Types of Ladies Jeans

Purchasing the perfect pair of jeans can be quite the chore for a woman. With so many styles to choose from, it's easy to get confused and frustrated when shopping for ladies jeans.

Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are slim-fitting jeans that taper all the way down the leg. Unfortunately, they flatter only thin women.

Flares

Flares fit snugly at the waist and leg but open wider at the ankle. These jeans flatter nearly every body type.

Capris

Capri jeans may fit snugly or loosely and are cut short right below the knee. They can be dressed up or down, while remaining cool and casual.

Straight-Leg Jeans

Straight-leg jeans are cut straight down the leg, with a slim fit that looks best on thinner frames. However, there are more loosely cut straight-leg jeans that complement most body types.

Bell Bottoms

Cut straight down to the knee, bell bottoms then expand into wide bell shapes at the bottoms. Not to be confused with flares, bell bottoms are generally the widest jeans at the ankle, nearly covering up the feet.

Boot-Cut Jeans

Similar to flares and bell-bottoms, boot-cut jeans are wider below the knee. However, they are just wide enough to slip over a pair of boots. Despite their name, boot-cut jeans may be worn with all types of shoes.
