What are balloon jeans?
Looser than skinny, slim, and cigarette pants, balloon jeans are wide-leg jeans that structure the silhouette. Unlike bootcut and flarestyles, they are not flared and have a more "loose" feel, which gives them a chic yet modern look.
Fitted at the hips, they widen with a slight fullness around the thighs, before subtly tapering at the bottom of the leg. Whether you have curves or are slender, these are the perfect trousers for a trendy style.

What is the difference between balloon jeans, boyfriend jeans, and palazzo jeans?
Balloon jeans are distinguished by their loose fit at the hips, then tapering towards the ankle, close to a carrot shape. Boyfriend jeans, on the other hand, have a straighter and more relaxed cut throughout the leg, inspired by men's wardrobes.
For their part, palazzo jeansare wide and fluid trousers that visually lengthen the leg. Unlike balloon or boyfriend cuts, they do not taper at the ankle and offer a more airy drape. Choosing your jeans from these different cuts therefore depends primarily on the desired effect.
What shoes to wear with balloon trousers?
Balloon trousers lend themselves to many combinations. Flat shoes like ballet flats bring lightness to the silhouette, while wedges or boots lengthen the leg.
Whether in blue denim, black, dark greyor with a faded effect, this model accompanies you to the office, everyday, or for more dressed-up events.
