The bootcut model is similar to the flared one, but slightly more discreet. Designed to be worn with boots, they are snug on the hips and thighs and then widen from the knee down, without however the flare being too wide. They are very popular with women because they make their legs look long and slender, but most of all they have a much more versatile style than skinny jeans.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Choose Bootcut Jeans
Step 1. Pay attention to the waistline
As with other jeans models, there are low, medium and high waisted bootcuts. Here are some good tips for choosing the right model.
- Low-rise bootcut jeans are only suitable for slender people. They rest right under the hips and if you have a few extra pounds, at that point you can create small rolls that come out. When in doubt, play it safe by choosing a mid-rise style.
- Mid-rise bootcut jeans are standard jeans. They rise above the hips but remain below the navel, in order to cover enough and prevent the rolls from forming.
- High-waisted bootcuts are usually worn by people with an avant-garde style, who feel comfortable in this quite restrictive model. They are also a good choice if you want to hide your belly up to your waist and if you wear sweaters or tunics with jeans.
Step 2. Try on the jeans
Denim gives a little after a few washes, so you may want to take a slightly tight fit, however you shouldn't feel it pinch and you need to be able to button them up. Choose a size larger if you experience crotch discomfort.
Jeans that are too tight in the crotch can be uncomfortable and even harmful to women. They can cause irritation and infection problems in this sensitive area
Step 3. If you intend to wear high-heeled or cowboy boots, buy jeans that are approximately 5cm longer than your crotch length
This type of jeans should be worn with boots and should come almost to the floor.
Step 4. Get them fixed
Some department stores offer free alterations when you buy designer jeans. It is better to buy long jeans and have them fit your crotch size rather than buying them short.
Bootcut jeans should never be too short. They are designed to reach below the ankle, just a couple of centimeters above the ground
Step 5. Watch your pockets
Light colors, patterns and faded patches draw attention to the butt and hips. If you have wide hips and full thighs, choose vertical and lower decorations along the leg instead of jeans decorated in these spots.
People with a heart-shaped body, with a broad chest and a slimmer waist, should choose jeans with horizontal decorations around the pockets and belt
Method 2 of 2: How to Match Bootcut Jeans
Step 1. Remember that the important thing is the shoes
Bootcut jeans look best with boots and high heels, which accentuate the long, slim line created by this model. However, jeans will cover almost any shoe, so don't go too fancy.
Step 2. Try the white shirt and boots look
A white fitted shirt with buttons is ideal for medium or dark colored bootcut jeans. It's the classic look, ideal for a pair of brown boots of virtually any style.
Step 3. Try the western look
Wear a flannel or gingham shirt, bootcut jeans, and a pair of cowboy boots. A weekend or casual look that combines comfort and style.
Step 4. Make some bootcut jeans look stylish with a nice blouse or top
Women with large breasts should wear a blouse that is slightly fitted at the waist. Add pumps, stilettos or ankle boots.
Step 5. Wear bootcut jeans to work with a blazer
Wear a black blazer for a professional look and a trendy or contrast blazer for a less formal occasion. Put on a pair of high shoes in a complementary color.
Step 6. Choose flat shoes for a preppy style
If you have a pair of bootcut jeans that are too short to wear with high heels, you can use ballet flats or shoes with low, thin heels, combined with a shirt and a crew neck sweater or cardigan.
Step 7. Think of bootcut jeans as the classic, everyday jeans in your wardrobe
It takes time and a little money to find the right fit, so you can combine them with just about anything, including sweaters, shirts, fitted T-shirts, coats, silk blouses and more.
