Timeless, versatile, and sturdy, jeans are an essential fashion item for people of both genders and can be found in almost any clothing store. From jeggings to boyfriend jeans, there is an endless variety of different denim styles that you can choose from, so it can be difficult to choose the style that suits you best. Luckily, fashion trends exist to help you narrow down your options. These five styles have recently grown in popularity:
1. Jeggings
Jean-leggings, or jeggings, are a hybrid of jeans and tights that are like a tight pair of jeans with a thick elastic waistband. These pants have been around for quite some time, but have recently regained popularity, especially with teens and young women. Pair them with a flowy top and boots to be more casual or wear something tight on top and some heels to show off your curves when you go out.
2. Straight fit jeans
Straight-fit jeans are popular because they offer a sleek look without being too tight. They cover more of the ankle than most skinny jeans and are often worn with heels or tall boots. They are also very comfortable and can be worn anywhere. The looser fit does mean that pairing these jeans with a flowy top can pose the danger of completely hiding your shape, so try wearing these jeans with a tighter top or a crop top, or, if you want to be more modest, tuck in or tie up a looser shirt.
3. Wide leg flare jeans
Wide leg jeans are also trendy right now and have been popping up in many stores. These jeans have wide legs and a low waistband, with an exposed zipper on the front, and are usually worn with heels or platforms. These are widely considered a very bold style of jean, so be prepared to create a bold outfit around them. However, like with straight leg jeans, it is generally important to style these pants with something shorter or tighter on top so you don’t lose your shape.
4. Boyfriend Jeans
These jeans are called boyfriend jeans because their loose fit makes the wearer look like she is wearing a pair of her boyfriend’s pants. They were initially designed for girls who wanted to look boyish, the style has more recently become mainstream and trendy for both sexes. This style is great for any girl who prefers loose-fitting clothes and enjoys comfort over fashion. It is also very popular with boys because it gives the wearer a cool, manly look.
5. High waisted jeans
High waisted jeans can be worn by any girl and looks fashionable on pretty much all body types. They usually consist of a boot cut or flare leg and have a higher waistline, often hitting at the natural waist for most women. These jeans also offer great coverage at the ankle and stomach, making them a favorite for most girls.
