There's nothing quite like a fresh pair of jeans to revitalise your wardrobe, but with classic cuts, it might be tough to stylise them in a modern and interesting way. The Mavi Jeans collection will undoubtedly have the right fit for you in a fashionable and elevated style.

We’ll touch up on the details around the fashion trend ‘ankle grazer jeans’ and, of course, how to wear them - that’s what’s really important!

What are Ankle Grazer Jeans?

If you're wondering what ankle grazers are, we've got the answers. Ankle grazers are a type of shortened jean that fall just above your ankle and are slightly cropped. This cut is ideal going into warmer weather that comes with Spring and Summer.


The style also offers a seamless alternative to rolling up your jeans which can sometimes pigeonhole your outfit for the day. But ankle grazers, like most jean fashions, are a resurgence of an old trend - Cigarette Jeans.

Cigarette jeans were first introduced in the 50s, receiving their name from the ‘high-waisted theme’ and equal width running down the leg and cutting at the ankles. The style was made famous by a number of celebrities advocating the trend, including the likes of Audrey Hepburn.

How to Wear Ankle Grazer Jeans

Ankle grazers are a fashion suited to every and any individual. You can alter certain variations of the jeans by subbing out the width of the leg and opening, choosing a low, mid or high-waist, and selecting a frayed, ripped hem rather than a clean cut. There is honestly no limit to this silhouette.

Are Ankle Grazer Jeans Flattering and Who Do They Suit?

Are ankle grazer jeans flattering? Unfortunately, ankle grazer jeans aren’t a one size fits all silhouette. But the great thing is that you can get a variety of styles and work with chopping and changing the rise, leg width, and fit (skinny, straight, boyfriend, mom, slim etc.).

By changing the rise of the waist, you can accommodate your height and proportion. What do we mean by proportion, and how could that affect what jeans you wear?!

The rise of a jean refers to the measurement between the under crotch seam and the waistband - a low-rise being the smallest length and a high or super high-rise being the longest measurement. The longer the rise, the more height it adds to your stature. So what rise is best for you?

If you are long in the legs, a high-rise will elongate your legs, making you appear even taller, which is not always what people desire. A low-rise jean will combat this restoring proportion to your build.

On the other hand, if you have short legs, a pair of high-waisted jeans can elongate your legs. It’s all relative!
