Fashion detailing is evident in pockets, especially hip pockets. Pocket shape, top-stitching pattern and other trim ideas are varied to create interesting and distinctive garment detail; however, some companies promote plain pocket jeans. Four- and five-pocket stylings dominate the jeans market.
Name clothing designers are creating jeans for all members of the family. In some cases there are special or subtle decorating details, such as designer initials on snaps or nail head reinforcements, embroidered signatures, or symbols on watch or hip pockets. Some designers make cuts for fuller figures or body builds while others cater to persons with slender bodies. New trademark names for various fit/cuts highlight focus on how jeans fit; including adjusting cut or offering more ease in menswear and womenswear. Consumers have cited satisfaction in fit as a reason why they select a particular brand or designer style. Designer jeans tend to be more costly. Evaluate features and make comparisons.
Other features are stretch waistbands for men's pants that give and adjust as the individual moves or bends. Also, styles may have half-elastic back or side elastic inset waistbands for children's smaller sizes and to contour Misses' and Women's jeans. Other details are self or decorative belts and decorative appliqués.
Color choices include traditional indigo blue or black to frosted, washed, powdered lights or dark washes. More color interest in denim is seen in fashion colors: brown, tan, wheat, gold, brick red, olive, purple, and teal. A few companies offer vivid colors such as bright turquoise, fuchsia, and even orange. By the mid-nineties, manufacturers are expected to introduce tinted neutrals and soft hues such as straw yellow, terra cotta, and stone. Deep tones and overdyes add to the mix. The use of various color thread for top stitching can add decorative detailing. Instead of matching thread, orange, white, or light blue thread is used on blue denim.
