How to wear Bootcut Jeans ?
Women’s bootcut jeans are the essential jeans in any woman’s wardrobe. Their slightly flared cut from the knee to the bottom of the leg is flattering for all women and provides a great basis for all styles. But how can you wear them without committing any fashion faux pas and showcase them alongside the different items from your wardrobe? Le Temps des Cerises explains all!
What are women’s bootcut jeans?
Before focusing on looks and outfits, we first need to look at the characteristics of bootcut jeans and the reasons why they are so incredibly successful.
The cut of bootcut jeans
The expression “bootcut” simply means that this cut can be worn with boots. In short, this name underlines the advantage of these jeans, with their slightly flared cut that allows them to be worn with boots or with ankle boots.
Bootcut jeans are tighter fitting on the thigh, and they widen out from the knee to the foot. Of course, bootcuts vary from designer to designer, with some being a little baggier and some closer fitting, depending on the different models.
These denim trousers have the advantage of making you look slimmer, and they are perfectly adapted to a look featuring high heels or trainers.
Difference between bootcut jeans and flared jeans
People often confuse bootcut jeans and flared jeans, because their cuts are fairly similar. They both actually have a closer fitting cut on the thigh and they are flared from the knee down.
However, bootcut jeans are much less wide than flared jeans, which are also known as “elephant’s leg” jeans.
Who can wear bootcut jeans?
Bootcut jeans have the advantage of suiting a variety of body shapes, and we’re delighted about that!
Women who are curvy will find that bootcut jeans are very flattering.
If you have an A-shaped body type, meaning that your hips are wider than your upper body, you really need to opt for a pair of our jeans, they are perfect for you!
Choosing the right bootcut jeans
Jeans need to be chosen carefully because they are an item that you will often wear and keep for several years. There are a few criteria to bear in mind to ensure that you choose the right bootcut jeans to suit you perfectly.
The quality of bootcut jeans and the material they are made of
Choosing jeans made of the right material is essential to ensure that they are comfortable for you and will last you several years.
Opt for bootcut jeans made of cotton and/or elastane to guarantee comfort and provide a close fit along with freedom of movement.
The stonewash of your bootcut jeans
Stonewashed jeans are definitely trendy, whatever cut you opt for. The worn look of these jeans will add texture to your outfit and modernise it, while also providing some vintage cachet, which is very much in vogue.
But you need to be careful about the type of stonewash you choose! Avoid jeans with very light-coloured stonewashes or those with a yellowed aspect, as these have gone completely out of fashion.
Among the most popular stonewashes, you should definitely opt for a stone bleached, stone used, double stone, or even a bleach wash look…
Don’t forget to consider your body type: certain stonewashes can accentuate your curves or provide a slimming effect.
The colour of your bootcut jeans
Are you unsure which women’s bootcut jeans you should choose? First of all, choose more basic coloured jeans to ensure that they will easily match with all of the items in your wardrobe: dark blue, light blue, and black, for example, are the most timeless shades.
The colour you choose for your bootcut jeans will also depend on your body shape: darker colours have a slimming effect while lighter colours will tend to add volume to your figure.
Details and finishing touches of bootcut jeans
Check the quality of the stitching, the pockets, the buttons, the zips and the embroidering before settling on a choice of bootcut jeans. The details and originality of your jeans make all the difference, and they are what will make you stand out!
High or low waist?
Choose a pair of high-waisted bootcut jeans if you want to showcase your slim waist. Women who have an 8 or X body shape should choose high-waisted jeans for a sure-fire sexy pin-up look! High-waisted jeans are also ideal for hiding your spare tyre, if this is something you are worried about.
