What length to choose for women's straight-cut Jeans ?
Women’s straight or regular jeans are one of the basic items you need in your wardrobe. As their name suggests, they have a straight cut that follows the outline of the leg without compressing it. They come in a range of colours and styles. But what length should you choose to suit your body shape so that you can be trendy in all circumstances? Le Temps des Cerises explains everything you need to know!
Models of women’s straight jeans
As with all denim trousers, regular jeans come in different lengths depending on the models and the designers.
The current trend is for jeans that are worn short. Cropped or 7/8ths models of regular jeans are very popular right now, we see them everywhere!
For those who want to wear classic regular jeans, you can always roll the ankle of your jeans up if you feel like it. It is also very trendy to display your ankles when the sun is shining!
What size should you choose?
To choose the size of your regular jeans, you need to bear two criteria in mind: your body shape and your measurements.
Body shape
If you are tall, cropped or 7/8ths regular jeans are made for you! They help to lengthen your figure and subtly display your ankles.
Women who are short will prefer to opt for regular jeans that are suited to their size or slightly turned up.
The high-waisted model is perfect for women with an 8- or X-shaped body type with a pinched waist. It is also ideal for hiding the stomach if that is something you are insecure about.
Measurements
In order to choose the right length of regular jeans for you, just remember to take your measurements!
The inside leg measurement is key to choosing the right length for your trousers. Place a tape measure on your inner leg and measure from the crotch to the ankle. All you then need to do is look at the corresponding women’s regular jeans measurement table to ensure that you choose the right size. Don’t forget that sizes can vary from one model to another, so be careful before you confirm your choice!
Generally, length 30 to 32 (81cm from crotch to foot) corresponds to sizes 24 to 29. Length 34 corresponds to sizes above 30.
A few hints and tips to check your size
Once you have chosen the length, you then need to check that your jeans are the right size for you. There are two easy ways to do this:
- Pull lightly on the belt loops of your jeans to check that your jeans are neither too tight nor too loose. Regular jeans should have a couple of centimetres give when you pull on the belt loops.
- Your regular jeans should not hang down on the back of your thighs, they should be straight but not baggy – failing this they are not adapted to your body shape.
