At first, let’s talk about basins, three possibilities are offered to you from the low to the high, to choose it depends exclusively on your personal feelings and how you want to wear the pants.
If you prefer to wear it close to the navel and you want to put your buttocks forward then the high waist is for you conversely if you are looking for comfort and lightness then the low waist (worn at the waist) will be an ally of weight.
Now, let’s talk about the cut, the APC Jeans, Minimalism and Expertise can have a straight cut, a fitted cut or a very fitted cut. To make it simple, the more the cut is straight, the less the pants will be close to the body and it will be less tapered. It is therefore important to choose it according to your legs, your thighs and therefore your morphology, it also depends on how you like to wear your clothes, the more the cut will be straight, the more you will have amplitude. As our dear Marcel Proust would say, to each his own madeleine!
Small technical point, did you know that denim is a fabric made from woven cotton, and has its origins in… Nîmes! Although this material was democratized in the 18th century, it is still very trendy today.
