A great pair of jeans is the mainstay of any wardrobe. The ones that feel right the moment you put them on, and pair with nearly anything in your wardrobe. But eventually, your favourite jeans need replacing, and you’re back at square one.
If you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe, the Verge jeans collection is a perfect place to start, with styles that take you from daily wear to dressing up, and everything in between.
What Jeans Are in Style?
When people ask what jeans are in style, they’re often surprised to hear that there isn’t one dominant shape anymore. Wide-leg jeans are definitely having a moment, and lower-rise styles are starting to reappear, particularly among younger wearers, but they’re still just one option among many.
The great news is, this makes it so much easier to find something that genuinely works for you. If you’re exploring new shapes or updated cuts, it’s worth browsing our women’s denim collection to see what’s currently coming through.
What Are the Different Styles of Jeans
Understanding the different styles of jeans can make it much easier to narrow down your search to the perfect pair, and one of the first things to consider is the rise.
The rise of your jeans changes where they sit and how they feel. High-rise styles tend to offer more coverage and structure through the waist, while lower-rise options sit closer to the hip and create a different proportion through the outfit.
Once you’ve narrowed down your preferred rise, it’s time to choose a leg shape.
Skinny Jeans
With a sleek silhouette, skinny jeans hug the body from waist to ankle. They pair beautifully with oversized tops, blazers, or boots.
Straight-Leg Jeans
Straight-leg jeans have the same width from hip to hem, which is flattering on many body types and works well for both casual and formal looks.
Bootcut Jeans
Bootcut jeans fit through the thigh with a subtle flare from the knee down. They can help balance proportions and elongate the legs, especially when worn with a heeled boot.
Wide-Leg Jeans
Wide-leg jeans offer a looser fit from the hips down, perfect for those who want comfort without sacrificing style.
7/8-Length Jeans
A 7/8-length jean sits between the ankle and mid-calf, creating a cropped finish that works beautifully with heels, flats, or boots - ideal for those who find full-length styles too long. The Paris Jean, Farrow Jean, and Master Jean all offer this flattering length in a range of silhouettes and rises to suit every wardrobe.
Boyfriend Jeans
Boyfriend jeans are known for their relaxed, slightly oversized fit. They typically sit lower on the hips and offer a casual style that pairs well with fitted tops.
When you’re shopping for bottoms, whether denim or pants, it can be tempting to lean into one particular flattering style, but we recommend having a few different options to suit a range of outfits.
For example, wide-leg jeans look best when they’re balanced with a slim silhouette on top, while narrower style bottoms are a better choice if you’re wearing a flowy top. It’s all about proportion, balance, and having the right pair of jeans for the outfit.
Verge Denim Range
The best jeans aren’t the ones that are trending, they’re the ones that hold their shape and make you look and feel great. At Verge, our flattering denim is designed with a stretch-friendly fit that features premium cotton and elastane. With a wide selection of colours and styles to choose from, you’re sure to find your new favourites.
