Women's & Juniors'
Rises
High/Natural Waist
Two words — waist defining. And like the name says, this style has a higher rise that sits at or above the natural waist. Figure-flattering on those with long torsos and hourglass shapes.
Midrise
In between natural and low-rise styles, you'll find this flattering fit. Sits right below the waistline. A popular choice that looks fantastic on a variety of figures.
Low Rise
They sit lower on the waist, right below the navel. Many styles now come in lower rises that look especially hip on juniors. Perfect for a comfortable, yet fashionable, fit.
Lengths
Skimmer
Shorter than capris, skimmers have an in-between length that hits at or right below the knee, making them look almost like shorts. Cool, comfortable, casual, sweet and the perfect warm-weather trend.
Crop
Just like its name would suggest, this style is cropped and falls at various lengths — from midcalf to right above the ankle. Even better is the fact that they come in a variety of shapes to flatter every figure.
Capri
Similar to the crop, capris are short pants or jeans with a hem that falls about midcalf or just below the calf. This style derives its nickname from the Italian isle where they were first made popular. Lucky for you, they traveled the globe and have now found a place as a classic icon.
Gaucho
A style that falls at midcalf and has an extremely wide cut through the hip, thigh and leg opening. Originally worn in both Spain and South America as riding habits, this style is now as versatile as it is chic. And we love that this trend knows how to look cute and supply comfort.
Styles
Classic
Leg openings: 13-16 in.
Tried and true. This style has a traditional, relaxed fit through the seat and thigh. Often with a straight or slightly tapered leg opening. Also goes by the alias of regular fit. But whatever you call it, you'll realize this style is easy to wear.
Boot Cut
Leg openings: 16.5-19.5 in.
This flattering style skims the thigh and knee, then has a slight flare at the leg opening. Originally designed to fit over a bulky boot, this style now looks good with just about any pair of cute shoes. And you'll definitely like the fact that this cut is wonderful for balancing proportions and creating the illusion of longer legs.
Flare
Leg openings: 20-22 in.
Boot-cut styling not brave enough? Bell-bottoms a little too daring? Then jeans with a flare leg might be the style you're looking for. Typically fitted through the seat, thigh and knee, then flared at the leg opening. Wear a pair of these and don't be afraid to show off your highly developed flare for fashion.
Skinny
Leg openings: 11.5-13.5 in.
Retro fashion that's back with a passion. Has a snug, slim fit all the way through the seat, thigh and leg openings. Wear them correctly and you reap the rewards of visually balancing your leg line.
Straight Leg
Leg openings: 14-16 in.
This fit is favored for its straightforward simplicity. Straight, but not too narrow. Trim, but not too tight. Usually the same width through the thigh, knee and leg opening.
Wide Leg
Leg openings: over 23 in.
A daring style that resembles bell bottoms. Known for their snug fit through the seat and thigh. With extra-wide leg openings that balance your proportions. Ideal for trendsetters who want to make a bold statement.
Finishes
Blasted
Short for "sandblasted." This term refers to fabric that has been washed with sand or another abrasive material to produce soft, faded results. For dramatic contrast, look for styles that have been superblasted in certain areas!
Crosshatch
This must-have finish features a crisscross weave. It looks great in any denim hue - from light sandblast to dark indigo. Try stretch crosshatch, too.
Slub
Trust us, this style looks better than it sounds! It refers to denim woven with uneven yarns, giving jeans a totally cool, textured effect.
Frayed
The cut-off look isn't just for denim shorts. Frayed edges are showing up everywhere, including waist lines and leg openings
Oven-baked
"What?" You might say. But these jeans are actually oven-baked. It gives them a semi-permanent, creased or wrinkled effect in certain areas. You get a cool, lived-in vintage look without wearing out the denim. It's almost as cool as being a rock star. Almost.
Distressed
The coolest thing to happen to denim since bell bottoms. These jeans are highly faded and sometimes finished with holes, rips, tears and fraying hems. The perfect detail to satisfy your inner rock star.
Washes
Dirty Washed
Like stone-washed jeans, they have been prewashed to make them softer and give them a worn-in look. The difference – they've been tinged in beige, brown or khaki to make them appear "dirty."
Tinted
Denim that looks like it was dipped into diluted dye shades of any color in the rainbow. Red, brown, gray or turquoise - take your pick.
Whisker Wash
This wash features bleached-out marks that resemble whiskers (typically right below the front pockets). A big trend!
