Boot Cut
Boot cut jeans are often mistaken for flared jeans. These jeans allow you to showcase your boots or even sneakers with their slight flare. They're slightly flared to make room for chunkier shoes, but not as extreme as bell bottoms.
Bell Bottoms & Flared Fit

Modern designs don’t make it seem like you just popped out of the 70s show, it is refined and has minimal flare, which means it is elegant enough to wear to the office on casual day and not just saved for the weekend. Push styling limits and opt for various washed out effects.
Straight Leg Fit

2. Rise To The Occasion.
Where the pair of jeans sits, depends on what comfort level and overall look you want to achieve.
Low Rise
For those who prefer a low-rise look, these jeans are designed to sit below the navel or belly button and hug the waist. They typically sit 2 inches or more below the navel, but can be even lower for a bolder look.
Mid Rise
Mid-rise jeans sit just below the navel, making them the most popular rise for a range of styles. This fit is flattering for most body shapes and offers a classic waistline hug.
High Rise
High-rise jeans sits at the navel level and above navel. Jeans that sit high up give a more sophisticated look. Made for those seeking an elongated look, making you appear taller even, enhancing posture and style.
3. Length Of Jeans.
Length matters. At what length will you go? Depends on the occasion.
Full Length
Sometimes called the regular length type. These cover the ankle completely, skimming tops of shoes.
Ankle Length

Cropped Length
Hems sit above the top of ankle bone and can be up to 6 inches above ankle bone and usually shorter than ankle length jeans. More of a casual style.
4. Types of Denim Washes.
Raw denim, also known as unwashed or untreated denim, is the most authentic version of this material. Its dark indigo color and stiff texture will gradually soften and develop unique fades and creases that reflect the wearer's lifestyle and body. To alter the appearance of raw denim, different washes such as stonewash, acid wash, rinse wash, bleach wash, and enzyme wash can be used. Read on to learn more about how these washes can accelerate the aging process of denim.
Stonewash Denim
The stonewashing process involves using pumice stones to soften and fade the denim, creating a worn-in appearance. This technique gained popularity in the 1980s and continues to give denim a casual, vintage look.
Bleach Wash Denim
To achieve a sun-kissed summer vibe, the bleach wash treatment is the perfect option, utilizing bleach to create a light and bright finish. Bleached denim is available in various shades, including pale ice blue and crisp white.
Enzyme Wash Denim
Enzyme washing is an eco-friendly process that breaks down denim fibers using natural enzymes. This results in a soft, slightly faded finish that is gentler on the fabric compared to chemical treatments. The end result is a comfortable, lived-in feel.
Acid Wash Denim
This process involves treating denim with chlorine and other chemicals, resulting in a bold and edgy mottled and marbled effect. It is often associated with the rock and punk scenes of the 80s and 90s.
Rinse Wash Denim
Rinse wash denim is minimally treated with gentle agitation techniques. This denim is given a polished yet subdued appearance, maintaining the raw, authentic look of traditional denim. Perfect for minimalist fashion.
5. Choosing Denim Shades.
In addition to washing techniques there’s a spectrum of shades you can choose.
Light Wash
The light wash shade comes faded and softer, giving off a fresh and playful summer vibe. Perfect for a laid-back and casual outfit.
Medium Wash
The medium wash is an incredibly adaptable color that is perfect for any occasion. Its hue falls between light and dark, creating a well-balanced and timeless look that can be worn in a variety of settings.
Raw & Dark Wash
A deep, inky color that adds sophistication to any outfit, suitable for those more special occasions. Elevate your style whether you're wearing jeans or a denim jacket, with this dark wash. For a polished and put-together look, go with the dark wash.
Colored Denim
We’re referring to uniform colors like black jeans, grey jeans, white jeans, tan jeans and many other hued jeans. These are timeless, sophisticated and refined. Breathe newness into your denim collection. It’s important to always read and follow the care instructions to upkeep its vibrancy.
6. Finishing Touches.
Now that we’ve looked at type of wash and spectrum of color, there’s the finishing touches that gives it extra personality and edge.
Whiskering
Observe the intentional creases and lines typically found in the upper portion (front pocket and thigh area) of quality denim. These are created using whiskering techniques to achieve a worn, lived-in appearance. This method mimics the natural wear patterns that develop over time. With every sit, walk, and movement, the denim will form creases and break lines in the areas where pressure and friction occur most frequently.
Ripped & Distressing Techniques
The distressed look, characterized by rips, tears, and frayed edges, can be achieved through different methods such as manual ripping, laser distressing, and enzyme washing. This technique creates a grungy and edgy lived-in effect.
Sandblasting
Abrasive materials are intentionally propelled at high speed to surface of the denim to create a highly faded, lightly grazed and distressed look.
Hand Sanded
This denim technique involves using sandpaper to create a faded, worn look. It offers precise control over the placement and intensity of distressing for a more customized effect.
