What exactly are boot cut jeans?

They’re neither flared nor skinny jeans, but the perfect mixture of the two. For women, boot cut jeans are fitted until the knee, then flare out a little until the hem, for men bootcut means there’s a gradual increase in looseness until the hem. In short, they’re flattering on the thighs, but don’t constrain your movement – perfect!

Do bootcut jeans look like a 70s throwback?

Unless you want to add a Jack & Jones t-shirt with your favourite band on it and look like the fifth Ramone, you can make bootcut jeans work in the twenty-first century simply by adding a sharp blazer. Of course, if you want to rock that vintage look, add a floppy hat and massive sunglasses and you can pretend you’ve just got off the plane from St Tropez.

When they can be dressed both up and down, you need to make sure you get the right pair, so when looking for your next pair of boot cut jeans, make sure you check out Stylight’s supply of denim.

Embracing the Benefits of Bootcut Jeans

Whether your curves are kickin’ or your booty is barely there, the bootcut fit is right for you. The beauty of the jean lies in its ability to flatter any figure. Let us be your guiding light for finding the jean that will flaunt your every curve.

Curvy

A bountiful bum and a dainty waist are features that define a pear shaped figure. Balance out your bottom with a pair of bootcut jeans that has a slight flare. A crisp, dark wash sans fading, will be the most flattering on your figure. Highlight your lustrous curves, while slimming your silhouette. Looking for a pair that will do a little more for your derrière? Choose a style that features larger back pockets without detailing to minimize the appearance of your backside.

Athletic

If your body is defined by narrow hips and muscular legs, you are a natural born athlete. Flatter your figure with a pair of bootcut jeans. The key to carving out a curvier shape is by creating the illusion of a contoured hip. A well-fitted pair of bootcut jeans should hug your hips and bottom and have a looser fit through the calf. To accentuate your shape, choose a pair with strong stitching to draw attention to the outline of your frame. Opt for a peplum or flared top for added accentuation.

Petite

Vertically challenged? Reach your full potential with a pair of elongating bootcut jeans. You can make your legs look like they go for miles when you invest in a pair of denim with the right features. A dark wash, with a slender cut long enough to lay over a pair of heels will add inches your silhouette. Maximize the effect when you choose a pair that is also high waisted.


With a pair of jeans that works as hard for your figure as you do, you can be sure bootcut is worth adding to your arsenal of denim jeans.
