Bootcut jeans

Bootcut jeans are back – and they are more flattering than ever. This timeless fit, with a slight flare from the knee, visually lengthens your legs and gives your silhouette a feminine boost. Discover why these jeans are a must in your wardrobe, how to style them, and which variant suits you best.

The name bootcut literally comes from the idea that these jeans should be worn over boots. Originally, the bootcut fit was designed for cowboys and laborers in the United States, who wore sturdy work shoes or cowboy boots under their jeans.

Bootcut jeans are tight around the hips and thighs, and subtly flare out from the knee. The slight flare from the knee ensured that the pant leg easily fell over the boot, without being too loose or too wide. Not as pronounced as flared jeans, but precisely because of that, perfectly balanced.

Originally popular in the 70s and 90s, bootcut jeans are now completely back – in modern washes, with stretch, and in high waisted models that highlight your figure. It has remained a timeless classic that regularly makes a comeback — like now!

Whether you are petite, curvy, or tall: the bootcut always does something good for your figure. Thanks to the subtly flared legs, a balance is created between your hips and ankles, while your legs appear visually longer. Choose a high waist model to emphasize your waist even more; the fit follows your body shape in a flattering way, without being too tight.

Pro-tip: Wear the bootcut jeans with heels or boots with a subtle heel for that "endless legs" effect.
