As designer denim trends come and go, one thing always remains the same – the classic silhouette of straight leg jeans. Some brands refer to them simply as ‘classics’ while others call them ‘straight legs’ – whichever you prefer, the cut is simple: straight from the hips to the floor, slim fitting but not too narrow and usually the same width through the thigh, knee and leg opening. Straight leg jeans are also available for both men and women, plus they’re smart enough to wear to work and casual enough for a night on the town - making the straight leg one of the most popular jean styles on earth.
Straight leg jeans for men and women are available in from a variety of designers – both high-end fashion denim labels and more common high-street brands. The majority of designers make jeans for men, women and children. And, as children’s clothing needs to be functional more than fashionable, it’s no surprise that a lot of jeans for boys and girls are straight leg style. Check out the collections by 7 For All Mankind and DKNY for great designer straight leg jeans for kids.
Popular straight leg jeans for women include: 7 For All Mankind’s straight leg jeans; True Religion’s Billy; Chip and Pepper’s Olivia; the Joe’s Jeans Harvey Provocateur, available in a variety of lengths; the Citizens of Humanity Ava; Calvin Klein’s straight leg stretch jeans; and Paige Premium Denim’s Melrose. Most of these jeans are available in a variety of lengths and colours to suit most wardrobes.
Men’s options in the high-fashion straight leg jeans arena include the Diesel Viker 70Z, True Religion’s Adam, Juicy Couture’s Iggy Lenny, the Texas from Hugo Boss and 7 For All Mankind’s A-pocket jeans. The majority of men’s designer jeans can be considered ‘straight leg’, though some are more generous through the seat and thighs than others.
If you’re buying your straight leg jeans online, be sure you know what you’re after – get acquainted with the hallmarks of authentic jeans before purchasing to avoid disappointment. Also, make your online jeans purchase from a reputable seller with a clear return policy.
