Jeans women

A.P.C. is known for its jeans in raw Japanese denim, and its women's selvedge jeans carry that reputation into several distinct shapes. Each one is defined by its own silhouette, while over the seasons the indigo takes on a patina that becomes personal to its owner.

Women's selvedge jeans vary by leg shape

Women's selvedge jeans take a relaxed shape in the Elisabeth jeans, cut high on the waist to skim the hips before falling into a 70s leg. The Victoria keeps a similar 70s spirit, with a fitted waist, patch pockets at the front and a long and slightly wide cut. A.P.C. suggests going up a size on the Elisabeth depending on build, as the women's denim fit guide explains in detail.

A.P.C. gives the Domino a permanent front crease and the highest rise. That makes it the most dressed-up style in the range, and a natural match for heels. The New Sailor is cut straight at seven-eighths length, with a wide hem, while the Seaside and the Romy instead open into a long, softly flared leg. On warmer days, these Japanese jeans for women go with A.P.C.'s T-shirts for women, tucked in at a high waist.

Women's raw denim jeans and their patina

Whichever style is chosen, women's raw denim jeans are sold unwashed, so the indigo is at its deepest on the first day and lightens where the fabric is worn. The brand explains what selvedge denim is and why it is sometimes confused with raw denim. A.P.C. makes the Domino as a Japanese jean for women in raw denim, and the Elisabeth and the New Sailor come in the same unwashed cloth.

When a wash is due, A.P.C. recommends turning the jeans inside out and hanging them to dry, as its denim care guide shows. Worn day after day, raw jeans for women take on a patina of their own over time. The high-waisted Domino and Victoria sit well with a tie-neck blouse tucked in. Each pair of raw jeans for women ends up reflecting the person who wears it, which is precisely the appeal of raw denim.
