19 Types Of Jeans For Women To Keep Your Denim Game Strong

Hear us out: skinny jeans can be super comfy if you choose ones that actually fit you, instead of sizing down. They're form-hugging and pair well with almost every top, giving you a sleek silhouette. Did you know they were the preferred choice of trousers among French royalty? Versatile and stylish, they look great with crop tops just as much as with your favorite Chikankari kurta.

How To Style: Style them with a rather flowy top to balance the proportions of the outfit, especially with flowy kurtas and tunics. Then, you can wear a beautiful pair of juttis or flats for an overall indo-western aesthetic. 

Occasion To Wear: Truth be told, these are the only types of jeans you can also wear formally (depending on the style and colour) so opt for a simple pair in a dark colour paired with a nice blazer and camisole for a semi-formal evening.

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

How To Style: Depending on the fit of your black jeans, we recommend choosing the top with bright, light colours that complement the versatility of the black and bring in a new refreshed energy to the fit. We personally love wearing our black jeans with bright-sunny crop tops or oversized shirts. 

Occasion To Wear: For a semi formal evening, team these with a nice summer coat and wedges.

Made popular by the iconic Marilyn Monroe, who was first spotted wearing her boyfriend's jeans, the loose, baggy fit of this style 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 around your thighs. They pair well with a fitted tank top.

How To Style: Boyfriend jeans are perfect for everyday styling. We recommend pairing them with your go-to tank tops, t-shirts, oversized shirts, and even short kurtis, which are a popular choice among college students these days.

Occasion To Wear: Perfect for casual everyday wear, these will be your best friend when planning any laid-back outing.

Straight jeans are perfect if you're looking for a staple that's both comfy and stylish. They're ideal for sneakerheads, as they end right above the ankle, making them perfect for showing off your new kicks. Pair them with a solid round-neck tee to complete the look.

How To Style: As mentioned, you can style your straight-fit jeans with a round-neck tee, a snug t-shirt, or even a crop top to give your outfit a smart flow and structure. These jeans make for the perfect casual sporty look and are also great for showing off your treasured kicks.

Occasion To Wear: A non-fussy choice for casual outings, whether you're brunching with the girls or going on a last-minute date with bae.

You've probably seen pictures of your parents rocking a pair of bootcut jeans in their heyday. These jeans were originally worn by cowboys and farm folk so their boots could easily fit inside the flare, hence the name. The style has made a comeback and is perfect for those who love a touch of flamboyance in their outfits. Choose a pair with a slightly more subtle flare at the bottom and pair it with a crisp blouse and a shoulder bag to complete a boujee ensemble. 

How To Style: Bootcut jeans are perfect to wear with your flowy, puffy blouses, giving you the perfect sophisticated fit that works great for day events and outings. Style them with a solid pair of heels, and a long chic sling bag to complete the look. 

Occasion To Wear: Since these are great for day events and outings, as mentioned before, save them for your laid-back days and not for the office.

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. 

How To Style: Styling your flared jeans could be a little tricky in the beginning, but if you nail the styling, you can really make it a part of your everyday ensemble. You can try it with a baggy shirt, a tunic top, or even a waistcoat, which is all the rage right now. Finish off the look with a chunky pair of sneakers and a cute tote, to be right on the trend.

Occasion To Wear: Any casual outing when you want to be comfortable since the baggy fit gives you enough room to move around comfortably.  

Cargo jeans are another type of jeans for women that have quickly become a hot seller. These are equal parts comfy and stylish, thanks to the number of pockets they feature. Made popular in the '30s, they were originally worn by military personnel for their functionality. While they're typically made of cotton and other light fabrics, cargo jeans in a more durable fabric are also an excellent option for achieving the same look.

How To Style: A fitted top is the best choice to pair with your cargo pants. Because of the loose fit, a snugged top would create a level of coherence, and we really recommend finishing off the look with a great pair of sneakers. 

Occasion To Wear: Cargo jeans generally work well for casual outings; however, you can also spruce up your look for a less formal cocktail scene with the gang by pairing them with a nice bralette or tube top.

Our favourite high-waisted jeans were popularised in the 40s, when the workforce saw a significant influx of women employees. Designed for comfort during work, they're one of the best types of jeans for nearly every body type. High-rise jeans are both comfortable and stylish. Pair them with a tank top and a shirt, and you're ready to head out.

How To Style: High-waist jeans are the only jeans that should be allowed to exist and are perfect to be styled every day. The sky is literally the limit with them, and we recommend styling them with your everyday tank tops, spaghetti tops, Copenhagen tops, and crop tops in general. Complete the look with a stunning pair of sneakers and accessorise the whole fit with a beautiful shoulder bag. 

Occasion To Wear: You can wear these to casual events and even every day since they keep you supported at the waist.

A byproduct of the punk movement from the 70s, ripped jeans are often vilified for not being the most appropriate attire. However, they look super cool and grungy. Choose a pair with slight rips for casual days out or a concert. If you're not keen on showing too much skin, opt for ripped jeans with tears near or just below the knees.

How To Style: We recommend going bolder with your ripped jeans and balancing the grunge aesthetic with a feminine corset top. It's a super elegant yet edgy look that's perfect for special occasions. For an everyday look, style them with cute crop tops for the perfect casual fit.

Occasion To Wear: Strictly casual, you don't want to be spotted at your workplace or even at a nice restaurant wearing these no matter how popular these might be. 

Introduced by designer Sonja de Lennart in 1948, Capri jeans were all the rage a few years ago and continue to be, in slightly different designs. Pick one that's well-structured and slightly roomy for your next vacation. They're also a great style to throw on when you're having someone over or running a quick errand. 

