Basic "denim" terms

Jeans are pants made of durable, tight denim. Classic jeans have five pockets - two at the front and back, as well as a small pocket in the front, but modern models often follow this rule.

Pockets on jeans

The first jeans were brought to the market by Levi Strauss, the founder of the Levi's brand.

Types of denim fabrics differ from each other - according to the method of weaving threads, processing:

  • Denim is a dense fabric made of cotton and twill threads. It was from denim that the first jeans were sewn;
  • Gin - a lightweight and cheaper version of denim with the addition of viscose or polyester;
  • Chambry is another lightweight analogue, has a cotton base and a lightweight white transverse thread;
  • Stretch is a denim fabric with the addition of elastane, which allows it to stretch.

Traditionally, jeans have black, blue, light blue or indigo, but modern models are painted in different colors - white, gray, pink, green and any other.

Cut - width

Cut - the part of jeans that determines the width of the pant from the knee - is evaluated from the kneecap to the bottom of the product. The same parameter can be called the term leg.

Width of jeans

Key figures cut:

  • Straight cut - straight jeans, with the same or slightly different width along the entire length of the pant;
  • Tapered cut – conical cut. This means that from the knee they narrow, forming a cone;
  • Boot cut – pants flared from the knee;
  • Wide leg - such trousers expand not from the knee, but from the hip and as a result to the bottom are very free.

There is also a Flare cut - the pants from the knee expand sharply and quite strongly, but modern models of jeans are rarely sewn according to this scheme.

Rise – landing

Rise is the depth of fit of jeans. The fit is determined from the center of the step seam to the waist. The center of the step seam is located at the extreme point of the groin area of the trousers.

Boarding can be:

  • High-wasted rise - high, belt above the waist line;
  • Original or Mid rise - standard with a belt of jeans, coinciding with the waist line;
  • Regular rise – medium universal landing at the level of the navel;
  • Low rise - low, with a belt below the fart, approximately at the level of the top of the pelvic bone;
  • Ultra low rise - ultra-low, the belt of jeans in which does not reach the top of the pelvic bone.

In the basic classifications, there are only three types of landing - medium, low and high, and all the others appeared as a result of the development of fashion and the imagination of designers.

Inseam - length

Inseam or Inseam length – the length of jeans along the inner seam. It is measured from the top point of the internal suture in the groin area and to the bottom of the pant.

Length of jeans

Fit – silhouette

Fit is a silhouette, the shape of jeans, although literally it means "fit, match" or even "fit", but here it is important to make an adjustment for the scope of the term.

If the cut is defined by the part from the knee to the bottom of the pant, but fit is the general shape of jeans. Since it is this indicator that helps to distinguish one fashionable model from another - in the next section we will talk about it in detail.

Types of jeans silhouettes: a complete classification

Jeans can be grouped and divided in different ways - depends on which sorting principle to take as a basis. We, in the editorial office of DRESS Magazine, start from the silhouette of women's jeans and divide all types into three main groups:
