Men's Tapered Jeans

With such a large variety of men’s jeans out there, it can sometimes be tricky to choose the right pair. Men’s tapered jeans are a stylish option for anyone looking for an alternative to loose-fitting straight jeans or super tight skinny jeans. Discover exactly what tapered jeans are as well as some hot styling tips.

What are men’s tapered jeans?

Tapered jeans are cut at a taper so they become gradually narrower towards the ankle. This gives you a nice roomy fit that’s comfortable to wear, but also looks tailored and neat.

Tapered jeans fall into two categories: relaxed fit and slim fit. Men’s slim tapered jeans are designed to fit snugly around the thigh, and taper to a close fit around the ankle. Relaxed tapered jeans are roomier around the thighs, tapering to a narrower – but slightly looser – fit from the calves down.

Skinny jeans, on the other hand, are designed to hug every part of the leg from the thigh to the ankle. Our men’s streetwear jeans are suited to those with a slender build.

Men’s straight jeans provide a relaxed fit from the thigh down, without any tapering. The straight fit is roomy and comfortable, but it doesn’t look quite as stylish compared with tapered jeans.

How to style tapered jeans

We’ve got plenty of men’s clothing options to create any kind of look – from casual to dressy – in your favourite brands including Levi's, Tommy Jeans, Jack & Jones and Calvin Klein.

Tapered jeans tend to look flattering on most body types, since they follow the natural shape of the leg. For relaxed summer afternoons, pair your tapered jeans with a plain t-shirt or polo shirt, sunglasses, a canvas belt and white sneakers. If you’re heading out in the cooler months, a pair of black tapered jeans will look great paired with a tucked-in collared shirt, jacket and boots.
