Silhouettes

The silhouette refers to the overall shape of the jean. Silhouettes can range from skinny (very form fitting) to baggy (very relaxed) and everything in between.

Skinny Jeans and Jeggings

Plus size skinny jeans fit close through the hips, thighs and legs. They work well under tall boots and pair easily with tunics, sweaters, blouses, tees and jackets. Jeggings offer a similarly close silhouette with added stretch and a flexible feel. Torrid jeggings include options with supportive waistbands, multiple washes and various levels of stretch. They are a practical choice when you want the appearance of denim with a fit that moves more like a legging.

Straight-Leg Jeans

Straight-leg jeans maintain a relatively consistent width from the thigh toward the ankle. They offer a classic, balanced shape that falls between skinny and wide-leg denim. Plus size straight-leg jeans are very versatile and can be worn with nearly any type of top or shoe. Pair them with a tucked-in shirt and loafers for a polished look, or add a graphic tee and sneakers for an everyday outfit.

Boyfriend Jeans

Boyfriend jeans have a relaxed shape through the hips and thighs with a straighter or slightly tapered leg. They are designed to create a casual, lived-in look while maintaining a defined fit at the waist. Style boyfriend jeans with a fitted tank, tee or bodysuit, then add sneakers, sandals or ankle boots. A rolled or cropped hem can draw attention to your footwear and create a lighter look around the ankle.

Bootcut Jeans

Bootcut jeans have a wider leg opening than straight and boyfriend jeans, giving you enough room to wear the hem over boots while maintaining a streamlined shape. They are a versatile choice for casual, work and going-out outfits. Pair plus size bootcut jeans with ankle boots, western boots, heels or flats. A dark or clean wash can be dressed up with a blouse and blazer, while distressed or faded denim works well with casual tees and sweaters.

Flare Jeans

Plus size flare jeans are fitted through the waist, hips and thighs before widening below the knee. They are similar to bootcut jeans, but offer a wider flare out at the bottom of the leg. The shape creates a long, dramatic silhouette and pairs especially well with platforms, wedges, heeled boots, and pointed-toe shoes. Choose a high-rise flare jean for a defined waist or a mid-rise flare for a more relaxed fit. Dark-wash flare jeans can create a polished outfit for work or evenings, while light washes offer a more casual denim look.

Wide-Leg Jeans

Plus size wide-leg jeans are fitted or relaxed through the waist and hips before opening into a wider shape through the leg. The fuller silhouette creates movement and works well with fitted tops, bodysuits, tucked-in blouses and cropped jackets. Wide-leg denim can be styled casually with sneakers or dressed up with heels, boots and a structured top. Choose a high-rise pair for more coverage through the midsection or a mid-rise fit for a more relaxed position on the body.

Relaxed and Baggy Jeans

Relaxed and baggy jeans provide more room through the hips, thighs and legs. These fits are ideal when you want a looser, free, 90s style denim silhouette. Wear relaxed jeans with a close-fitting tee or tank to balance the wider shape, or pair them with an oversized shirt for a laid-back head-to-toe look. Cuffed hems, sneakers and casual sandals can give baggy jeans an easy everyday finish.

Torrid's rigid stretch denim is a unique, hybrid approach to denim stretch. This denim option features standard, 100% cotton, no-stretch denim in the front paired with a stretch denim in the rear.

How your Height Influences Inseam Length

Your height determines your baseline "standard" inseam length for jeans. This is how you measure your jeans inseam length:

What you need:

• Flexible measuring tape
• This is preferred since it will contour to your body, but a standard "tape measure" will also work
• A partner
• You can measure yourself, but it is easier when you have someone else to take the measurements

How to Measure:

1. Stand on a flat surface
2. Take the tape measure and, starting at the groin, extend the tape down to the ankle.
3. The measured number is your "standard" inseam length.

Picking the Right Inseam Length for each Jean Silhouette

Skinny and straight-leg jeans often end near the ankle or extend to the top of the foot. Wide-leg, bootcut and flare jeans should normally sit just below the ankle. They need just enough length to maintain the intended shape without dragging on the ground. Cropped jeans are intentionally shorter and typically end above the ankle or lower calf, depending on the style.

How Shoe Selection influences Jeans Inseam Lengths

The shoes you plan to wear also influence the sizing. Flatter shoes like flats and loafers look best with an inseam reduction between 1-2 inches. For sneakers and mid-top shoes, keep your regular inseam length. With boots, you typically add 1-2 inches of length. Of course, personal style is always subjective, so these are just general considerations. Torrid offers denim in multiple inseam lengths, including extra short, short, regular, tall and extra tall on select styles. Length availability varies by product, so be sure to check each product page for the correct inseam length measurements.
