Everyone has their favourite Women jeans, be it your best pair of skinnies or your most comfortable boyfriends. Whatever your style, it’s more than likely that you’ve had your favourite Women jeans for a while. After all, they’re durable and they stay stylish season after season, year after year. After wearing the same Women jeans for so long, though, you may have slipped into a styling rut, always pairing them with the same old items. Well, not anymore! Give the boring t-shirt and flip-flops a miss this season and show your favourite Women jeans some love with a styling makeover.

What is My Body Type?

Jeans are one of the best fashion investments to make. You can keep them for years and, although they may fade or rip, they’re still totally wearable. Never mind if your favourite pair is out of style at the moment, they’ll be back before you know it. Just make sure that they still flatter your figure before adding them back into your clothing rotation. To find the styles that best suit you, use your body type as a guide.

 

Pear Figure

Women with pear figures tend to have a smaller bust and larger hips/thighs, so it’s important to create balance with shapes. If you have a pear figure, avoid high-waisted Women jeans as they will be unflattering to your figure. Instead, opt for low to mid-rise Women jeans in styles such as boyfriend and cropped. These jeans will help balance your bottom half and make you look great. 

 

Tall Figure

Long legs are made for wearing Women jeans, so embrace your tall figure and rock them all season long! In general, long length jeans will look best on your long legs, so avoid cropped styles and opt for ones that finish at or past your ankles. Try mom jeans, ripped denim or flared styles to flatter your figure and show off your lean shape.

 

Hourglass Figure

If you’re lucky enough to have an hourglass figure, you’ll find that most styles of jeans look good on you. If you want to really flatter your figure, however, high-waisted mom Women jeans or skinny jeans are best. Skinny jeans will cling to the curves of your legs, highlighting your feminine shape. Mom jeans, on the other hand, will draw eyes to your defined waist.

Column Figure

Column figures have an athletic appeal but can look a little masculine if not dressed correctly. To flatter your column figure, choose styles that will create shape and curves for you. Try skinny and mom styles that feature a mid to high-rise to create waist definition. The slim fit of these styles will also help highlight the curves of your thighs, accentuating the feminine aspects of your shape.

Petite Figure

Petite figures and slender frames can often look swamped when wearing heavy-weight denim. To avoid looking like you’re drowning in Women jeans, opt for cropped, straight leg and skinny jeans. As they are shorter and tighter fitting than other styles of Women jeans, they will be better suited to flatter your figure. Also, look out for low and mid-rise styles, as high waisted styles may look awkward.

How to Wear Ripped Jeans

Ripped Women jeans are a style that everyone has tried at one point in their lives. The deliberately distressed style of denim is available in a range of cuts but always offers a similar feel. The tears, holes, and frayed edges create a messy, undone look with a dose of grunge. This season, tame your ripped jeans by pairing them with decidedly done-up pieces. The balance of polish will tone done the grunge feeling of your Women jeans and create an edgy fashion look. Wear pieces that are sleek and that offer coverage to offset the flashes of skin from your legs. A turtleneck sweater and blazer is an easy way to achieve the desired look. Finish your outfit with chic accessories, such as high heels, a clutch, and sunglasses.

How to Wear High Waisted and Mom Jeans

High waisted and Women jeans are just so wrong that they’re right. We don’t know what exactly it is, but there’s just something so stylish about those mid-blue, straight leg styles. Perhaps it’s the way they perfectly cinch the waist, creating that coveted hourglass silhouette. Or perhaps it’s the way that they elongate your legs. Whatever it is, we love them. If you love them too, wear them proudly this season. Just remember to leave the rest of your mom’s old wardrobe at home and choose stylish pieces instead. Try feminine blouses and tops in lightweight cotton and satin to add a modern and chic touch. If you’re still worried about the look is not quite right, add high heels for an instant boost of youthful style.

Different Types of Jeans for Your Body Type

Skinny Jeans

Skinny Women jeans, as the name suggests, are skin-hugging and fit you snugly. They take the shape of your legs and trace it all along. If you have lean and sexy legs that you cannot wait to flaunt, these are for you. Skinny Women jeans come in low, mid, and high rise waist cuts, all of which are usually stretchable – which makes them twice as good.

• Avoid – If you have a round or pear-shaped body

Skinny Crop

Skinny crop jeans are very similar to the regular skinny Women jeans, except they end before your shins. Some of them come with a fold that adds to the aesthetic. In terms of the design and technique, there is not much difference between these and the regular skinny Women jeans. Distressed, white, and black jeans in the skinny crop category are excellent choices.

Jeggings

Jeggings are basically your leggings in denim fabric. So, you follow the same styling pattern with jeggings as well. Wear tops that are a little below your hip if you are conscious, but you can treat them just like your super skinny Women jeans. Most women swear by them because they are incredibly comfortable and come with a waistband instead of the standard buttons system. They are also a go-to for pregnant ladies as they do not put pressure on the belly but look just as stylish. These are also great in winters for so many reasons – easy to wear with winter boots and keep you warm and comfortable. And, just like Women jeans, jeggings come in a lot of shades and colours – so, stick to darker denim tones if you are conscious about your legs.

• Suitable For – Suit all body types because they take your shape and fit well. Perfect for pregnant women.

