The Different Levels of Loose-fit Jean

Denim is the core of most people’s closets from corporate career woman and college coeds alike, jeans are just easy. Wear them with your t-shirts or sweaters, even under your dresses if you so choose to stretch your sartorial muscles. But even with endless ways to wear them sometimes your standard skinnies and basic bootcut start to feel boring. So hit refresh on your jeans and try these new styles on for size.

The Relaxed Skinny

The butt-hugging, bodycon fit of skinny jeans is the style we’ve been lusting over for seasons now, but after meeting its bigger sister, we’re not sure we can go back. Slim but not form-fitting, these jeans are relaxed in the hip and thigh and tapered through the ankle. Take these jeans from slouchy to sophisticated when you roll the cuff and slip into a pair of pumps.

The Boyfriend

A borrowed-from-the-boys basic, the boyfriend jeans are a classic baggy fit. Hanging off your hips and loose through your legs these pants are usually rolled at the cuff. Don’t shy away from a little distressing. Not only will a few rips add edge your outfit, it will also break up the excesses of fabric for a more flattering finish. Clean these bad-boys up with another menswear inspired favorite, a blazer.

The Wide Leg

Wide legged jeans aren’t for the faint of heart, but for those who tread in this foreign territory, it can be worth the risk. Look for a pair that fits perfectly at the waist and billows out from there. This will draw the eye to the smallest part of your torso and counterbalance the bulk of bottoms. Step up the style when you choose a pair that is cropped for a tougher take on a culotte. Dress up this ostentatious denim with structured accessories like a ladylike handbag.

It’s time to loosen up and slip into a new style of denim. Thanks to the much needed extra leg room, these jeans will find a place in your wardrobe.

From slightly slouchy to big and baggy these styles take denim to new heights.
