Men’s Jeans, Decoded: A Guide to Every Fit
Men’s Jeans, Decoded: A Guide to Every Fit
Finding the right pair of men’s jeans is really about finding the right fit. Whether you like your denim clean and tailored or relaxed and a little more vintage-inspired, the cut can completely change the way an outfit looks and feels.
Slim / Slim Straight Jeans
Slim and slim-straight jeans are the most polished option in the lineup. They’re trim through the thigh and leg without being as fitted as a skinny jean, making them an easy choice for a cleaner, more tailored look.
The Citizens of Humanity Gage Jean, Hiroshi Kato The Pen Slim Jean, and RRL Slim Fit Ridgecrest Selvedge Jean all bring their own take to the slim jean. The Gage is especially versatile, with different washes and fabrics that make it an easy everyday option.
This is the dress-it-up jean. Try slim denim with a sport coat and loafers, a knit polo, or a tailored jacket when you want something more elevated than a typical casual outfit.
Straight Leg Jeans
Straight-leg jeans are the classic. With more room through the leg than a slim jean, they have that traditional denim shape that never really goes out of style.
The Imogene + Willie Henry Jean is our standout straight-leg option. It’s easy, timeless, and current without feeling overly trendy.
If you’re looking for the most versatile men’s jeans, this is a great place to start. Wear straight-leg denim with sneakers and a T-shirt, or dress it up with a button-down, loafers, and a jacket.
Relaxed / Loose Jeans
The Hiroshi Kato The Pail Loose Straight Jean brings a little more room into the classic straight-leg silhouette. Despite the name, loose doesn’t mean wide. The Pail still has a straight shape, just with a more relaxed proportion.
This is the move if you want your denim to feel a little more effortless. Pair relaxed jeans with chunky knits, vintage-inspired T-shirts, or a casual jacket for an easy, laid-back look.
Five-Pocket & Trouser-Inspired Pants
Not everything in the denim department has to be technically a jean. The Boglioli Cord Jean and Barmas Cord Modal Pant take the familiar five-pocket construction and put it into textured fabrics like corduroy.
They’re a great alternative to traditional men’s jeans when you want something slightly more elevated without going all the way to a dress trouser. Think sweaters, loafers, suede jackets, and plenty of texture.
Find Your Fit
The best men’s jeans aren’t necessarily the trendiest ones - they’re the ones that work with the way you actually dress. Go slim for a tailored look, straight for classic versatility, relaxed for an easy vintage feel, or try a five-pocket style when you want to switch things up.
