The backbone of the modern wardrobe, denim is a fabric that has stood the test of time since its humble origins in 1873. Today denim or more specifically denim jeans are a staple that none of us can do without; comfortable enough for everyday and chic enough for special occasions, denim offers endless fashion opportunities no matter what your personal style is.
From the sleek silhouette of slim fit jeans to the statement flare of wide leg jeans, denim is available in a range of different fits and washes. Today we will be exploring some of the most popular styles that denim is available in, featuring SAPPHIRE West’s denim range from their new arrivals, to find a design that best suits you, your style, and your lifestyle!
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. SLIM FIT DENIM
The classic slim fit denim is a universally flattering option that accentuates your curves and gives a chic and streamlined look, without compromising on comfort.
Not as figure hugging as skinny jeans, the slim fit jeans are an extremely versatile option; they can be dressed up with heels and a nice top for a formal occasion or dressed down for casual outings when paired with sneakers and a t shirt for women.
2. HIGH-RISE PAPER BAG DENIM
The high-rise paper bag denim jeans showcase the perfect blend of modern trends and retro vibes for those who like to experiment with their look.
With its cinched waist and relaxed fit, the silhouette of the paper bag jeans is both flattering and comfortable for wearing all year round. The best way to wear this pair of denim jeans is with a fitted t shirt for women, tucked into the waistband, to balance out the proportions of the body to create an effortlessly chic look.
3. STRAIGHT-FIT DENIM
Popularly regarded as the most classic style of jeans, straight-fit denim jeans have had a cult following since their inception in the late 1970s, once the silhouette of denim jeans started to shift from a flared to a more structured, straight cut.
With its straight silhouette, this style is incredibly versatile and can be worn with a casual t shirt for women or a formal blouse for daily and elevated looks all season long.
4. MOM-FIT DENIM
Since its triumphant comeback in recent years, the mom-fit denim jeans has become one of the most popular denim styles.
Characterised by its high-waist, relaxed fit, and tapered hem, the mom jean exudes a certain type of vintage charm with its nostalgic design. This jean is great for creating a more casual and effortless look, paired with a basic tank top for women, button down tops, or your favourite t shirt for women!
5. BOOT-CUT DENIM
With its subtle node to the 70s, the boot-cut denim jeans are an evergreen favourite that, as the name suggests, go perfectly with a pair of boots!
Fitted through the waist and the thighs with a flare starting from the knees, all the way to the floor, this design elongates the legs and creates an extremely flattering silhouette that pairs well with casual and formal tops for women.
6. HIGH-RISE WIDE LEG DENIM
A bold and fashion-forward choice, the high-rise wide leg denim jeans bring a certain amount of drama to your OOTD!
These denim jeans sit high on the waist and flow down to a wide flared silhouette. Pair the wide leg jeans with a fitted top and heeled shoes to balance out the volume on the bottom and look effortlessly trendy this summer.
7. CROPPED WIDE LEG DENIM
The cropped wide leg jeans are a more playful version of the longer length wide leg denim.
With the same cut and silhouette as the wide leg, this style is essentially a cropped version of the jean, that ends above the ankle, to give it a more culotte-like appearance which draws attention to the shoes. This can be styled with both casual and formal tops for women.
8. BEYOND THE BASICS
While denim jeans are the evergreen favourite of many, the world of denim exists beyond that as well.
Some of the other well-known pieces that denim is fashioned into includes button downs, jackets, and dresses. Whether you opt for the denim-on-denim route with a Canadian tuxedo or keep it low key with a denim shirt dress, don’t forget to expand your denim closet this season!
