Slim fit jeans are perfect for slender ladies. Slim fit jeans are designed to fit close through the seat and thigh, with a mid-rise or slightly low waist and a straight or slightly narrowing leg. Slim fit jeans are a tad more forgiving than the popular skinny fit jeans, which is great for those women who like to be fashionable but aren’t necessarily stick thin.
Slim fit jeans are widely available from shops in the high street as well as from online vendors. These jeans are usually a bit cheaper than the trendy skinny fit jeans. Most of the high-end designer denim labels make a slim fitting jean, which means you can have all the fashion credibility of a pair of cutting-edge designer jeans without sacrificing comfort. Some easy to find brands making slim fit jeans include Lee, Wrangler, Levi’s and Diesel.
Popular designer slim fit jeans available today are: Paige Premium Denim’s Melrose straight leg jean, Joe’s Jeans Harvey Muse, the Ingrid flare leg jean by Citizens of Humanity, Juicy Couture’s Callicut bootleg jean and 7 For All Mankind’s boot cut jeans. You’ll notice that the majority of these major labels don’t use the word ‘slim’ to describe their jeans – it’s a term used primarily in the lower-end of the denim market, though many of the styles are similar.
If you want to buy slim fit jeans online, the best thing to do is visit your local department store for a look at the leading labels. This gives you a chance to figure out what style suits you best, and also lets you see the merchandise for yourself so you know what the differences are between the real McCoy and a phony pair of jeans. Always make your online purchases from reputable merchants – and remember that if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
