There are tons of jeans out there and you\u2019re probably confused and lost about the different types of jeans you can buy. From skinny jeans to boyfriend jeans and even mum jeans, which one works the best for you? How should you style them so they flatter your figure the best?
\nYou should start by knowing these different types of jeans well. There are different styles, cuttings and designs that are all good in their own way. Find the one that\u2019s best for you by starting with the cut! <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Skinny Jeans \/ Slim-fit Pants<\/span><\/h2>\n

Skinny jeans<\/span><\/a> fit snugly around the waist to the ankles and also tend to give the impression of longer and slimmer legs. They\u2019re also one of the types of jeans most commonly worn. If you aren\u2019t exactly \u2018skinny\u2019 but still want to look and feel your best in skinny jeans, here are some styling tips you can try! <\/span>
\nWear boots over your skinny jeans to give the illusion of thinner calves. Darker colours will also have a slimming effect, while stretchier jeans help maximise comfort. Prior to <\/span>purchasing the jeans<\/span><\/a>, ensure they fit well! <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Boyfriend Jeans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unlike skinny jeans (quite the opposite, in fact), <\/span>boyfriend jeans<\/span><\/a> are slouchy and baggy. They\u2019re often loose fitting all the way to the ankles and definitely more comfortable than their skinnier counterparts. Styling them with rolled cuffs reduces the bagginess and gives more shape, which will flatter your figure. These jeans go well with tight fitted or cropped tops to complement the looseness and when paired with sneakers, they\u2019ll give off a sporty vibe. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Regular Fit Jeans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like what their name suggests, they\u2019re.. regular. <\/span>Regular fit jeans<\/span><\/a> are a type of jeans equally fitted from the waist to the ankles. As the midpoint between skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans, they’re neither too loose nor tight! The comfortable and fashionable look they create makes them the best go-to jeans for a casual day out or even dress down days. Top them off with a basic tee or slightly dressy top and you\u2019re good to go! <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Straight Leg Jeans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Though similar, <\/span>straight leg jeans<\/span><\/a> should not be confused for regular fit jeans. They are often tighter in the thigh area than below the knee. However, they can be styled the same way as regular fit jeans! <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Bell Bottom Jeans<\/span><\/h2>\n

This type of jeans are tight till the knees and flared from the knee down. Although slightly harder to pull off, <\/span>bell bottom jeans<\/span><\/a> also make you look extremely fashionable if worn right. They can be styled with oversized sweaters and sheer blouses or even long cardigans. <\/span><\/p>\n

6. Jeggings<\/span><\/h2>\n

A combination of jeans and leggings, <\/span>jeggings<\/span><\/a> have more stretch than regular denim, but are thicker than <\/span>regular leggings<\/span><\/a> — giving you the best of both worlds. <\/span>
\nStyle them with any top, or even longer shirts or short dresses to prevent accidental exposure. It\u2019s perfect for Singapore\u2019s hot and humid weather too, as the material is of the perfect thickness. While they come in designs that look similar to denim, you could also opt for brighter colours or flashy prints! <\/span><\/p>\n

7. Mom Jeans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mom jeans<\/span><\/a> are known for their high waist and low back pockets. It\u2019ll go well with a woolen cardigan, or even blazer! If you\u2019re looking for a white washed look, pair white jeans with a white top! Not exactly a fan of the baggy look? You could also try getting the jeans tapered so they\u2019ll be more fitting! <\/span><\/p>\n

8. Culotte Jeans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Culotte jeans<\/span><\/a> are wide from the waist down, unlike bell bottoms that are only wide from the knee down. Like other types of jeans, they go well with almost every outfit! Style them with a colourful leather jacket, a long flowy coat or even blazers if you\u2019re going for a less casual look. <\/span><\/p>\n

Special Waist Designs <\/span><\/h2>\n

Besides the various cuts mentioned, there are types of jeans with little details that make regular jeans look less boring. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Paperbag Waist Jeans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Paperbag waist jeans<\/span><\/a> are as comfortable as they are flattering. Although the word \u2018paperbag\u2019 makes them sound less attractive, you\u2019ll be surprised when you see how pretty these types of jeans look! These jeans have ribbons along the waistline which you can tighten or loosen, and they give off a more demure vibe. <\/span>
\nTuck your longer tops into the waistband or wear crop tops to show off your paperbag waist jeans! Not only are they fashionable, they\u2019ll also be comfortable for your little ones if you want to pull off a <\/span>twinning look<\/span><\/a>! <\/span><\/p>\n

2. High Waist Jeans <\/span><\/h2>\n

Show off that waistline with <\/span>high waist jeans<\/span><\/a>! These go well with tops that can be tucked in and will give more shape to your outfit, which in turn makes everything look more flattering! We\u2019d recommend getting high waisted jeans that are tighter around the waist. Not only do they draw attention to your waistline, they\u2019ll also make it appear smaller.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not so adventurous, try <\/span>acid wash jeans<\/span><\/a>. They\u2019re not jarringly bright, but are sufficient in adding a little more detail to your outfit. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Ripped Jeans \/ Distressed Jeans<\/span><\/h2>\n

If acid washed or coloured jeans aren\u2019t the types of jeans you would wear, why not try <\/span>ripped jeans<\/span><\/a>! Although they can only be worn casually, ripped jeans show off just the right amount of skin and make wearing jeans in Singapore a little more bearable. Just a little. <\/span><\/p>\n
