A trusty pair of denims that suit your body are an absolute must-have in your wardrobe. Whether you're out running errands, or heading out for a party, your jeans can be dressed up and down and last you for years when maintained well (that means you don't wash them as often.) However, you don't have to pick denims that stick to your body and make you uncomfortable. You can get your hands on super comfy ones too. Before you shop for some, here are 15 different types of jeans every woman must own in her wardrobe. 

Pro Tip: Guide to buying jeans.

Skinny Jeans

Hear us out, skinny jeans can be super comfy if you pick ones that are actually your size instead of sizing them down. They're form-hugging and go well with almost every top out there giving you a sleek silhouette. Did you know that they were the preferred choice of trousers among French royalty? They're versatile, and are great with crop tops as they are with your favourite Chikankari kurta.

Black Jeans

Rumour has it that the first pair of black denims were spotted on Elvis Presley. While traditional jeans are mostly in different washes of blue, a classic black pair of denims is another staple in your wardrobe that you can wear for various occasions. While black jeans also come in various washes, they're best worn in a solid colour.

Made popular by the iconic Marilyn Monroe who was first spotted wearing her boyfriend's jeans, the loose baggy fit of this type of jeans for women has remained popular since the 60s. If you can't be bothered with the skinny fit, opt for baggy boyfriend jeans that are tighter at the waist and hang loose on your thighs. They work well with a fitted tank top.

Bootcut Jeans

You've probably seen pictures of your parents donning a pair of bootcut jeans in their heyday. They were first worn by cowboys and farm folk so their boots can easily fit inside the flare, and hence the name. The style has made a comeback and is perfect for folks who love some flamboyant element in their outfits. Choose one with slightly lesser flare at the bottom and pair it with a crisp blouse and a shoulder bag to complete a boujee ensemble.

Flared Jeans

Interestingly, flare jeans were worn by sailors in the 19th century since it was easier to grab them if they were ever to fall overboard. Currently, flared denims are the rage among Gen Z who prefer comfort over everything else. Pair them with your favourite kicks, a baggy shirt and a bucket hat. If you don't mind the flamboyant look, pick ones with a bigger flare.

Jeggings

Jeggings are made with denim blended with a softer, stretchy fabric to mimic the look of a pair of jeans. However, they're extremely comfy and don't make you feel restricted like true denims which makes them an ideal choice if you're out and about all day. Pick one with well-stitched seams so it looks like true denim. Unlike regular denims, make sure you wash these regularly.
