HOW TO READ THE LABEL OF A PANT WITHOUT DYING IN ATTEMPT

Shopping and understanding the labels on pants is becoming increasingly difficult. With such a variety of models, fit and terminologies... What pants am I buying?

Even for me it´s sometimes difficult. Since it isn´t an easy task, here are some descriptions that may help you:


1. The first thing you should look at when you take the label of a pants is to look at the type of fit it has. The most common fits are usually:

  • Skynny fit: very very tight pants both at the hip and the leg towards the ankle.

  • Slim fit: tight pants, but not as tight as skinny pants. A little less tight at the ankle.

  • Mom fit: pants usually high rise, looser at the hips and more fitted towards the leg and ankle.

  • Straight or Regular fit: classic trouser fit, it is not fitted and is usually quite straight.



2. Después debes fijarte en el tiro del pantalón, que puede ser

  • Low Waist: at the height of the hip

  • Mid rise: below the navel

  • High rise: above the navel.





3. Finally you should look at the width of the leg. Here we can find pants of the type:

  • Flare: flared towards the end of the leg

  • Flare crop: they are like the flare but shorter, like above the ankle bone. Highly recommended for short girls.

  • Culotte: pants that go straight from the hip to the mid-leg.

  • Jogger: pants with rubber that fit at the ankle. A fit very typical of a tracksuit

  • Palazzo: pants with a very wide leg and straight from the contour.

  • Tailoring: pants that fit the leg but reach the beginning of the ankle.

Apart from these models we can find others such as:

  • Slouchy: they tend to bulge at the hips.

  • Baggy: waist always with elastic and very tight.

  • Cargo: military style pants. They always have patch pockets on the leg.

  • Paper bag: pants that gather at the waist with a bow.


I hope that after these tips and descriptions, your purchase of pants and jeans will be easier.
