Boot Cut vs. Tapered: The Best Jeans?

Brian Johansson

When it comes to finding the perfect pair of jeans comfort is
everything. You should ideally be looking for the perfect mix of
style and comfort. Jeans need to look good but more importantly
feel good. When it comes to selecting a pair I think it is
always best to go to several stores that specialize in denim and
try on a few pairs until you find what works for you. One of the
important aspects of a pair of jeans is whether or not they will
work with the rest of your wardrobe. Your choice of shoes can
dictate how wide you want the ankle of your jeans to be cut.

Boot cut jeans are jeans that fit normally throughout the rest
of the jean, but the ankle of the jean is cut wider to allow
them to sit lower and more comfortable over a pair of shoes.
Tapered jeans are cut with a slimmer ankle that is tighter as
the leg goes down. If you are looking for a more comfortable
look that is cut to be worn with many of today's shoe styles you
may want to look into boot cut jeans. Since jeans are becoming
more acceptable in the business world they are often being worn
with dressier shoes and need to be a little wider to allow for
the shoes to look natural with the jeans. Tapered jeans tend to
be more traditional looking and are popular especially in women.
Most men's jeans are being cut a little wider to sit more
comfortably without feeling constricted. Some men still choose
to go with tapered jeans if they often wear taller boots.

Whatever your decision make sure to try on several pairs from
several different companies before making your decision.
Remember to think about your wardrobe when making your decision.
