The history of jeans

Jeans are now a ubiquitous part of men's fashion, both in our closets and on the cat walks of the world's top designers, but this is far from being a recent innovation. In fact, its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when it was sold in the form of fabrics known as "futaines".

Solid and resistant, this material developed until it reached the United States, where it became a real success and was used to make pants. Initially designed for workers, jeans were later democratized and became one of the most popular garments worldwide.

Today, jeans can be found not only in pants and other garments such as shorts and jackets, but also as decorative items and household linen. Sometimes faded, sometimes ripped, from darker to lighter, denim offers a wide range of possibilities.

In addition to the classic denim fabric, there are also a huge number of denim pieces. Without being a connoisseur, it's hard to tell the difference between these two closely related materials. However, denim is not only more affordable, but also more elastic and therefore more comfortable to wear, which is why it is increasingly used in the design of clothing, particularly men's jeans.

The different cuts of men's jeans

Colors, rips, washed or un-washed effects and, above all, different cuts: there are a multitude of men's jeans to choose from. Here's a quick overview of the most common cuts of men's jeans, to help you find your way around and choose from among all the pants we have to offer.

  • Bootcut: bootcut jeans are cut fairly close to the body at the thighs, but wider at the calves, with a wide opening at the ankles. Without going so far as to call them bell-bottoms, these jeans were designed to allow men to wear boots under their jeans, so they flare out at the bottom.
  • Cargo: Cargo jeans are derived from military pants, which feature numerous thigh pockets. Slightly flared all the way down the leg, they are then tightened at the ankles to allow them to be slipped easily into boots.
  • Boyfriend: the boyfriend cut is ideal for comfortable, casual wear. Available only in low-rise or very low-rise cuts, these jeans are loose enough at the thighs, then tighten slightly at the bottom, particularly at the ankles.
  • Regular: Regular jeans are straight, classic and timeless. More flared than a slim or skinny, these jeans are designed to be straight from top to bottom. The advantage of this model is that it suits absolutely all body shapes and occasions.
  • Slim: it's hard to imagine that this cut didn't exist before the 2000s, such is its popularity today. Cut close to the body with a narrow opening at the ankles, these jeans fit perfectly to the wearer's body shape.
  • Straight: straight jeans are the perfect compromise between regular and slim. They are both straight and slightly flared, like regular jeans, but tighter at the ankles, like slim jeans. The result is a trendy fit that doesn't constrict the thighs.
  • Skinny: skinny jeans are extra-slim jeans that are very tight from top to bottom, and tightened at the ankle. Very popular with those who pay attention to their style, this cut of men's jeans is the closest fit you'll find.

Which cut for which body type?

In practice, everyone can wear whatever they like, but each cut of men's jeans is more or less adapted to the individual's morphology, and will enhance some people better than others. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right jeans for you:

You're slim: the best way to highlight your assets is to avoid jeans that are too baggy, such as baggys, which risk creating too great a contrast in volume between your legs and the rest of your body. Similarly, avoid skinny or super-skinny jeans, which can make you look skinny. For the rest, no problem, you can turn to a pair of men's boyfriend jeans, straight jeans, regular jeans and so on.

You're athletic: athletic men are those with a muscular lower body, especially in the legs. To highlight your morphology, we recommend a regular, boyfriend, straight or even slim cut if you want to show off your muscular legs. As a general rule, avoid loose-fitting cuts that will hide the shape of your legs.

You're a big man: "big" men are those with broad shoulders and a relatively muscular body overall. For this type of body type, we recommend straight or loose-fitting men's jeans that balance the figure, such as bootcut, cargo or regular. On the other hand, tight-fitting cuts such as skinny or slim are not recommended, as they may create too much contrast between the upper and lower body, compressing the legs.

You have wide hips: in this case, we recommend avoiding low-rise men's jeans, which could reinforce the wide appearance of your hips. Similarly, jeans that are too tight, such as slims or skinnies, should be avoided. Instead, opt for a regular, bootcut or boyfriend cut, which will harmonize your silhouette by adding a little extra legroom.

If you're more of a round man: as for men with wide hips, the ideal is to create harmony between your hips and legs by wearing flared jeans such as bootcut or boyfriend. On the other hand, we'd advise you to avoid men's cargo jeans, which could add extra volume to your thighs. Likewise, don't wear slim or skinny jeans, which may make you look fatter because they're too tight.

Whatever your morphology, it's important to remember that the men's jeans that fit you best are those in which you feel comfortable. Don't hesitate to order several types of jeans so you can try them on and decide for yourself which ones you prefer to wear. Likewise, certain types of jeans, such as regular or straight, are more suited to being worn with a shirt tucked into pants, while slims and skinnies are better suited to being worn with T-shirts.
