-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOW RISE HIPSTER JEANS
A perfect key piece for your summer wardrobe! Show off some skin in these summer essentials – the low rise of this style is cool to wear but looks oh-so-hot! The low rise cut usually a tight fit to the hips and bottom, so it’s best to look for stretch denim in low rise jeans, allowing you to achieve that seriously sought after spray-on denim effect!
The low rise shortens the pelvis and bottom, instantly adding curve to the derriere and length to the legs in one fell swoop! A low rise cut provides the ultimate look for anyone looking for maximum denim sex-appeal and wanting to turn up the heat this season!

HIGH RISE CORSET JEANS
Bang on trend this season! High rise jeans are an incredibly flattering jeans style which dramatically lengthens legs and flatters tums. And they’re so versatile too: the long line and clean styling create a slimming effect for shorter women, and the higher fit on the body is particularly popular with taller girls who find the fit and extra vertical coverage of these jeans more comfortable to wear.
The high rise cut can be accompanied by a wide flared leg or a slim leg, as well as our trendy favourite, the skinny leg. With such a choice of cuts, and with features to flatter all body shapes, there’s a pair of high rise jeans to suit everyone.

SKINNY DRAINPIPE JEANS
The most leg emphasizing of cuts and the most iconic of styles! Skinny jeans hit the jeans scene around two years ago, and while it was hailed a fad by some, this cutting edge style has shown serious staying power! With the advent of the drainpipe’s nemesis, the contrastingly wide boyfriend jeans, we have been forced to consider the fate of the skinny. However, the skinny has held strong owing to its wealth of celebrity support and unbeatable ability to create instant cool.
Skinny jeans are still one of the hottest styles around, favored by style icon and skinny jeans pioneer, Kate Moss and as well as denim trend setter Victoria Beckham; two fashionistas who just know how to rock denim, and who we know are never wrong when it comes to sporting the hottest styles.
The skinny leg can be styled with a range of rise heights, all of which offer enticing degrees of comfort and flattery. Likewise, skinny jeans are versatile enough to style to your taste; they’re smart enough to be worn to work, sexy enough to be teamed with heels for a night out, as well as being equally fitting as casual yet fashionable day wear!

SLIM / STRAIGHT JEANS
For those looking for that sleek fitted silhouette, but not wanting to go to skinny-extremes, the slim cut comes as a welcome solution. Known by a number of style-illustrating names, whether it be “Pencil Fit”, “Cigarette Cut” or just plain and simple “Slim Cut”, these jeans are what they say they are: not skinny, not straight, but perfectly slim-cut. And slimming too! These are a really versatile style which look great in grey denim and are especially slimming in darker shades.
This flattering slim cut style can be dressed up or down for smart and casual day wear, as well as more intricate evening ensembles. Current trends have seen increase in rise heights for slim cut jeans, making them a real happy medium – especially when tailored in comfortable stretch denim, making them sleeker and more elegant than ever.
The long line and clean styling of slim cut jeans create a slimming effect that’s favoured by those looking for a slimming and lengthening effect.

BOOTCUT JEANS
These figure flattering strides have carved their way as a real classic in the world of denim. Thanks to their gently flared lower leg they balance and flatter the entire body in an instant. Bootcut jeans look funky with flats and stunning with stilettos, and are versatile enough to take every degree of styling in between!
Bootcut jeans can be cut with higher waistlines for those looking for a more comfortable fit, and lower rises for an incredibly sexy feel. They look great in this season’s favoured shade of light blue and they look incredibly smart in darker shades of indigo and black.
SKINNY BOOTCUT JEANS
The newest twist on the bootcut and skinny cut is the skinny bootcut! This cutting edge style offers all the figure hugging allure of the traditional skinny combined with a slight flare towards the cuff. Great if you’re looking for a slightly different look, or if you’re after a bit more balance than regular skinnies have to offer. By flaring out at the cuff they help to balance the width of the bottom – great if you’re looking for a slimming effect from your jeans!

BOYFRIEND JEANS
Another totally trendy style! This style has gained favour for the comfort and style that they offer. Pull on a pair of these must-have boy style jeans and you’ll see how they create a look of instant cool – that sought after laid-back look, just perfect for summer!
Boyfriend jeans look great with casual tops and flats, and can be sharpened with a tailored jacket. And they’re particularly good for skimming over thighs and tums, as well as flattering curvaceous bums!
Although boy fit jeans are usually made from non-stretch denim for boy-style authenticity, the comfort comes from the cut. Generous thighs and loose fits through hips mean that they’re really comfy to wear – both looking and feeling like a broken-in firm favorite from word go!

FLARED JEANS
A brand new flared trend with a retro twist! Here we have the return of the flare! Just like with boyfriend jeans, this up to the minute trend may be seen as an extreme reaction to the skinny styles that have been so popular over recent years. So far removed from the calf hugging drainpipe cut, flared jeans offer an easy to wear solution for denim trend followers who want a little more room in their strides! A popular cut for this style also encompasses a higher waistband, bringing together the elongating effect of the high waist and the balancing effect of the wide cuff, flared jeans are so flattering to wear!
Wide leg flares have a wide cut through the length of the leg, and kick flares are more fitted to the hip and thigh with a dramatic flare from knee to cuff. The more generous cut of flare is particularly favoured by women looking to draw attention away from hips and thighs and a skinnier cut kick-flare gives a really hot look!
