PANTS AND JEANS – The Basics in every closet
First, we have to give a special shout out to women like Marlene Dietrich, a pioneer in styling the split-leg dress and turning it into an icon of women’s fashion! Nowadays, pants and jeans have become a staple in the wardrobes of both men and women. With a huge variety of styles, fabrics, and colours, there’s truly something for every taste! Whether you prefer to rock a classic pair of Jeans, the stylish elegance of Chino- or cloth pants or the sporty comfort of Jogging- or sweatpants, there’s legwear fashion for every occasion. Corduroy pants and Leggings are also included, leaving little to be desired!
JEANS – THE ICONIC ALL-ROUNDER
Do you think Levi Strauss ever dreamed of practically everyone on earth owning at least one pair of jeans? Originally designed as a robust denim pant for working men, jeans have become an indispensable part of fashion and a favourite among billions worldwide. Carhartt WIP, for example, creates jeans that show just how fashionable and functional this style can really be. There’s hardly a limit to the cuts, sizes and colours that jeans can be found in.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CUT
The cut of jeans describes their style and the way they fit while wearing them. If you’re wondering which jean cut is right for you, here’s a run-down of the basics. First, there's the iconic Regular fit. It has a straight leg fit that allows you freedom of movement and sits relaxed on your hips. If you're looking for a classic style, you can't go wrong with this cut. If you are searching for something that hugs your figure a bit more, the popular Slim fit is definitely the right choice. Slim legs and a hip-hugging cut put your curves in the right light. The slim fit forms the style basis for an exciting night out with high heels or as a cute look with sneakers. There’s also a compromise of these two cuts: the Tapered fit. Also known as the Boyfriend cut, tapered fit jeans offers a looser fit on the hips that “tapers” down to a slimmer fit at the ankles, showing off your advantages in the best possible way.
GIVE ME CHINOS!
Of course, there’s more to pants than just jeans! If you're looking for an alternative, maybe chinos are more your style! With features like creases or buttoned pockets, chinos offer the perfect look for both formal and informal occasions. Brands such as Nikita and Dickies have even made the chino suitable for skateboarding, thanks to durable materials and robust seams.
Chinos are a staple in the summer season. When the sun’s out and temperatures rise, chinos provide a light and airy fit for warm weather comfort. Usually made of soft cotton fabric with a relaxed style, they’re stylish and practical for when you’re out and about in the sun. You’re sure to find something interesting from brands like alife and kickinand iriedaily. Emphasis is placed on comfort. Instead of buttons, you will usually find elastic cuffs and drawstrings that make these pants perfect for all-day wear.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE…
To maximize comfort and style, every girl’s best friend is a cute pair of leggings! Usually made from a stretchy material, leggings are the true hip-huggers of all pants. Leggings look especially great with an oversized shirt, a skirt, or even alone! No matter how you wear them, leggings show off your best curves for a cute and attractive look.
Last but not least – the Sunday favourite: sweatpants! Sweatpants are now more than just a cosy pant for wearing around the house. For example, you’ll find some sweatpants from Billabong with a look so stylish you could wear them anywhere! But honestly, we won’t blame you for spending the day lounging on the couch in a comfy new pair of sweatpants.
