Your Jean Pool

Whether you're 15 or 55, the style of jeans that you wear can say a lot about you. Although it's perfectly normal to experiment from time to time with new styles, it is also quite common for people to gravitate toward a particular style of jeans that reflects their individual personalities. If you've never stopped to ponder what messages your jeans are sending out into the universe, there is no better time than the present!

Baggy Jeans - urban, unconventional

Baggy jeans became popular in the 1990's and are often associated with Hip Hop culture. Baggy jeans have an urban "swag" and reflect one who is not concerned with conventional norms. Baggy jeans are not necessarily viewed the same on women as they are on men. Unfortunately, women who wear baggy jeans are sometimes viewed as being either overtly masculine or insecure about their bodies. However, if you are a highly confident woman, you will have little regard for what others think about your choice of denim.

Bell-Bottom Jeans - retro, free spirit

Bell-bottom jeans were quite popular in the late 1960's and 1970's and are typically associated with the Hippie culture. Regardless of the ever-evolving jean trend, some people swear by bell-bottom jeans and no other style of jeans will do! These individuals are often viewed as "free spirits." If you prefer bell-bottom jeans, you may very well be the quintessential flower child!

"Green" Jeans - progressive, environmentally conscious

If you wear "green" jeans, chances are that you strive to make environmentally conscious (AKA "green") purchases. Because eco-jeans are made from organic cotton instead of chemically produced cotton, they are considered better for your body and for the environment. Although green jeans are not necessarily identifiable upon first glance, green consumers tend to be very vocal about the businesses they support as well as the products they buy. Therefore, you have undoubtedly already informed everyone in your circle that you wear green jeans and provided them with a list of stores that sell them!

Holey (Ripped) Jeans - laid back, low maintenance

Holey jeans give off a "grunge" look and reflect a personality that is laid back and unimpressed by high fashion. If you are an avid holey jean wearer, you may also love inexpensive and unfashionable flip-flops and have a preference for t-shirts over polo shirts or cutesy tops. Most holey jean lovers will however never read this article, because they really couldn't care less...

Low-Ride Jeans - youthful, confident, uninhibited

Low-ride jeans do not look good on everyone and it takes a great deal of confidence to put them on and pull them off (figuratively speaking). Low-ride jeans spell youthfulness (regardless of age), self-assuredness and the absence of inhibition. And for women especially, they give off a very sensual vibe. Many women wear low-ride jeans to show off elaborate tattoos on their lower backs. If you're still in the "experimental stage" with jeans, don't buy low-ride jeans unless you are prepared to deal with plenty of attention from both male and female onlookers.

Rhinestone Jeans - flashy, "bling" lover

If you love the "bling," then you probably love rhinestone jeans. You may also have rhinestones on your purse, cell phone case and favorite hat! Not to mention any jewelry you may be wearing on your person. Rhinestone jeans are just that - jeans adorned with rhinestones, whether clear or tinted. Rhinestone jeans are usually quite flashy and not for the conservative-minded individual who doesn't desire to stand out in the crowd. People who wear rhinestone jeans tend to enjoy being seen and never leave home without the bling!

Skinny Jeans - bold, thrill-seeker

Skinny jeans wearers are often lean and active thrill-seekers who don't mind taking risks. They are also less likely to fear embarrassment or public humiliation. Individuals who wear skinny jeans tend to be bold and don't mind making a statement - whether directly or by example. If you wear skinny jeans, you probably make a point of not taking yourself too seriously and work hard to make each day exciting and memorable.