Boot Cut

What was initially considered mommy Women jeans slowly became a hot favourite among women of all age groups? However, the new boot cut Women jeans are more tapered than the original boot cut styles, keeping in mind the millennial trends. These come with a great fit to the knees and then subtly open out past your calf muscles. You also get these in cropped format, and they flare out a little above your shins.

• Suitable For – Suit all body types because they take your body shape and fit well. Perfect for curvy women.

Flared Jeans

These jeans initially started getting popular as a nineties fashion statement, and are now back with a bang. While the boot cut Women jeans open up slowly below the knees, this style flares up – literally. They fall somewhere in between boot cut and bell-bottom style trousers.

• Suitable For – They look best on tall and curvy women, those who are pear-shaped, and round body types.
• Avoid – If you are short and curvy.

Low Rise Jeans

Low rise jeans hit us like a tsunami before you knew what was going on, low rise Women jeans and short tops were trending, like, everywhere. They look great on women with a well-defined waist because they start a little below your belly button. This style blends well with skinny, straight and super skinny design patterns. Distressed and low rise, straight cut and low rise and boyfriend Women jeans and low rise are all good choices.

Suitable For – Women who are petite have an hourglass figure or inverted triangle body type.

Avoid – If you are curvy around the midriff area or have muffin tops because they will create an unflattering bulge and work against your body type.

Boyfriend Jeans

People started calling this boyfriend Women jeans because they look like they were borrowed from him. Quite literally! However, the fit started getting better with time, and now, these are considered very stylish. From runways to the airport looks, everyone is sporting these. These give you a great fit near your waist and hip area and broaden a little bit as they move down. Boyfriend jeans or boyfriend crop jeans are both great choices for curvy women.

4 Steps to Choosing a Jean

1. Choose a Colour

Denim is available in hundreds of colour options, from shades of grey and white to iconic indigo, blue and black. On top of that, special treatments like stone washing, sanding or lasering are used to create effects like whiskers, honeycombs and stacks. Consider the following when choosing the colour:

• Dark wash: has a slimming effect and are probably the most versatile; they can be easily dressed up or dressed down.
• Light washes and greys are perfect for summer months.
• Black: is an everyday basic, great for year-round wear.

2. Choose a Fit

Fit is one of — if not the most — important elements in selecting a new pair of Women jeans. Unfortunately, there is no universal denim sizing chart, so every brand’s Women jeans will fit your body differently. Here are our recommendations on finding the best fit for you:

• High Rise: We love high-rise Women jeans for their magical ability to lengthen, flatter and balance your shape.
• Low Rise: On the more casual side, low-rise Women jeans are great if you have a smaller midsection (this will help give you the appearance of a longer torso).
• Skinny: Our most popular silhouette, because they work best on so many body types.
• Flared: Can create a balanced look, whether you’re curvy, athletic, pear-shaped or petite. A wide-legged flared jean can seriously enhance the appearance of your leg length (and that’s always a good thing).
• Straight Leg: A good option if you’re looking to balance your proportions, especially if you have curvier hips or a fuller belly.
• Girlfriend: The perfect mix of casual, cool and comfortable. They should be worn with a cuff at the bottom hem.

3. Choose a Stretch

Almost all of our female customers buy denim with some level of stretch in it, because it moves better with your body and forms more comfortably with your curves. Here’s our guide to the types of stretch we offer:

Comfort Stretch

Buy Now

Has an authentic look, with a little bit of stretch added to it for comfort. It’s used throughout our men’s collections and in our women’s collections for the Heidi, Monroe, Sally and Alex silhouettes.

Stretch

As the name indicates, this fabric has a normal level of stretch. It’s used throughout our men’s collections and in our women’s collections in the Sharp, Needle and Spray silhouettes.

Power Stretch

WOW, this fabric has super stretch capabilities! Our power stretch denim will hold its shape with extended wear; it has an amazing recovery, so it doesn’t bag out or sag over time. This fabric is mostly used in our women’s collection in skinny and super skinny silhouettes (Needle, Sharp and Spray).

Warp Denim

Warp Denim is a unique new technology used in our men’s and women’s collection. The fabric does not stretch in its horizontal weft weave, per tradition methods of making stretch denim; instead, the stretch has been added into the vertical warp weave, which allows for flexibility up-and-down. This fabric offers incredible performance and fit.

Ultimate Stretch

This new fabric has been developed in collaboration with the Candiani Denim mill and is constructed from multi-blend fibres that are typically used in the stockings industry. The fabric is not only super soft, but it has 360-degree super-stretch capabilities, with the stretch built into both the warp and the weft. In addition to incredible movement and comfort, the fabric has fantastic recovery. It has been silicone rinse washed.

4. Choose a Weight

The ounce (oz) weight of denim literally refers to how heavy the fabric is when measured per square yard. The heavier the yarn and the more densely it’s woven, the heavier the fabric becomes.

• Lightweight: below 9 oz. Often preferred for summer months, because (you guessed it!) it’s breathable and easy to move in. It doesn’t take long to break in this fabric, and it’s generally quite comfortable as it’s lighter on your legs.
• Mid-weight: 9 to 12 oz. The most common denim weight is in the mid category, as it’s best for year-round wear. Because the fabric is thicker, it’s also likely to last longer.
• Heavyweight: 13 oz or more. Almost always virgin or Japanese denim (which tends to be more for guys, but in some rare cases we also make women’s Women jeans from virgin fabric, too). You’ll have to be committed to breaking in the fabric, but it will be worth the effort.
