty obvious that if you have a few extra pounds on your tummy or your behind, you’ll want to avoid the skin-tight jean styles as they will only emphasize these things you’ll want to hide. Similarly, if you’re a very tall and skinny person and you want a pair of jeans that shows off these characteristics, you won’t go for the baggy or loose types. But let’s take a closer look at some of the most important jean styles of today and give you a few tips and tricks on what to wear.

Casual Style

This style also goes by the name of “easy fit” or “relaxed fit”. Basically, a pair of jeans under this style is not very extravagant and has a rather plain, old-fashioned design that is not too tight and not too large either.

Bootcut Style

Bootcuts are specifically designed to be worn with, you guessed, boots. For this reason, they have a flare at the leg opening which has another major advantage besides the fact that it can easily fit any boot type: they create the illusion of longer legs, which is quite a bonus for women or for shorter men.

High/Low Rise

For men’s jeans, the rise doesn’t usually change a lot from model to model, but for women’s models it can vary drastically. High rise jeans can create the impression of longer legs for women and also hide out some of the shapes you don’t want pouring out of your waist. Low rise jeans are usually more of the “club type” of jeans, giving you a sexy, brave look.

Loose Style

Loose jeans are all about comfort. They might not be practical to be worn in all situations and with all shoes, but they definitely give you the most room to move around out of all jean styles.

Skinny Style

The skinny style draws its essence from retro fashion and skinny jeans require a certain body type to look good. Skinny jeans are snug tight to your legs, so a person that has thicker thighs or a larger bottom might want to stay away from these. Although extremely fashionable and sexy for both men and women, skinny jeans may be a bit uncomfortable because they offer no breathing room to your legs.

Wide Leg Style

Wide leg jeans have a snug fit around the bottom and the thighs, with a loose opening at the ankles, creating a bell-like look. Based on retro fashion, wide leg style is both daring and practical.

Saggy Style

Saggy jeans have a loose fit and are worn around the buttocks, with the underwear showing. Saggy jeans give their wearers a tough, street-look and can also be sexy with the right combination of underwear. This style has been made popular in the late 90s by hip hop fashion and gangster rap.

As you can see, there are many options to choose from, although the above-mentioned jean styles are not the only ones out there. Some of the other popular styles include: ankle jeans, baggy jeans, phat pants, slim fits, bell bottoms or carpenter jeans.
