Choice of jeans

According to statistics, on average, a woman's wardrobe has 5-7 pairs of jeans. From this number, an infinite number of outputs can be made. Comfortable denim pants are a practical and always relevant version of the bottom, which does not constrain movements and is combined with any top from crop tops and light blouses to voluminous sweaters and turtlenecks.

Women's jeans

In order for the purchase to serve faithfully for several years, you will have to stay in the fitting room. It matters:

  • Size. You can not take a thing "for growth" or for the period "when I lose weight". Such jeans will settle dead weight in the closet.
  • Cloth. The tighter it is, the longer the pants will be worn.
  • Furniture. According to statistics, defective elements break at the most inopportune moment.
  • Shlevki. In case of wearing a belt, they are necessary.
  • Color. It helps to visually correct the figure.
  • Landing. The key factor in the selection of jeans, which helps to mask the shortcomings of the figure, to emphasize the advantages.
  • Silhouette and style. The choice of the ideal option depends on the type of figure.
  • Pocket size. They should match the size of the hips.
  • Label. The material and method of fixation will say a lot about the quality of the model.
  • Brand. Proven brands cannot afford to offer a product of poor quality.

Before buying, it is worth finding out what jeans are now in fashion and how and with what they are supposed to be worn. Designers do not get tired of throwing fresh ideas to replenish the wardrobe.

Basic selection parameters

Selection parameters

The size of the

The number on the tag is not everything, although the evidence cannot be neglected. Do not take jeans with a reserve or choose a pair in the hope of getting into it after a diet. Such a trick with denim does not pass, and if you manage to lose weight to the cherished sizes, then the thing may have time to become obsolete.

But to buy jeans, focusing solely on the size, also will not work. Good denim stretches when worn. Therefore, when buying, pants should sit tightly. A tight-fitting pair should be fastened only in the supine position. At the same time, already buttoned jeans should not cause discomfort.

Jeans size

How to choose jeans by shape and size? The size line of manufacturers often varies. To choose correctly, during the fitting, you need to put two fingers behind the belt from behind. If you enter calmly, then the thing fits well. Also, jeans should not flatten the buttocks, and if you sit in them, it should not seem that the fabric will crack or cut the tendons.

The exception will be straight models with a low waist, boyfriends, mom jeans. If you wear them with a belt, you can choose a size larger than you need.

A logical question, how to choose jeans online? Measure the length (along the inner seam) and width (along the upper corner of the belt) with a regular centimeter tape. It is worth being more careful - on foreign sites, the parameters are often indicated only in inches.

Cloth

High-quality steam should be dense, pleasant to the touch. A real denim has noticeable diagonal stripes - weaves of threads. The front side is darker than the underside. One hundred percent denim is difficult to find, but many brands produce models from a combination of denim and elastane (98% and 2%). Such a pair will retain its original appearance longer than others, but it will be problematic to stretch it on lush forms.

Denim

The higher the percentage of elastane in the trousers, the easier it is to move in them and the faster the thing wears out and stretches. The ideal fiber ratio is 60% cotton and 40% polyester.

In the store, you should pay attention to the tags. If it says:

  • Comfort Stretch is an almost natural denim with a minimum degree of stretching;
  • Stretch is a moderately elastic pair;
  • Power Stretch - then this is the most elastic fabric, which is distinguished by wear resistance - the best option for skinny.

The fabric of jeans should be dense enough so that the outlines of the linen are not visible through it.

Accessories

Inspecting jeans, you need to pay attention to the zipper, buttons and other elements of the accessories. Ideally, they are metal. These are distinguished by durability. Zippers should go easily, securely held in a buttoned state. There should be no chips, notches, sharp edges.

Accessories for jeans

Shlevki

These are those almost imperceptible loops in the belt that allow you to highlight the waist with a belt. Usually jeans have five loops, which is enough for maximum support. However, some brands add additional loops, for example, Wrangler - 2 more loops.

When there are few loops, the model does not seem reliable. The belt will sit poorly, without a proper fit. During the fitting, you can twitch. They must be firmly and evenly sewn.

Shlevki

Color

It is not necessary to buy pants in a blue palette from time to time. Today you can buy a couple of all shades of the rainbow. And manufacturers often use unusual techniques to obtain original color effects to decorate monochromatic models. Neutral tones are relevant for the base, but for special occasions you can treat yourself to an ultra bright pair. Do not forget that:

  • dark colors visually remove volumes;
  • light colors add volumes, but for slender girls this is the best option for the summer;
  • Universal denim color for any occasion – black.

There is an opinion that it is impossible to combine things from denim of the same color in one ensemble. For example, what to wear blonde jeans for women? You need a darker or brighter jacket. Otherwise, you will get a "Canadian tuxedo" - a monochromatic denim suit, which for several years in a row was considered an antitrend.

Color of jeans

Landing

The choice depends on the height, proportions of the figure. High landing visually stretches the legs, masks the tummy. Low waist - reduces too elongated bottom. However, this is a risky option that girls with a good figure can afford.

Fit jeans

The ideal fit is medium, when the belt is located just below the navel. This is a golden mean, suitable for any body type, forming a clear waist line.

For a long time, skinnies with a low waist were considered an exclusively sexy model. But things have changed. Today, freedom of movement, a straight or semi-adjacent style with a high or at least medium fit is in trend.

Silhouette and style

Silhouette is the main characteristic of the style, which will determine the density of the fabric adhesion to the body.

