EVERYTHING ABOUT JEANS

These days, jeans are not just for kicking around the house or doing dirty work. Designer jeans have become hugely popular, with versatile, edgy designs that can easily transition from daytime to evening. [Paired with heels, a beaded top, or even a worn set of sneakers, your jeans can make a bold fashion statement].

For many, buying jeans can be a frustrating experience. With such a wide variety available in stores, many women do not know what to look for or where to start. 

Let’s see the different types of jeans available in the market today, jeans are chosen on the basis of cut and wash given to the fabric.

First the different cuts of jeans

 Low-Rise Jeans - Fit low on the waist, perfect for showing a slender waist.

Mid-Rise Jeans - Fit closer to the natural waist. This is the most versatile style that is good for nearly all body types.

High-Rise Jeans - Fit above the natural waist, at the base of the ribcage. Perfect for very tall, thin women.

Boot-Cut Jeans - Slim through the hips and thighs, flaring away from the calf just enough to be able to fit over boots without having a lot of excess material.

Flare Leg Jeans - Similar to boot-cut jeans, but the leg openings are even wider to give a dramatic bell shape.

Straight-Leg Jeans - Feature a more relaxed fit in the hips and thighs with legs that go straight down without tapering or flaring. Great for more voluptuous women who do not want to add bulk.

Skinny Jeans -  Skinny jeans feature snug hips and legs tightly all the way to the ankles, leaving just enough of an opening for feet to fit through

Boyfriend Jeans - Feature a loose, slouchy fit that is similar to men’s jeans.

Types of jeans you choose depends on your body type, comfort level and personal preference.

jeans are not just chosen on basis of its cut but a very important style is the kind of wash given to them. not all washes are age appropriate and trends keep changing too.

   The most common washes of jeans are:

 Stonewashed: Stonewashed jeans are light in colour and feel softer than other jeans. They are meant to look and feel broken in. This wash is achieved by tumbling the jeans with a pumice stone to soften them.

Dark: The deep indigo color of dark jeans make them the ideal jeans for a night out on the town because they are not as casual as lighter shades of denim and can easily be dressed up. Dark denim often feels thicker or stiffer than lighter shades.

Classic: Nothing remarkable is done to classic wash jeans. They are crisp, clean, and feature a moderately dark shade of blue.

Acid: Acid wash jeans feature a look that is faded with flecks of a darker shade in the material. This look was especially popular in the 1980s.

Dirty: With a slightly brown tinge, dirty wash jeans are meant to look a little grungy.

Distressed: Holes, shredding, and crinkles create the highly worn appearance of distressed jeans. They are usually a light shade of denim to look more authentically worn in, but there are also darker varieties available for those who like the distressed look but prefer a darker shade.

Are you still confused what kind of jeans will look good on you, lets make this as easy as i can 

JEANS FOR YOUR BODY TYPE

If You Have a Tummy… Select a moderate rise, which is about eight to nine inches from crotch to waist. “The waistband should hit just below your belly button, so that it will cover your stomach and rein in the problem area.

If You Have an Hourglass Figure… The curvier you are, the more you need jeans that are cut higher in the back to fit over your seat and keep you covered. To flatter hips best, choose a tapered leg instead of a skinny one

If You Have Full Hips and Thighs…  a higher rise in the back than in the front. And the front rise shouldn't be less than eight inches. “The waistband should hit at the hipbone or the belly button. This way, it won’t cut into the body at the widest spot.” To hold in and slim the thighs, opt for a rigid fabric that has no more than 2 percent stretch.

If You Have a Straight Figure… Anything goes in terms of rises and styles―this body type can get away with low-riders, high-waisted cuts, light washes, and heavily distressed treatments. But for jeans that flatter best, stick with a pair that has a slimmer, tighter fit and a waistband that runs (relatively) straight across the middle.If the waistband is curved too much, it can create unflattering spillage
