what are boot cut jeans

Bootcut jeans are a popular variation of denim pants that have a slim fit through the thigh and flare out from the knee to the ankle. They were influenced by trousers worn by sailors in the 1850s, designed to allow wearing of boots without much problem. Bootcut jeans became popular amongst cowboys and ranch workers because they were comfortable and allowed for boots which were necessary for everyday work. They were reintroduced in Hollywood western films and became popular again. Today, bootcut jeans are available in low, mid, or high-rise varieties and can be found in every color and wash. They can be worn by everyone and are particularly flattering for those with a curvy thigh. The gentle flare over the calf and ankle creates a long-looking thigh, and the subtle flare in the calf balances it all out. Bootcut jeans can be styled in many ways, from casual to dressy, and are versatile enough to be worn for any occasion.
