Jeans come in many different styles. While some of them have narrow and straight legs, others have wide legs. Known as wide-leg jeans, they’ve become a popular choice among fashion-conscious women. Wide-leg jeans are comfortable, stylish and long-lasting. Unless you’ve worn them in the past, though, you might be wondering how wide-leg jeans differ from other denim styles. An Introduction to Wide-Leg Jeans Wide-leg jeans are denim trousers that are designed to fit loosely in the legs. They don’t run straight through the legs, nor do they become narrower through the legs. Wide-leg jeans have a tapered design in which they become baggier towards the bottom. Although there’s no universal definition for the term, jeans are typically considered wide-leg if they measure at least 20 inches in the hem. To find this measurement, take a tape measure and run it across the bottom-most part of one of the pant legs. If it’s 20 inches or wider, they are probably wide-leg jeans. Wide-leg jeans are usually labeled as well. If a pair of jeans is designed with tapered legs that become wider towards the bottom, they will likely feature “wide-leg” on the tag. Some people assume that wide-leg jeans are a new fashion trend, but this isn’t necessarily true. Although they’ve risen in popularity as of late, wide-leg jeans have actually been around for several decades. Some of the first wide-leg jeans appeared during the 1980s, during which they were worn by famous musicians and celebrities. Over the next two decades, the general public took notice by wearing them as well. Today, wide-leg jeans Reasons to Choose Wide-Leg Jeans Wide-leg...

Blue isn’t the only color in which jeans are made. You can find jeans in white as well. White jeans are still made of denim, the only difference is that they are dyed white rather than blue. With that said, choosing white jeans offers several benefits, some of which may surprise you. #1) Less Fading White jeans are less susceptible to fading than blue and other dark-colored jeans. Fading occurs when the dye is released out of a garment’s fabric. All jeans contain dye. If the dye is released, the garment will fade to a lighter tone. Fortunately, white jeans offer a high level of protection against fading. They still contain dye, but they don’t suffer from the same degree of fading as other jeans. Jeans are made of denim. Denim, of course, is a type of cotton fabric. Since cotton is naturally white, white jeans typically don’t fade as much as other jeans. #2) Mix Up Your Outfits Choosing white jeans will allow you to mix up your outfits. If you only own blue jeans, you may struggle to wear certain outfits. Not all colors match blue. While blue is a relatively universal color, some colors — such as brown — clash with it. You can still buy and wear jeans in other colors, but don’t overlook the benefits of white jeans. With white jeans, you can mix up your outfits. White compliments all other colors. There are no colors on the color wheel that clash with white. Therefore, you can wear white jeans with all of your outfits. Only wearing blue jeans is a mistake. There’s nothing...

A denim jacket is a versatile choice of outerwear. Consisting of the same denim material used in jeans, it offers a natural balance of comfort and style. If you’re planning it to wear it during the winter, though, you’ll need to choose the right type of denim jacket. While all denim jackets are comfortable and stylish, some are better suited for the cold winter weather than others. Full-Length Sleeves It’s recommended that you choose a denim jacket with full-length sleeves if you plan on wearing it during the winter season. With full-length sleeves, your arms will be completely covered and protected from the cold weather. Most denim jackets do, in fact, have full-length sleeves. The sleeves extend all the way from the shoulders to the wrists when worn. With that said, there are some denim jackets with partial-length sleeves or no sleeves at all. While suitable for the summer and spring seasons, they are typically a poor choice for the winter season. Instead, choose a denim jacket with full-length sleeves for the winter season. Buttons or Zipper You should also choose a denim jacket with either buttons or a zipper on the front. Buttons and zippers are fasteners. If your denim jacket doesn’t have either of them, you won’t be able to close the front of it. The front of your denim jacket will remain open, thereby exposing your body to the cold weather. When wearing a denim jacket during the winter season, you should close the front of it for additional warmth. Of course, this is only possible if your denim jacket has buttons or a zipper. Therefore,...

You can’t always wear jeans in your outfits. While jeans are versatile and work well for most casual outfits, they aren’t formal. When getting dressed for a formal event or occasion, you’ll need to choose a pair of formal trousers. Formal trousers are defined by their high level of formality. They offer a “dressier” appearance than jeans and other casual trousers. Fortunately, formal trousers are available in many different styles. Some of them are made of different materials, and many of them have different colors or patterns. So, what are some of the best styles of formal trousers exactly? #1) Cashmere Flannel Trousers Cashmere flannel trousers are a great choice, especially for the winter season. They are made of cashmere wool that’s finer — and therefore softer — than other types of wool. As their name suggests, cashmere flannel trousers are woven to achieve a flannel construction. Flannel isn’t a material. Rather, it refers to any soft-woven fabric that’s thicker than other types of materials. You can’t go wrong with cashmere flannel trousers. They are soft, warm and look amazing when worn in formal outfits. If you’re tired of wearing the same basic trousers day after day, perhaps you should try cashmere flannel trousers. They are perfect for all formal outfits, as they’ll lift your appearance while offering a superior level of comfort in the process. #2) Stretch Wool Trousers You may come across stretch wool trousers when shopping for a new pair of formal trousers. Like cashmere wool trousers, they are made of wool. Stretch wool trousers, however, are distinguished by their use of an elastic material. Traditional...

Ever wonder why some jeans are softer than others? Some of them may a fluffy and supple texture, whereas others have a stiff and rigid texture. Being that all jeans are made of the same material — denim — conventional wisdom may lead you to believe that they should feel the same. But this isn’t the case. Some jeans are softer than others. In this post, we’re going to investigate why some jeans are softer than others. Washed Denim Jeans made of washed denim are typically softer than those made of dry denim. Washed denim jeans are distinguished from dry denim jeans by the way in which they are produced. They are produced using denim that’s submerged in water. In comparison, dry denim jeans are made of dry denim that isn’t washed or otherwise submerged in water. It’s important to note that there are two types of washed denim jeans: Soft washed: The denim is submerged in cold water.Hard washed: The denim is submerged in hot water. Since they are made of pre-soaked denim, washed denim jeans tend to be softer than their dry denim counterparts. Submerging denim in water helps to soften it. When exposed to water, denim becomes softer and suppler. Hard washed jeans are the softest, but even cold washed jeans are noticeably softer than dry denim jeans. Whether hot or cold, water will soften jeans. Quality of Denim Some jeans are soft simply because they are made of high-quality denim. You have to remember that denim is comprised of cotton. Many people assume that denim is a synthetic material that’s manufactured in a factory. While...
