The word "jeans" refers to those famous blue canvas pants (or any other trendy color!) that have become a wardrobe essential. Denim, on the other hand, is the fabric used to make jeans. Note: "denim" is a contraction of the words "de Nîmes", referring to the city of origin of the now mythical sergé de Nîmes or Denim.

You can feel the quality of a pair of jeans just by touching it. The fabric is often softer, a little thinner, but tightly woven. The seams are even and straight, and the buttons, rivets and zippers are of superior quality. Good jeans can be worn for years.

Often, but not always. Originally, denim was almost exclusively made of cotton. Today, we love the comfort of jeans with a slight stretch or blends of fibers like viscose or polyester.

Denim has proven itself as a wardrobe essential, and not for nothing. While purists prefer non-stretch denim, there are many other options cut from a softer, lighter denim. As for fit, comfort is very subjective. Well-fitted jeans should sit comfortably at the waist without constricting it too much, and the material should allow you to move freely. Get rid of jeans that are hard to breathe in!

We believe the most stylish jeans are the ones you feel good in. That said, some standout styles this year include barrel jeans, low-rise cuts, jorts and relaxed-fit jeans for men. When it comes to style, the only limit is your imagination!

The word "jeans" has its origins in the name of the city of Genoa, Italy. English ships docked at the port of Genoa to load the fabric called "Bleu de Gênes" (blue jeans) to export it to America, and that's how the word "jeans" got into the history books.

The barrel cut features a slightly rounded leg—roomier through the hips and thighs, then tapered at the ankle. It creates a flattering, structured silhouette while offering all-day comfort. Stylish and easy to wear, it’s a growing favourite across all ages.
