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:
- I removed the word “jean” from the item’s description
- 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.

BETH :D
I’m with Stef on 67
thank you for your support
I feel like a bored intern was out in charge of a focus group of mumsnet people and gave them brownies as a snack.
Hey, I think the link is dead to the ‘previous Autostraddle writer Instagram photo’ at the top of the article.
hm, it works for me so idk!
The dead link thing happens to me a lot with instragram, I’m not sure it is because I don’t have one, but I think more likely it happens if they are links to an image on a private account
ohhh yeah maybe they have a private account :-/
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.
That first instagram link you posted is broken.
“Altered Straight

Me trying repeatedly to get an ALH in Baton Rouge :/
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.
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
oooo this is a good sideshore take
Agreeeee 100%!!

Too many words, dad jeans for life. G’bye.
i hope that jeans literally called “dad jeans” are already on the market
they must be at this point
right
“in immerse, with destruction”! You mean my new state of being and living?!
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?
seriously, it’s like they set a neural network loose across a bunch of fast fashion sites just for lols
hi stef
Hey look, Stef-sisters
Also I call distressed jeans “shark attack pants” and I’m delighted to learn that they’re now being repurposed to catch fish.
this was such a ride and i’m so glad i went on it
(68) Ricky Skinny sounds like the L Word character Shane would work for while wearing those jeans
I’m Reinvented Tomboy meets MOTHER The Tomcat
Tag yourself….
I’m “Women’s Debbie High Rise Straight Crop”
Riding crop included ?
sorry I introduced you to awful modcloth naming conventions, stef.
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)
omg the graphics
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.
Alaina i also bought ex’s and oh’s you’re not alone
