FAQ – Oraije women's bootcut jeans
What's the difference between bootcut jeans, wide-leg jeans, and bell-bottoms?
Among the essential models, bootcut jeans, wide-leg jeans, and bell-bottoms are distinguished by their flared cut, although their appearance differs.
Less wide than wide-leg or flare jeans, the bootcut is among the most flattering cuts for many figures. Wide-leg jeans are loose from the hips to the ankles, while bell-bottoms are recognized by their retro style and their cut that is fitted at the thighs then very flared from the knee.
The difference between these models therefore mainly lies in the width of the leg and where the flare begins.
