Seven for All Mankind Basics




You can never have too many choices. Atleast that's how 7 for all Mankind feels when it comes to fit. There is the A-pocket, the signature, the dojo, the hefner, the flynt, the flare, the boycut, the mojo, the trouser, and then a few miscellaneous ones here and there from time to time. How do each of these fit though??

Signature bootcut fit: This is their primary jean, as the majority of stores (and buyers) have these. They have the 'squiggle' (otherwise just known as their signature wavy line across the back). They are bootcut and have a lower rise than most of the other styles below (but not dangerously low). These fit most people very well. Overall fit is basic and snug.

Signature flare fit: Same rules apply as above, but it has a slight flare at the leg opening (by just 1" more than the bootcut).

A-pocket fit: the waist is still relatively low, but a pinch higher than the bootcut (mostly in the back for a more contoured waist),and it's tighter in the knee, with more of a flare at the base.


Dojo fit: These are the wide leg cut. With 2" more at the base than the bootcut, these are quite roomy from the knee down and have a very casual look with flip flops and a very classy (think trouser) look with heels. They remain tight from the thighs up, with a very booty-lifting effect for most people.

Flynt fit: More of a contoured waistband (like the a-pockets) and a pinch higher of a rise (but still not actually 'high'), with trimmer thighs and a small bootcut for the leg. These tend to fit a tad tighter than the signature bootcut.

Boycut fit: This has abutton instead of zip fly, and is higher in rise (by 1")than the other fits, and a tad looser as well.

Miscellaneous fits: This includes Jagger, Kate, Heffner, Mia, Miller (trouser), Rocker, Roxy, Colette, straight, crop, Flo Jo and the occasional odd one out. To be added later.
