Bootcut jeans for women

Bootcut jeans: trendy flared trousers in many different varieties

Jeans with this chic hem style are experiencing a revival. Be it classic blue, a retro design or a vintage garment wash: s.Oliver is reinterpreting the classic and presenting it in all its facets. The selection of colours, wash effects and cuts is correspondingly large. The trousers, which are close-fitting on the hips and wider towards the hem, suit every woman without a doubt.

Bootcut jeans styles for women

As you can imagine, the term bootcut comes from the words boot and cut. This reflects its American origins. The wide cut trouser legs originally served a practical purpose: they were intended to fit over cowboy, army and work boots. In the 1970s they became a symbol of an entire lifestyle – since then bootcut jeans have been associated with flower power and funky disco dancing. Contemporary reinterpretations are now making bootcut jeans a popular piece once again.

Bootcut fits harmonise perfectly with feminine curves. The flared hem balances out broad hips and cuts a fine figure. Depending on the model, the cut of the trouser leg can vary – some come with a subtle flare while others feature a wide or extra-wide hem. What all women’s bootcut jeans have in common is that they are tight on the hips and thighs and flared at the hems. Most casual and office-friendly models have a slight funnel shape from the knee down. This means that the flare is visible, but still quite modest. For an extravagant retro chic look, some flare dramatically at calf height. They have a trumpet- or bell-shaped cut.

Bootcut jeans with inverted pleats have a very elegant look. Five-pocket designs have two large slit pockets on both the front and back plus an additional fifth pocket, just like classic jeans. The fifth pocket is integrated into one of the front pockets and serves as a practical compartment for small items such as coins. Bootcut jeans with flared hems add an even more casual touch.

The waistband also plays an important role in terms of aesthetics and comfort. High-waisted bootcut jeans are very figure-defining. Try tucking in an elegant blouse or polo neck jumper and the high waistband will have a visually elongating effect on your legs. Low-rise jeans are more casual, and create a sexy summer outfit when paired with a crop top. Unlike regular-rise waistbands, they don’t come up to the waist, they sit directly on the hips. But no matter what type of bootcut jeans you choose: make sure that the waistband is neither too tight nor too loose. You know your bootcut jeans have the perfect fit if there is space for two fingers in the waistband. Trousers with an elasticated waistband ensure the highest level of comfort.

Great colours and fabrics for bootcut jeans

Bootcut jeans for women can be pale blue or another colour. Alongside classic indigo, the range at s.Oliver also includes other colours with nuanced garment washes. Be it deep black, dark/pale grey or white denim: the selection is huge. Every pair of bootcut jeans undergoes an elaborate dyeing and finishing process. The fabric and the garment wash determine the colour tone. With heavily washed trousers made of a robust twill weave, the white weft threads are more visible. Rough or heavily faded effects on the thighs create an authentic vintage style. Pale blue jeans in a vintage look are a famous cult favourite. Additionally, cross-dyed fabric blends can produce amazing multi-coloured effects.

High denim quality ensures that the bootcut jeans adapt to the legs comfortably and follow the contours of the body. We have both trousers with textured cotton fabric and models with a velvety feel and a needlecord look. But the chunky texture of women’s corduroy trousers in a bootcut design also has a certain appeal. Trousers made of twill fabric have a finer weave. Alongside pure cotton trousers, there are also women’s bootcut jeans that are extra stretchy thanks to a percentage of elastane, meaning you can sit in comfort at any time.

Appliqués are a great way to add subtle accents or create distinctive designs: fabric appliqués emphasise the vintage look of bootcut jeans, while lace, sequins or floral embroidery add a feminine note. Statement patches and large studs have a culty look.

Women’s bootcut jeans for the office and the weekend

Bootcut jeans for women are suitable for party outfits as casual weekend trousers, but can also cut a fine figure in the office. Pair them with a wide blouse or tunic for a relaxed casual look. Blouse fabric with flowers or tribal patterns promises boho chic and hippie vibes. If you want to emphasise the folklore look, wear a bodywarmer over the blouse. Plain-coloured T-shirts and tops with a tighter fit have a more understated look. They look best paired with low-rise jeans or bootcut jeans with a high waistband. The sporty look of this close-fitting outfit is best emphasised with trainers and hoodies.

Bootcut jeans for women get a more elegant look paired with a silk blouse or fine knit jumper. This combination can also work in the office, depending on the dress code. For the office, bootcut jeans should ideally be made of black, unwashed denim. For a cocktail party or club on the other hand, heavily flared jeans with sparkling gemstones are the way to go. They would go great with a colourful blouse, court shoes and a leather jacket.
