Guide to Women’s Jeans
At STRØM, you’ll find women’s jeans for everyday wear and work. You can pair them with shirts, T-shirts, blazers, or knitwear to create outfits for the office and the weekend. In addition to our women’s selection, you’ll find men’s jeans in the men’s category.
Fit and Waistline Placement
The placement of the waistline defines the cut of a pair of jeans. If the waistline sits at the navel, it accentuates the waist, while a placement at the hips allows room around the stomach. A wide-leg fit creates width from the hips down to the floor. A mom fit offers room at the hips and tapers toward the ankles. A straight fit maintains the same width from the hips down to the ankles. A bootcut flares out from the knee and covers the ankle. A slim fit follows the shape of the legs from the hips to the ankles.
Washes, Shades, and Textures
The color and texture of jeans result from the treatment of the cotton. Dark washes and indigo shades add depth and tie the outfit together. Light washes and distressed patterns create variations on the thighs and knees, which change the look for everyday wear. Washing the fabric provides flexibility from the start, while unwashed denim molds to the body over time. The texture and threads in the surface create a play of light on the fabric when light hits the cotton.
Styling Silhouettes and Contrasts
Jeans serve as the foundation of an outfit. If you wear a wide-leg fit with a T-shirt or a blazer, you create balance between the top and bottom. If you tuck a shirt or sweater into the waistband of a mom fit, you accentuate the waist. Switching from sneakers to heels or boots transforms your look from casual to dressy. Rolling up the hem of your jeans shows off your shoes and adjusts the length.
Jeans for Different Occasions and Your Wardrobe
Choosing the right jeans helps tailor your outfit to the day’s activities. At the office, a straight-leg or slim-fit style works well with a shirt and blazer. For weekends and leisure, a wide-leg or mom-fit style offers room to move when paired with sweaters and T-shirts. For evenings, the combination of dark-wash jeans, a top, and heels creates a cohesive look. By switching up your top and footwear, a single pair of jeans can be worn all year round.