How To Style: If you're wearing capri jeans in 2024, you should pair them with a pastel, light-coloured tank top and sporty ballet flats. For a vacation-ready look, you can also style them with an oversized button-down shirt and a beautiful pair of trendy kitten heels.

Occasion To Wear: These are perfect for lounging at home when you have errands to run, like a quick grocery trip, a salon session, or grabbing coffee on the go.

Patchwork jeans have a charm of their own, and if you're a DIY enthusiast, you can give your old jeans a fresh twist with your favourite patches. Just don't go overboard with the patches—make sure they're all in the same colour scheme. Alternatively, you can opt for some stylish, pre-designed ones that feature minimalist, fab designs.

How To Style: Patchwork jeans have a charm of their own, with intricate designs and patterns. To balance out the look, pair them with something simpler and more understated. A simple spaghetti strap top or a basic tube top works well to complement the focus on the patchwork.

Occasion To Wear: The quirkiness brought by the patches make these perfect for wearing to college with a nice kurti and juttis.

Overalls were made as a protective measure while doing physically demanding work, and continue to serve their purpose even today. You may have rocked your favourite overalls as a kid several times, but don't think they're out of style yet! A comfy pair of overalls are great for when you're pottering around in your home garden. They're super comfy, and can also be worn outdoors when coupled with a pretty tee and sneakers. 

How To Style: Overalls styling is the easiest, as they are almost a whole fit in themselves. We recommend wearing a tube top that looks super cute from the side, and always complete your overall look with a pair of chunky sneakers. 

Occasion To Wear: Something about these remind us of artists in Parisian movies so consider wearing on your next artsy date or when you are going gallery/museum hopping.

Structured like joggers that cinch at the waist and ankles, jogger jeans are perfect for when you want the comfort of joggers while still looking put together. They gained popularity among sneakerheads, offering a way to show off prized kicks without the denim covering them. Pair them with a body-hugging, full-sleeve tee before heading out.

How To Style: Your jogger jeans are perfect for layering during the winter season. You can style them with a basic shirt and a jumper, or with a long coat. For summer, pair them with polos or everyday t-shirts, and finish off the look with sneakers.

Occasion To Wear: Joggers are the ultimate casual wear, so you can wear them anywhere during the day for a laid-back look.

If you're a millennial, chances are these types of jeans are the bane of your existence. Their revival can be credited to designer Alexander McQueen in the '90s. While they can be uncomfortable, they look super fabulous. If you don't mind the discomfort or are heading out only for a few hours, pick a stretchable one to go with your crop tops. 

How To Style: The only way we recommend stepping out of skinny jeans is simply not to. But if you're trying to escape the discomfort of low-rise jeans, pair them with a comfortable oversized kurta or tunic. This will balance the proportions and keep the look from feeling off.

Occasion To Wear: The low waist style suits casual outings the best, be it in the day or night.

Jeggings are made with denim blended with a softer, stretchy fabric to mimic the look of jeans. However, they're extremely comfortable and don't make you feel restricted like true denim, making them an ideal choice if you're on the go all day. Choose a pair with well-stitched seams so they resemble true denim. Unlike regular denim, make sure to wash jeggings regularly.

How to Style: Style your high-waisted jeggings with a crop top, tunic, or a peplum top, and nail your everyday look while feeling comfortable and on-trend.

Occasion To Wear: Since these are body-fitted and look much sleeker than other types of jeans, you can totally get away with wearing these to a formal dinner or a work meeting too.

Popular in the 1980s, pleated jeans were designed to increase mobility around the hips. They are similar to loose-fit jeans, but with extra gathering around the waist, giving them more structure. Pleated jeans add comfort and give the look an edgy, interesting twist, making them a great option for everyday wear.

How to Style: The most-loved Pinterest way to style pleated jeans is with a basic oversized shirt, but it can also be styled with a plain white tee, minimal accessories, and a sleek hairdo. 

Occasion To Wear: The comfort fit makes these a popular choice for wearing for casual day outings.

To taper means to "bring in." This pair has an inverted silhouette, feeling loose and comfy at the top while becoming clean and sharp toward the bottom, thanks to the subtle alteration around the leg opening. A tapered pair of jeans gradually narrows toward the ankle and is especially popular among those who love their joggers.

How to Style: To complete the look, wear slightly oversized white tees, a cool pair of sneakers, and sunglasses. You can also wear loose-fitted shirts here. We saw florals as the choice of Pinterest girlies.

Occasion To Wear: Like most types of jeans, these ones too are great for casual looks. Team these with a nice top for a more feminine outfit.

Another type of jeans that has become a hot trend to wear! Barrel jeans feature a fitted waist and a wide leg that tapers at the ankles, creating a balloon-like, flared-out fit at the thighs. They suit pear-shaped bodies the best but can also be flattering for hourglass figures, as they draw attention to the waist. Pair them with a fitted tank top, a nice cardigan, or a crisp white shirt, but avoid loose-fitting silhouettes, as they can make the overall look bulky.

How To Style: For a model off-duty look, wear your barell jeans with a ganji top, a pair of vinyl heels and a nice mini bag with your hair tied up in a bun.

Occasion Suited For: Perfect for anything casual, like a shopping spree at the mall, when you want to look chic but still stay comfortable.

Jorts had a moment in fashion in 2024 but slowly went away from our feeds which we are kind of glad about since pulling off these is not everyone's cup of tea. These jeans are a style of shorts that have a more relaxed fit and are slightly longer, channeling the classic jeans with a 'lazy-boy' take on them.

How To Style: A classic, comfortable, and supremely stylish way to hop on the jorts trend is to pair them with denim on denim. It's sophisticated, relatively formal, and looks chic. The similar silhouettes create a flow to the outfit that adds an edge. And making sure you accessorise correctly is key to taking the fit to the next level.

Occasion To Wear: Your summery day outings when you want to go for a chill, athletic look.
