Can you tell me whats the difference between girls jeans & boys jeans. how we know which type the jeans is... wht are the different types of jeans.. thanks
Dear Annymous, Jeans are available in sizes for everyone - men, women, misses, juniors, boys, girls, little boys and girls, and special sizes or cuts for the tall, petite, slim or large person. What size and type to buy will be influenced by:
-Your measurements -Your body build -Your body or figure contour - male vs. female -Styling details Generally, men's and boys' jeans are sized and purchased by waist size and inseam measurement. Boys' jeans may be sold by size number, such as 8 to 18. Misses' and women's jeans are sold by garment size, such as Misses 8, 10, 12, etc., or women's sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, and so forth. In some instances, you buy by waist size. Girls, little boys, and little girls size categories are also sold by size number.
Jeans are cut to fit various body shapes, too. For example, some men's jeans have full-cut styling and are available in regular and extra or big sizes. Jeans with full-cut styling are cut wider in the seat and thigh and longer in the rise (crotch area) for a more comfortable fit. In fact, the major jeans companies now have trademark names for cut of jeans, such as Levi's "Silvertab," which is a baggier fit with tapered ankle, or Levi's "Looser Fit," which is cut fuller in the seat, thigh, and knees. Lee's "Relaxed Fit" is cut for loose fit in seat and thigh. Other general terms used may include "cowboy cut," "relaxed fit," "full cut," or "loose fit." Boys' jeans are available in regular, slim, and husky cuts. Girls size pants are offered in three size types to accommodate slender, average, and fuller body types. Junior girls sizes accommodate the slim silhouette. Misses sizes are available in a wide range, and in proportioned lengths.
If girls want to purchase men's jeans, refer to special conversion charts available at stores, in retail catalogs, or on some product charts. Use women's hip measurement to compare with men's waist measurement on the chart. A general guide is, if female measurements fall between, go to smaller size for close fit and larger size for fuller fit. Remember, a female's waist-hip contour and proportions differ from a male's. Men's jeans still may not fit close to the waist without alteration, and the jean's waist will not be at the natural waistline of a female.
Special styling, such as contour waistlines and extra leg width at knee or calf, influence your choice. You may prefer jeans cut and sized by one manufacturer.
