In most cases, each “denim” brand has a unique classification and specifies their own labeling on their products, but the basis for many years has remained unchanged, only occasionally supplemented with newfangled trends.
So, what is an “anatomy” of jeans? The main components, in both the male and female models, three:
The combination of various forms cut each part creates a separate style. Now take a closer look at each of them.
Let’s start from the beginning. That is, from the top. Share five main types of landing:
High waist (high-waisted rise) is a convenient model which was originally invented for cowboys (not suitable for riders slipping back pants), but now particularly relevant among girls. This cut is attractive because it visually lengthens legs and accentuates the elegance of the waist.
If we talk about women’s high-waisted rise, then select jeans with a high waist, slender ladies are recommended, though, if you choose the right style and size, and ladies in body look so fit quite advantageous.
At the waist (rise original) – the top jeans sits slightly lower than in the overpriced models, and passes through the natural waistline. Popular among the height of the jeans, which is good for any gender, height and build.
Medium fit (regular or medium rise) – the most common type of fit in men’s and women’s jeans, where the belt is located directly under the waist line. It is a universal solution for any type of figure.
Low-waisted (low rise) – for the most part jeans with low waist prefer girls, although these options are found among male models. Because this type of landing visually widens the hips, it is best suited for thin young men and women with narrow hips and slightly marked waist.
Low fit (ultra low rise) – extreme type cut with the lowest position of the belt designed to slim, bold and shocking. These jeans are not designed for everyday wear and in need of proper selection of clothing in General. In the men’s segment are not used.

Straight fit (regular fit or classic) – judging from the name, this is the basic and most versatile type of cut which can be found from any manufacturer or fashion house. Due to the direct style that hides as excessive thinness and completeness, it is suitable for any male or female figure.
Loose fit (relaxed fit) – unlike the classics, this style is generally more spacious, not tight and does not hinder movement, and the waist line is moved down to the hips. For greater comfort and feeling of “freedom”, loose jeans are popular among both sexes of all ages.
Supersporty cut (loose, baggy fit) is compared with the previous have the widest style and in most cases a low waist. The predecessor of the fit was baggy work pants early twentieth century, which often had plenty of pockets for various tools. Now these pants are very popular among the representatives of streetstyle and hip-hop. By the way, these jeans are often called hip-hop mopes or just “tubes”.
Boyfriend jeans (boyfriend fit) – despite its name, a style designed exclusively for ladies. In fact, this is a classic men’s jeans adapted to the female half. This files most often have low or standard fit and straight leg Podkamenye medium width. The high interest of girls in this type of cut manufacturers offer a much richer variety of “Boyfriends”. The model is suitable for different types of shapes, but the owners of lush thighs better to give preference to less direct silhouette.
Jeans-Sliema (slim fit) – in English the word “slim” means “slim”. This kind of jeans tight figure and zauzhivaetsya to the bottom. Recently become popular not only among women but also men. The model can accentuate a trim silhouette, but if you choose the right fit and wide leg, visually hide figure flaws (large eggs or disproportionate to the figure).

In addition to boot cut, the width of the two legs does not exceed the width of the belt, there are also flared cut, in which the width of the leg from the knee to the bottom is much more extreme. These jeans are called “bells”.
