Jeans are thick trousers made of cotton material with riveted fasteners at the seam joints. At the beginning of the last century, this garment was made of hemp canvas produced in England or America. With the beginning of the "denim revolution" (in the 1960s), it was no longer used.
Today, such a wardrobe item as classic women's jeans is available to most representatives of the fair sex. For many decades, they have remained at the peak of popularity. This irreplaceable thing is so universal that both newborn babies and elderly ladies wear it.
How should you sit?
Classic jeans include straight or slightly tapered at the bottom, with a standard or slightly high waist. Despite the apparent insignificance, visual perception depends on these nuances. Trousers should not tighten the hips: classics do not fit very tightly to the body. Most women know that there are three main body types:
- "Apple" - quite a wide waist, broad shoulders, narrow hips;
- "Pear" - poorly developed shoulder girdle, thin waist, full hips;
- "Hourglass" - shoulders and hips are in harmony with each other, the waist is thin.
This is the classification that should be followed when choosing a product in a store. Straight trousers look better on those with an “apple” shape, as tapered ones can draw attention to the abdominal area. Jeans with a slightly high waist are suitable for “pears”, and it is good to wear a fluffy blouse or a loose-fitting women's shirt with them under the tuck - this way the look will be more harmonious. Lucky women who are lucky enough to have an “hourglass” waist will suit any variation of classic women's jeans.
Girls and women of short stature and stocky build should be careful with a high waistline. When choosing this option, the silhouette is divided into two parts, which can distort the actual proportions. Here, you can recommend buying jeans that are a little longer than usual and wearing them with a shirt or a loose knitted sweater. Low waists should be avoided by girls and women who do not have long enough legs. Such clothes will make them visually even shorter, and the trousers will highlight every extra centimeter on the waist and hips.
What length should it be?
The length of jeans is determined by the inner seam: from the ankle to the joint at the top. The optimal parameter for classics is to the middle of the protruding "bone" or slightly lower. However, this is a matter of taste: everything depends on the style that a woman adheres to. Trousers that are worn with shoes should reach the middle of the heel: this is an immutable rule. In this case, they can only be straight. If you plan to wear jeans with sneakers, trainers, moccasins, the length should be to the ankle: the lower edge of the leg can touch the shoe or not reach it a little.
Before buying, you should definitely try on the item, and evaluate whether the trousers fit not only standing at full height, but also squatting or sitting on a chair. If you miss the length of the jeans, it may turn out that the legs will ride up when sitting.
It is better to buy slightly longer trousers, which can then be folded up or, which is very fashionable now, rolled up to the desired length. However, many fashion designers believe that the presence of a small fold on the ankle is a distinctive feature of jeans. This is the main highlight of this item of clothing.
Colors
Most people, hearing the word "jeans", will imagine a product of a blue-light blue color. This is not surprising: it is considered the main and most popular. The first dye used to give color to this item of clothing was indigo. Currently, classic blue jeans make up about 80% of the products presented on the market. In office style, the following shades are also allowed:
- Dark blue;
- Light blue;
- Gray-blue.
However, modern fashionistas wear items of the most unimaginable color variations: pink, green, yellow, red. At the same time, such trousers can have a classic style. Bright multi-colored jeans have long ceased to be clothes only for small children and teenagers. They can be worn on weekends and on vacation, when you want to take a break from the routine of everyday life and create a festive mood:
- Products with all kinds of patterns and embroidery look impressive;
- A touch of charm is added to the look by jeans with a metallic effect;
- Trousers sewn using multi-colored threads are also stylish and original.
The intensity of the color of any product decreases over time, with colors fading from wash to wash. Jeans stand apart in this case: they still remain in the wardrobe and continue to be worn.
A characteristic feature of jeans is the presence of "scuffs" of varying intensity. They create the effect of aged fabric, their presence is relevant only on a dark background. When sewing classics, scuffs are used moderately, and sometimes not used at all.
What to combine with
The top that women wearing classic jeans should choose depends on their color and the planned event. Blue and gray pants worn to the office go great with chiffon or silk light blouses, cardigans, jackets. In this case, the emphasis will be on them, and classic jeans will serve only as the basis for the image. It is appropriate to use costume jewelry, gold and silver jewelry.
If you choose bright trousers, the outer garment should be of calm colours, preferably monochromatic. Since jeans of non-standard shades are worn mainly for leisure, they can be combined with a top, a T-shirt, and in colder seasons – with knitwear. It is better to avoid gold and silver. Jewelry made of leather, beads, wooden beads, and coloured plastic will perfectly suit the image.
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of footwear. For example, classic pumps go better with satin or semi-woolen fabric, while stiletto heels, platform sandals, sandals, and sports sneakers look stylish with denim. Owners of long, slender legs should choose low or medium heels so as not to disturb the proportions of the figure. The color of the shoes should match the top; you should not match them to jeans: this will look tasteless. The look can be completed with a colored scarf or a scarf in the same color scheme as the bottom.
Popular fashion magazines suggest what to wear with women's classic jeans. Stylists unanimously claim that this item can be worn in a variety of styles - business style, romantic, in a "casual" look, avant-garde ensembles. You just need to follow a few simple rules:
- It is not recommended to wear a multi-colored top with ripped jeans: one thing in the image should attract attention;
- It is better not to combine classics with a loose-fitting top that is mid-thigh length: the figure will appear bulky;
- Owners of large feet should avoid wearing skinny jeans with ballet flats or shoes without heels: this will visually enlarge the foot even more.
You can wear jeans with a beautiful belt, the color and texture of which should depend on the overall look. Only girls with a rounded belly should avoid them, so as not to draw attention to the flaws of the figure. And, of course, when choosing clothing items, you need to pay attention to the compatibility of colors. Green with red or yellow with purple are unlikely to delight others. Classic blue or light blue trousers are perhaps an exception: they can be combined with absolutely any other color.
Almost every woman has at least one pair of jeans in her wardrobe. The classic style is the most versatile, such trousers are elegant and functional at the same time. Thanks to them, you can correct your figure, emphasizing its advantages and masking imperfections. The main thing is to choose a product of the right size and correctly select accessories for it.
