Jean Fits for Men & How to Wear Them

Slim Jeans

Slim fit jeans are about as versatile as they come, with a streamlined look that has classic appeal. Cut slim through the thigh and leg, they complement a wide range of heights. Along with our traditional slim fit jeans, you’ll find slim straight and athletic slim options as well (which we’ll get into ahead).

Depending on wash, slim fit jeans can be easily dressed up or down for work, weekend and everything in between. Go casual by pairing a light wash or colored denim jean with a graphic tee—then bring on the layers! Think denim jackets, flannels and corduroy shirts. Or, take a more elevated approach with a crisp button-down and black slim fit denim.

Slim Straight Jeans

Slim straight jeans offer a looser fit from the knee down and should sit just above the hips. With their classic straight leg and more modern slim fit, you really get the best of both worlds—and comfort you can count on. Our Hyper Stretch styles are designed with a high level of stretch for maximum movement and flexibility.

Here, you’ll find slim straight jeans in white (perfect for summer), versatile olive, black and gray and of course, a range of everyday blues. We recommend balancing the slim fit of your jeans with looser layers, like denim jackets and oversized knits in the cooler months and breezy printed button-up shirts in the warmer seasons. Finish the look with a pair of low-top white sneakers, or cuff the hems and team with a smart Chelsea boot.

Athletic Slim Jeans

Athletic slim jeans are slim from knee to ankle and most importantly, offer extra room in the thigh. These are a great option for guys with more muscular legs who want to accentuate their build and not feel confined (shout-out to our Hyper Stretch denim).

When it comes to styling athletic slim jeans, you can really do no wrong. High-top sneakers and a Perfect Pima Cotton Tee are a solid choice for a casual look that works all-year-round. Headed out for drinks with the crew? Start with a darker wash, add a stylish work boot and finish with an perma-cool leather jacket.

Straight Jeans

No guy’s wardrobe is complete without at least one pair of straight leg jeans. Running straight through the thigh and leg, this fit is not too tight or relaxed, but just right. A premium pair of straight leg denim makes an easy-to-style base for outfits both laid-back and dressed up.

Since straight leg jeans don’t narrow at the ankle, you’ll have to be thoughtful when choosing your footwear. Low-top sneakers and loafers pair especially well, but you can also go for boots that fit under your jeans.

Relaxed Jeans

Cool and casual is the name of the game with relaxed fit jeans. This denim style has a bit more room in the thigh than standard fits, and they drop straight through the entire leg. While relaxed fit jeans are loose, they shouldn’t be too baggy or unflattering. You’ll want the hem of your jeans to fall above your shoes, so cuff as needed.

A good rule of thumb is to balance a looser, wider fit on the bottom with a more fitted top. Try tucking in your favorite everyday tee, or choosing a slim fit 1MX dress shirt.

Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are a go-to in the denim world for a reason. They’re stretchy, comfortable, flattering on almost every body type and endlessly versatile. Ours are relaxed in the thigh, which offers a movable fit, but skinny from the knee to the ankle. Make sure the pair you choose isn’t too tight around the waist.

Our range of skinny jean washes offer styling possibilities for every season and occasion. Lighter shades, like white, khaki or gray, are suited for casual looks, be it a plain tee, hoodie or simple button-down. Darker shades, like brown and black, can be easily dressed up with tailored tops, leather boots and elevated outerwear (think trench coats, moto jackets and wool topcoats).
