Skinny Jeans and Boot Cut Jeans - What's the Difference?

Jeans

Jeans are often described as casual wear but in fact they were first invented for workwear, and with today's ever changing fashion jeans can now be worn dressed up for evening wear. There are many different styles and cuts of jeans from hundreds of designers and brands including Diesel, Armani, Miss Sixty, G Star, Wrangler and more. Two of the most popular cuts of jeans today are the boot cut and the skinny. Both cuts are quite different from each other for several reasons; here is a closer look at the bootcut and skinny style.

Skinny jeans were first introduced to us in America in the 1960s worn by mostly women. They had a very diverse look to them where you could dress it up as casual wear like the girl next door, or you could funk it up rock and roll style which was on the horizon and coming of age. Skinny jeans are just as the name suggests skinny all the way down your leg to the ankle. In the 1970s they were the rockers most staple item of clothing, the skinnier the better and the more of a rocker you were. Even through to the 80s skinnies were popular and so were leggings, with baggy oversized jumpers. It was only in the early 1990s that skinny jeans weren't fashionable on the high street but still remained cool in music and rock n roll. It's not until 2005/6 that they become popular for the general public again, and now they are back they are really back. Everyone but everyone is wearing them, celebrities, music artists, and the general public.

Boot Cut Jeans

Boot cut jeans are different to skinny jeans in style because where skinny jeans are skin tight all the way up and down the leg boot cut jeans are skinny to the knee and then flare out a little to the ankle to make way for the boot. Mens boot cut differ in that they are fairly open all the way up and down the leg. The bootcut style was first introduced to the world by sailors who wore them as work wear, and the style was later adopted by the teen world of America. Still to this day boot cut jeans are one of the most popular styles of jeans.
