Secrets to deciphering the different cuts of women's jeans

Jeans are part of Freeman's DNA. A wide range of cuts is available, depending on your morphology and personal preferences. Whether you're looking for slim or skinny jeans that will enhance your curves and offer a particularly feminine result, or conversely, whether you're into looser cuts for unrivalled comfort like a straight cut, boyfriend, bootcut or flare, there's something for everyone!

But how do you choose the right cut?

What are the major differences between our main jean cuts?

Here's a rundown of the cuts that punctuate your seasons!

The first thing to understand is that a cut has 3 main characteristics:

  • The leg, which may or may not be fitted;
  • The waist, which can be low, regular or high;
  • And the length, classic or ankle-length, also known as cropped or 7/8th.

The different fits

jean slim

Slim Jeans

The slim fit is a basic cut that adapts to every style, and a benchmark for those looking for jeans that enhance their appearance. They shape the figure and lengthen the legs. Slim Jeans are fitted at the top, with a slim fit at the thighs, and are straight at the ankles, unlike Skinny Jeans, which are tight all the way down.

For which body type?

Slim Jeans are particularly suited to those with a slim figure. On the other hand, if you're wider in the hips, thighs or calves, it's best to avoid them. If you're short on stature, it'll make your legs look longer.

What shoes to wear them with?

The great thing about Slim Jeans is that they go with everything! Sneakers, ankle boots, derbies, pumps - the choice is yours, depending on the style of your outfit.