The main types of silhouettes are:

  • Skinny, tight-fitting - maximum tightness along the entire length;
  • Slim, narrow – moderate fit;
  • Regular, medium - a universal cut with a semi-fit along the entire length;
  • Relaxed, free – optimal for everyday wear with the effect of bolshevity;
  • Loose, spacious – baggy, deliberately sloppy cut.

Silhouette and style

And the style is the external shape of the product, its final cut. Most often, when creating new models, one of seven basic styles is used:

  1. Regular or Classic fit - straight cut trousers, slightly loose in the thighs. A universal model for any type of figure, regardless of age.
  2. Relaxed fit is a relaxed model of a straight cut with a sloppy fit. They look great on a pumped up sports figure.
  3. Baggy fit is an overly loose model that looks somewhat baggy. A wide cut implies excessive comfort. As a rule, this is a model for young people, members of the street fraternity.
  4. Slim fit - narrow or narrowed trousers that emphasize the curves of the legs and pelvis. "Slims" should sit clearly on the figure. This is a model to demonstrate the beauty of slender legs.
  5. Boyfriend fit - women's jeans, reminiscent of a thing from the boyfriend's closet. They look free, they hang. They do not have active décor. Best of all sit on tall and thin girls.
  6. Skinny fit - the model fits like a second skin. Such jeans are sewn from a combination of cotton and synthetics, which allows the canvas to stretch well on the figure. The model will decorate girls with a chiseled figure, but can emphasize all the shortcomings of overweight or too thin.
  7. Jeggings fit is a combination of leggings and jeans, sewn from thin denim with the addition of synthetic fibers. Jeggins fit even more tightly than ordinary skinnies.

Women's jeans

In addition to the seven basic ones, there are additional styles:

  • Straight fit - straight cut trousers with the same width along the entire length;
  • Bootcut fit - flared jeans - the diameter of the bottom cut is greater than the width at the knee;
  • Flare fit - a kind of Bootcut - the width of the pant changes not from the knee, but from the hip;
  • Carrot fit - pants resembling the letter V - wide top and narrow tight bottom;
  • Mom fit - loose, slightly baggy jeans that gently mask the flaws of the figure, focusing on slimness and grace;
  • Antifit - very wide jeans with a somewhat lowered falling fit.

Fashionable jeans

Which jeans are the coolest? In 2021, fashionable jeans with a semi-fit, freedom between the fabric and the body. But for a harmonious image, they need to be skillfully stylized so that the image is stylish, and not formless.

Stylists often recommend certain types of women's jeans for different types of figures, but when buying, the priority should be your own feelings. Not only to look spectacular, but also to feel good.

So, skinnies can afford not only slender women. It is worth considering the rules of choice - to choose a model of suitable length, color and fit, as the figure will noticeably transform.

Often girls confuse similar styles. For example, what is the difference between Moma jeans and boyfriends. With all the similarities, they are diametrically different. Moms do not hang on the figure, but just sit freely. They always have a high waist, and their pants are shorter than their boyfriends. Boyfriends have a cut for boyish parameters with a lot of free space in the groin area.

How to choose

How to choose jeans "mom"? We need to remember the key points:

  • the model should sit freely, not constrain movements, but the seam below the lock should not hang;
  • the length should not hide the ankle;
  • there can be no horizontal folds at the back.
Moms are the best option for those who do not know which jeans to choose for wide hips. They visually slim and remove excess volumes. Also, the owners of curvy forms will go straight and flared models, as well as palazzo trousers made of soft denim.

Pocket size

The back pockets should correspond to the parameters of the figure. Girls with full hips do not need to choose a model with small pockets. This will only emphasize the splendor of the forms. But thin women are contraindicated in large pockets - they will visually make the hips even narrower.

The distance between the pockets also matters. The larger it is, the more visually enlarged the hips.

Pocket size

Label

The label or patch on the outside can be made of fabric or leather. If it has embroidery or embossing on it, this is a sign of high quality things. It is important to pay attention to the method of fixation. If the label is firmly and evenly sewn - then there is no doubt about the originality of the jeans. If the seam is interrupted, the stitching is crooked or the tag is completely planted on the glue, then there are no quality guarantees.

Inside, too, there should be a label, the color of which can determine how quickly jeans are watered. Only pure white color is allowed. All other shades indicate that molting will begin with the first wash.

Brand

And where is it better to buy jeans? If you choose, at least, for several seasons, then you can look at expensive luxury brands.

Top 4 most popular jean brands in the world:

  • Lee – trousers of impeccable cut with high quality tailoring;
  • Montana is an ageless classic of the 80s;
  • Wrangler – simple, elegant and most comfortable jeans;
  • Levi's is an unsurpassed quality from the creator of the world's first jeans.

Selection mistakes

And the most attentive girls make annoying mistakes when buying a new trouser pair:

  • Forget that denim stretches. To avoid a mistake is simple - just try on the pair you like and spin around in front of the mirror for a couple of minutes, trying to sit down or squat.
  • Choose too narrow thin white jeans. Such a model can shine through, demonstrate the defects of the figure. A straight and free cut looks more advantageous, as well as a dense fabric.
  • Choose the usual model. Convenience is not the only factor of choice. Sometimes it is worth making "forays" into uncharted areas and trying on pants of unusual color, cut or style. So you can find the perfect jeans of your dreams.
  • We go shopping after a hearty lunch. This is permissible only when choosing wide and free models. But picking up skinni on a full stomach is not an easy task. Perhaps in the morning the purchase will be too big.

The main mistakes when choosing

You can not go to the store in a state of stress or strong excitement.
