What are bootcut jeans?
Flattering, timeless and forever chic, designer bootcut jeans are a jean fit that never goes out of style. Bootcut jeans fit slim to the knee and flare subtly to the hem, elongating your frame for a more defined and flattering silhouette. Thanks to their slimming and sophisticated style, bootcut jeans are a timeless favourite time and time again.
Bringing style and sophistication to any outfit, bootcut jeans bring fresh femininity to your wardrobe, with a style and cut that seamlessly blends from day to night. The versatility of bootcut jeans allows you to effortlessly create timeless outfits that leave you feeling confident and comfortable with every step. Originally named ‘bootcut’ due to the fabric allowance making it easier to wear ankle boots, the bootcut jean fit has stuck around, first gaining prominence and popularity in the 90s before becoming a firm favourite for women to blend chic style with subtle sophistication.
How should
BOOTCUT
jeans fit?
Always strive for super soft comfort and premium fabric when you’re looking for a pair of designer bootcut jeans. Bootcut jeans for women, in particular, should be flatteringly feminine and made from quality denim for everyday wear. Always look for a pair from a reputable brand that specialises in creating denim that’s comfortable and designed to last.
What are the different styles of bootcut jeans?
Low rise
Low-rise bootcut jeans refer to a particular style of bootcut jeans. Low-rise jeans can be defined by where the waistband sits. Low-rise jeans feature a waistband that sits on the hip, for the ultimate laid-back look that’s super comfy and casual. You can explore our low-rise bootcut jeans here.
Mid-rise
Mid-rise bootcut jeans will sit just between the hips and the navel, just below the natural waist. Covering more of the stomach than low-rise jeans, depending on your outfit, mid-rise bootcut jeans may be perfect for you. Mid-rise jeans provide coverage at the hips but work to elongate your legs, too.
High rise
High-rise bootcut jeans are a timeless style of bootcut jean and for good reason. Classy, chic and flattering, high-rise boot cut jeans can accentuate your figure and elongate your legs, adding a touch of sophistication to your everyday wear or evening wear. A popular evening jean, high-rise dark wash bootcut jeans never fail to be on trend. Feel fabulously feminine in our premium high-rise bootcut jeans from designers including Paige, Frame, and Citizens of Humanity.
Stretch denim
Denim that includes a small percentage of stretch within the fabric allows for maximum comfort while still achieving a look of genuine, original denim. Women’s bootcut jeans that contain comfort stretch maintain shape perfectly to create a flattering silhouette while still being ultra-soft. For this timeless appeal and endless comfort, our collection of stretch denim designer bootcut jeans at Trilogy prove incredibly popular whatever the season.
Cropped bootcut jeans
It’s official: cropped jeans are in. Cropped bootcut jeans are super soft and super stylish, with a design that’s breathable and totally wearable no matter the season. We opt for black cropped bootcut jeans or leather coated cropped bootcut jeans for an elegant evening look.
Why not try a pair of Citizens of Humanity Isola cropped bootcut jeans which work wonderfully when paired with sandals? Our MOTHER designer bootcut jeans feature a dark grey wash and frayed step-hem to a twist on a classic design, and the Le Crop Mini Boot bootcut jeans from FRAME keep things chic with a dark indigo blue and contrast stitching.
What is the difference between bootcut jeans and flared jeans?
The key difference between bootcut jeans and flared jeans is in the silhouette. A bootcut kicks out from the knee subtly, whereas flared jeans feature a more dramatic bell bottom design, tapering out from the knee. Wide-leg jeans taper out immediately from the waistband, another key differentiation.
How do you style bootcut jeans?
How you style designer bootcut jeans will be dependent on the overall look you are going for. Styling your bootcut jeans will truly depend on what works for you. The beauty of bootcut fit is that it’s incredibly versatile and easy to dress up or down for a more sophisticated or casual look respectively.
