AG Jeans The Ballad style is a slim bootcut jean. I know we are sometimes confused as to what “slim boot” refers to. Is it a slimmer fit through the thigh with a normal bootcut leg opening? Or is it just a slimmer bootcut leg opening? The Ballad is slim all the way through the leg and the leg opening. It’s very similar to a straight leg. The Ballad has a slightly bigger leg opening (at 14.75″) when comparing it to AG’s Charlotte Straight Leg (with a 13.5″ leg opening) . The Ballad has a 7.25” front rise, it’s 13.5” at the knee and has a bottom leg opening of 14.75”.

We’ve been asked before about the difference between the AG Ex-Boyfriend and the AG Tomboy. Both styles are considered relaxed straight legs with leg openings around 15/16″ but the Ex-Boyfriend is in general more relaxed than the Tomboy. The Tomboy is relaxed through the thigh, but is more versatile because you can wear it slouchy, or it fits a curvier girl like a true straight leg.
AG Tomboy 8" front rise, 15.75" at the knee, 15.75" leg opening
AG Ex-Boyfriend 9.25" front rise, 16" at the knee, 15" leg opening
“The Dojo is our original 5-pocket trouser jean. It sits low on the hips with a slightly higher rise in the back and a full wide leg opening. The classic Dojo features embroidered ’7′ back pockets and a wide trouser style hem This style is also available with a variety of clean and novelty pockets and regular hem.” -7 for All Mankind
For the women who like a sexy silhouette but think skinny jeans just aren’t for them, 7 for All Mankind Dojo’s are a practical, stylish answer to your denim dilemma! The slight graduation in rise from front to back provides a little bit of extra coverage, but still sits low enough for a modern, hip hugging fit. Because this style is cut straight through the hips and thighs it’s flattering on just about every body type from athletic to voluptuous. The trouser style makes them work appropriate for those casual days at the office and adds a bit of class to a laid back evening ensemble. Wear these with sky high stilettos to accentuate the wide leg look and make your legs look miles long!
“The Skinny is our newest skinny fit in super stretch. Characterized by its minimal detailing and clean pockets, it has a comfortable rise with a slim, sexy, and fitted silhouette top to bottom. The length hits just below the ankle to maintain a clean line with no stacking.” – 7 For all Mankind
Dress these up with pumps for a night out or dress them down with flats for an every day look. At Shop LA Style The Skinny by 7 For All Mankind comes in two washes, Worn Indigo and Worn Blue Black.

___________________________________________________________________________
Joe’s Jeans Provocateur [petite fit] has a shorter inseam and a higher knee break to elongate the leg. Specifically designed with petite girls in mind - finally, a jean we don’t have to hem before we wear them! Think Eva Longoria.

Joe’s Jeans Honey [booty fit] is for the curvy girl. Fitted at the waist and contoured for the ultra feminine, voluptuous physique. Whether or not a Honey is right for you is not about weight or size, but more about body shape. Even if you’re a tiny size 24, but more curvy than straight up and down, Honey will be a great fit. Ever tried on a pair of jeans that looks good from the front but has a big gap in the back of the waistband? Honey is for you. Typically a bootcut, but also now available in a skinny as well. Think Jessica Alba.

Joe’s Jeans Muse [sophisticated fit] is a bootcut with a slightly higher rise for a little more coverage – perfect for ladies who don’t like low rise jeans. No need to worry about showing too much when you bend over in these jeans! Moms everywhere love the Muse because of that forgiving extra inch in the rise – but it’s way more glamorous than a typical “mom jean”. Our most popular Joe’s style! Think Jennifer Garner.

Joe’s Jeans Socialite [classic fit] is for girls who fall in the middle of the spectrum – not too curvy, not too straight. A perfect bootcut, the Socialite gives the illusion of a long, sexy silhouette. Also available in a cropped style – the Socialite Kicker. Think Jennifer Aniston.

Joe’s Jeans Rocker [lean flare fit] has a slim fit through the hips and thighs, kicking out to a slight flare leg opening. This is the lowest rise Joe’s style. Even though the Rocker is considered a “slimmer” fit, Joe’s always keeps a woman’s body in mind, so it’s not super-skinny through the thigh. Think Angelina Jolie.

Joe’s Jeans Cigarette [straight and narrow fit] is straight from the knee down and fits like a classic Socialite through the hips and thigh. The Cigarette is for a girl who wants variation from the regular bootcut, but doesn’t want to go super skinny. An easy jean to wear both casual and dressy. Think Gwyneth Paltrow.

Joe’s Jeans Chelsea [ultra slim fit] is tapered from the knee down – the skinniest of all Joe’s styles. Fits like a classic Socialite through the hips and thigh, so the biggest difference between this jean and the Cigarette is how it fits from the knee down. Great for wearing tucked into boots or with super high heels. Also available in an ankle length that looks great with flats. Think Cameron Diaz.
