100 Jean Styles, Ranked By Lesbianism

As the years have steadily progressed into additional years and the earth has continued its tender trip around the sun, fashion retailers have gone absolutely bananas with naming the styles/cuts of blue jeans, the world’s most popular style of pants.

Recently, a former Autostraddle writer posted an instagram photo of what appears to be a shopping trip to The Gap, in which one photo depicts the “Sexy Boyfriend” jean and the next photo, the “Real Straight” jean. They captioned the photograph “ah yes, the two genders.” I mention this because it is a perfect encapsulation of the current situation in lower-body womenswear that I am attempting to spotlight today.

In order to test the relative lesbianism of about 100 jean styles, I copied down the names of 100 styles of jeans. Then I presented the name of each jean style to my team in our group Slack chat, soliciting their input/feedback. Alaina, Stef, Cameron, Molly, Jenna, Valerie and Rachel were happy to participate in this exercise.

However, before presenting the name, I made two small edits:

  1. I removed the word “jean” from the item’s description
  2. I changed “boyfriend” to “boifriend”

Nobody saw what the actual jeans looked like, only the names of the jeans. (Unless they did their own research) (STEF). Jeans were judged entirely and solely by their names. This is how that went.

  1. “MOM
    how do you even know what poppers ARE
    i don’t like you hanging out with those girls in your book club
    they’re getting you into trouble”

    *snorts beverage thru nose*
    *closes laptop and never opens it again*

  2. This is the most fun I’ve ever had on the internet. It’s an honor to know you hilarious humans.

    With destruction,

    Valerie Anne

  3. 100 types of jeans, yet when I muster enough courage to go shopping, all they have is ‘So You Think You Are Slim’ and ‘Distressed Rous: Unlimited Edition’.

  4. I feel like a bored intern was out in charge of a focus group of mumsnet people and gave them brownies as a snack.

  5. Hey, I think the link is dead to the ‘previous Autostraddle writer Instagram photo’ at the top of the article.

  6. 1) This is the best
    2) Currently wearing ‘altered boyfriend’ with interior pocket linings that tell me I’m gorgeous. MAKE OF THAT WHAT YOU WILL.

  7. “Altered Straight

    Riese: you go in for a gay haircut and leave with the same haircut as always”

    Me trying repeatedly to get an ALH in Baton Rouge :/

  8. Sorry! Please delete this one mods, I accidentally typed ALS instead of ALH. Neurological disorders are a big part of my life, but I’m definitely not trying to get another one.

  9. okay okay but 60. Point Sur Shoreditch Straight to me was different, there’s context

    shoreditch is an area of central london that’s like. aggressively hipster and alternative.

    because of this, ALL THE GIRLS DRESS QUEER but NONE OF THEM ARE

    i work in shoreditch and it’s the actual bane of my life

    • i hope that jeans literally called “dad jeans” are already on the market
      they must be at this point
      right

  10. I have questions.

    Were these named by random AI jean-name generators?

    How did the person who suggested “wedgie” as a name for pants not get immediately fired?

  11. Also I call distressed jeans “shark attack pants” and I’m delighted to learn that they’re now being repurposed to catch fish.

  12. (68) Ricky Skinny sounds like the L Word character Shane would work for while wearing those jeans

  13. All the jeans are people. Mom, boyfriend, girlfriend & tomboy/tomgirl…

    (ignore me if you deliberately set out to do that but otherwise, I never expected that. I knew boyfriend and mom jeans but that’s it)

  14. I legit have those Wedgie Fit jeans in, like, three colours. Maybe one of them is Kiss Off. Maybe.

    I’m also 0% ashamed because they make me look like I have a butt.
