Denims
- Cotton blends: Blending cotton with polyester, nylon, or elastane (spandex) offers wrinkle resistance, durability, and stretch for improved comfort and movement.
- Denim weight: Measured in ounces per square yard (oz/yd²) or grams per square meter (gsm). Lighter weights (around 10-12 oz/yd²) are ideal for warmer weather, while heavier weights (14 oz/yd² and above) offer more warmth and structure.
- Low rise: Sits below the hip bone for a more revealing look.
- Mid rise: The most common rise, sitting at the hip bone for a comfortable balance of coverage and fit.
- High rise: Offers maximum coverage, reaching up to or above the waist for a slimming and elongating effect.
- Straight leg: Classic style with a straight silhouette from hip to ankle.
- Bootcut: Slightly flared leg that opens up from the knee down, good for accommodating boots.
- Skinny fit: Tight-fitting throughout the leg for a sleek look.
- Slim fit: A more tailored fit than classic straight leg but not as tight as skinny.
- Wide leg: Full and flowing silhouette throughout the leg.
