Most people cannot imagine their wardrobe without jeans. Democratic clothes, thanks to the variety of models, fabrics and colors, will fit into both office and casual styles. Bootcut jeans appeared in the 90s of the last century, the model is still relevant today. With trousers of this cut, you can create everyday stylish looks.
What are they?
Jeans of this cut are often confused with flares. They have common features - this is the expansion of the lower part. However, here it is not as significant as with flares, and starts strictly from the knee. Men's bootcut jeans have a classic straight cut of the upper part to the knee, women's - tightly fit the hips. Below the knee, such trousers widen, but slightly. Outwardly, they are more reminiscent of ordinary classic straight models.
The variation was designed so that any shoe, including high ones, could be worn with it without having to tuck trousers into them. Bootcuts first appeared in the 90s of the 20th century, when low-waisted clothing was fashionable. Therefore, for a long time, jeans of this cut were sewn exclusively with a low rise. However, now they are produced with a medium, even high waist. Therefore, you can choose bootcuts for almost any figure.
A variation is a one-sided bootcut. The expansion is observed only along the inner edge, the outer edge remains absolutely straight. Such trousers fit perfectly into the office style.
How to distinguish bootcuts from flares? Flares can start from the knee or from the hip, and are noticeable. The flare on bootcuts is only from the knee, and is practically invisible to the naked eye.
Who are they suitable for?
Bootcut jeans suit almost everyone. The exception is very thin girls, owners of narrow hips, flat buttocks. The expansion of the lower part of the legs will visually make the hips even less noticeable.
Owners of a slender proportional figure, as well as curvy shapes, can safely wear bootcuts. Too wide hips will be visually balanced by the flare on the trousers, the proportions of the body will improve. This cut will hide full calves. Too large a foot size will also visually become less noticeable.
Girls with curvy shapes, extra pounds in the waist and belly area should pay attention to high or medium waist. This cut has a slight tightening effect. Low waist will suit those with a slender figure, long legs, a perfectly flat stomach, and a thin waist.
Bootcuts, like other jeans, can be made from regular thick denim or denim with the addition of elastic fibers (stretch). The former will suit slim girls, the latter – ladies with curvy shapes.
What to combine with
The laconicism of the image depends on how the jeans will be combined with other wardrobe items. For men, this is primarily a casual style. The classic image is suitable for work, leisure, and everyday life in the city. Bootcuts can be complemented with a light shirt, sweater, or jacket in this style. This cut looks great in various ethnic and informal directions.
Women's bootcut jeans fit into different looks, but you need to look at the features of each specific model:
- With a high waist - the fashion for such a fit came from the 80s of the last century. On slender girls with a thin waist, such trousers can be combined with short tops, cropped loose sweaters, T-shirts that can be tucked in. Complement the look with a braided belt that will emphasize the chiseled figure. The main task of a high waist on plump girls is to hide extra pounds, tighten the stomach, make the figure visually more graceful. Therefore, it is better to opt for sweaters, jackets that will hide the stomach area.
- With a low waist. This model is the choice of exclusively long-legged girls with an ideal figure in the abdomen and waist area. You can wear it with long T-shirts, loose shirts, loose sweaters. A stylish belt will emphasize the beautiful line of the hips.
- With a medium waist. This model is a classic of the genre. It will look great on any girl with a proportional figure. It can be complemented with cropped tops, sweaters, or, conversely, elongated ones. They will look great both with clothes tucked into them and with blouses hanging out.
For office work, it is reasonable to complete this model of jeans with jackets, shirts, blouses, pullovers. In summer, you can create a romantic image with a loose light blouse with a floral pattern and matching accessories.
In general, the choice of accessories depends on the chosen image. For example, it is reasonable to complement the casual style with long beads, an office jacket - with a brooch. If the waistline is visible and emphasized, it is necessary to use a belt.
As for shoes, the choice is wide, because bootcuts can be worn with any models. High waist, cropped top send us to the past, where sneakers are a relevant combination for such a set. Sneakers are democratic shoes that will suit some other styles.
For an office or romantic look, shoes with medium or high heels will be relevant. A summer look is unthinkable without light sandals, attractive with elegant straps. Wedges, platforms, completely flat soles - all this goes well with bootcut jeans.
In winter, jeans will have to be worn with outerwear. This should not be a problem either, because they go well with any down jackets, medium-length sheepskin coats, coats with fur collars, and jackets. Winter footwear can be either short or long-shafted. Boot-knots are comfortable to wear both over shoes and tucked into them. Rough lace-up boots with a “tractor” sole will look good in an informal look.
Tips for choosing
In order for bootcut jeans to fit your figure perfectly, highlight your advantages, hide your flaws, and last a long time, you need to approach their choice responsibly:
- It is important to choose a size that fits your figure perfectly. The model's special feature is a tight fit around the hips.
- To prevent trousers from stretching out soon after purchase, you need to pay attention to the fabric. It should be thick enough, with at least 5% elastic fibers added to the composition. Then the clothes will not lose their shape even after repeated washings. The presence of elastic threads is mandatory for models decorated with scuffs.
- It is necessary to pay attention to the quality, inspect the seams. They should be soft, not rub the skin in the area of the fit. Sticking out threads, torn seams, obvious defects - all this is unacceptable.
- The manufacturer is as important as the price: a quality wardrobe item that will bring joy for a long time simply cannot be too cheap.
Jeans are a basic item for almost any wardrobe. The bootcut model is another opportunity to choose trousers for any, even “problem” figure. And the versatility of the cut will allow you to create many images for winter, summer, office, a smart outing, a romantic date.
