Women's jeans

The first jeans were made in the 19th century, when Levi Strauss came up with the idea of making trousers out of denim. They first became work trousers, favoured especially by gold miners during the gold rush, but then in the 1950s they were made famous by James Dean and, for women in particular, by Marilyn Monroe, who wore them in the film Mustangs. Jeans were seen as a symbol of the rebellion of the younger generation. Today it is different and jeans are a must-have staple in any streetwear wardrobe. Having one quality, well-fitting pair of women's jeans in your stash will be your secret ace up your sleeve. Really. They're perfect for when you don't know what to wear in the morning and need to get out of the house quickly. Just grab a white short-sleeved shirt, a sweatshirt or a jacket and you're good to go! The jeans go with the aforementioned sweatshirt, sweater, as well as with a looser jacket or canvas jacket. Popular jeans styles include skinny jeans, slim jeans, boyfriend jeans or high-waisted jeans. When it comes to colour, reach for light jeans for warm summer days and dark jeans when it gets cold and snowy outside.

Don't like what's on offer? Make your own custom. An unknown fashion piece that could be styled better than just jeans. You can make holes in them, because ripped women's jeans are still cool; paint them, sew or iron on different pictures, cut off the end of the legs to make them fray, or cut off old jeans and make them into shorts. Then write lines somewhere, how many people will ask you where you got the shorts from.

We recommend trying the jeans on properly and really making sure you feel comfortable in them and that you like yourself. If you don't feel that way, look for others. At Footshop, we recommend Levi's, Calvin Klein Jeans or Tommy Jeans.
