![]() The type of denim your jeans are made of will affect their color and how they fade, wear and shape to your body, and shrink after you buy them. ![]() Think about how roomy you want your jeans to feel and whether you want them to cut close to your ankles or sit over larger footwear like boots. Skinny jeans have an even snugger fit throughout and often have a low rise. Slim-fit jeans will be snugger in the butt and thighs while tapering toward the bottom of the legs. Tapered-leg jeans will be cut similarly to straight-leg jeans around the butt and thighs but taper more visibly toward the bottom of the legs. (Almost all high-end Japanese denim will have a straight-leg cut: “The entire idea behind specialty Japanese denim brands is to make jeans with the attention to detail that Levi’s had mid-century, and the fit of Levi’s in that period was straight-leg,” says Drew Romero, sales associate at Dover Street Market and alumnus of Self Edge, a specialty denim shop.) The straight leg is the classic with a fairly consistent measurement from hip to hem and only a very slight taper to follow the shape of your legs. The four most common styles of men’s jeans are straight leg, tapered leg, slim fit, and skinny. Flared or bootcut jeans have leg openings of about ten inches, while skinny jeans measure around five or six inches at the leg opening. Some brands allow you to select your waist and inseam measurements independently, while others only let you select your waist measurement and pair it with a fixed inseam length.īrands may list a measurement for the leg opening, which can help you figure out if a pair of jeans is more tapered or roomier at the ankles. Some brands offer multiple inseam lengths, but the average for men’s jeans is between 30 and 34 inches. The inseam length runs from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to the hem. And a low rise will sit at the top of your hips. A mid-rise will sit between your waist and hips and measure between 10 and 11 inches on average. A higher rise will place the waistband closer to your actual waist and belly button and measure more than 11 inches on average. The larger the measurement, the higher the rise. The rise measurement runs vertically from the crotch to the top of the waistband. To dial in your fit, find your waist, hip, thigh, and ideal rise and inseam measurements by measuring either your body or a pair of jeans you already have that fits well. Jeans generally align with regular men’s-pant sizes, focusing on waist and inseam measurements, and that’s what we’ve listed for each pair we’re recommending.
