FIND YOUR FIT: A GUIDE TO WOMEN'S JEANS

Wide leg jeans

Relaxed from the hip all the way to the hem, wide leg jeans are easy to wear and help lengthen your legs. Wear them with a heel or platform for a long, lean line.

Straight leg jeans

The everyday classic. Straight leg jeans are the same width at the knee and the hem, so they suit almost every body shape and go with everything.

Barrel leg jeans

The denim trend of the moment. Barrel leg jeans curve out through the knee and come back in at the ankle for a rounded, relaxed shape that shows off your shoes.

Skinny jeans

Fitted from hip to ankle with plenty of stretch, skinny jeans tuck into boots and pair perfectly with longer tops, knits and jackets.

Tapered and slim jeans

Tapered jeans are roomier through the hip and thigh and narrow at the ankle, while slim jeans skim your shape without being skin-tight. Both are smart, comfortable all-rounders.

Stretch waist jeans

All the look of denim with the comfort of a pull-on or elastic waistband. Stretch waist jeans are perfect for long days, travel and anyone who wants jeans that move with them.

RISE, LENGTH AND WASH

Choosing your rise

High rise sits at or above the belly button. It smooths the tummy, defines your waist and lengthens your legs. Mid rise sits just below the belly button and is comfortable for everyday wear. Low rise sits on the hips for a more relaxed, casual look.

Choosing your length

Full-length jeans should just brush the top of your shoe. Ankle and cropped styles finish above the ankle bone, which is great for petite frames and for showing off sneakers, loafers and sandals.

Choosing your wash

Dark indigo and black denim look polished and are easy to dress up for work or dinner. Mid blue is the go-with-everything everyday wash. Light washes feel relaxed and fresh for weekends and warmer Kiwi days.

WHICH JEANS SUIT YOUR SHAPE?

Curvy hips and thighs

Look for a high rise with a little stretch and a leg that skims rather than clings. Straight leg and wide leg jeans balance your shape beautifully.

Want to smooth the tummy

A high rise in a dark wash is the most flattering choice. Stretch waist jeans give comfort without a waistband digging in.

Petite

Go for a high rise and an ankle or cropped length. Straight, slim and skinny styles won't overwhelm your frame.

Tall

Full-length wide leg and straight leg jeans give you length to spare, and barrel leg jeans look amazing on a longer leg.

Straighter figure

Create curves with a high rise and a shape that adds volume, like barrel leg or wide leg jeans. Add a belt to define the waist.

Jeans in sizes 16–22

Choose a high rise, a fabric with a little stretch and a leg that skims your shape. Wide leg, straight leg and stretch waist jeans are all great picks, and every Preen style comes in sizes 8 to 22.

STYLING IDEAS FROM YOUR PREEN STYLE SISTERS

Dress up dark straight leg jeans with a statement top, a blazer and heels for dinner. For weekends, pair wide leg or barrel leg jeans with a relaxed shirt or fine knit and sneakers. Tuck skinny jeans into boots with a longer knit for winter. Finish every look with the right shoes. Prefer a softer fabric? Shop our women’s pants in the same shapes.

JEANS FAQS

What size jeans am I?

Preen jeans come in NZ sizes 8 to 22, so you can shop your usual dress size. If you're between sizes, go by your hip measurement and choose a pair with a little stretch, or try stretch waist jeans for extra comfort.

Do jeans stretch or loosen with wear?

Stretch denim relaxes slightly as you wear it, so a snug (but comfortable) fit is usually right. Rigid, non-stretch denim softens over time but keeps its shape, so choose your normal size or go up if you're between sizes.

Which jeans are best if I want to hide my tummy?

Look for a high rise, which sits at or above your belly button and smooths the line through the middle. A dark wash and a straight or wide leg help balance your shape, and stretch waist jeans add comfort without digging in.

What jeans are in style right now?

Relaxed shapes are big news. Wide leg jeans and curved barrel leg jeans are the key looks, while straight leg jeans are the classic that never dates. Skinny jeans are still a wardrobe staple for wearing with boots and longer tops.

What's the difference between wide leg, barrel and straight leg jeans?

Wide leg jeans flare out from the hip and stay wide to the hem. Barrel leg jeans curve out through the knee and come back in at the ankle. Straight leg jeans fall in a clean line from hip to hem, the same width at the knee and ankle.

What jeans suit petite or shorter women?

A high rise and a cropped or ankle length are your best friends. Try straight leg or slim jeans that finish at the ankle, or wear wide leg jeans with a heel, wedge or platform so the hem just skims the floor.

How should I wash my jeans?

Wash them inside out in cold water, and only when they need it. Skip the dryer and line dry to keep the colour rich and stop them shrinking. Dark and black denim can bleed at first, so wash them separately the first few times.

Can I try jeans on in store?

Yes! Visit us in Timaru, Ashburton or Oamaru and our style sisters will help you find your perfect fit. They'll pull a few styles and sizes for you to compare.

What if they don't fit?

No stress. We offer full money back returns, even on sale. See our returns policy, or pop into one of our stores and we'll help you swap sizes or find a better fit.
