Guide to Different Types of Jeans for Men

Straight leg jeans are among the most versatile type of men’s jeans, as they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. They offer a forgiving style with room for comfortable movement and are easy to put on, unlike some other jean styles.



These jeans have a straight silhouette from the hips to the ankles, with a mid-rise waist designed to sit just below your belly button and slightly above your hips. Ensure the right fit by finding a comfortable pair that aren’t too tight or baggy.

Once exclusive to punk rockers, skinny jeans have become a fashion staple for all sorts of men, from the young to the young at heart! These types of jeans tend to come in two categories (tight and spray-on) and typically feature a low to mid-rise waist with a zipper fly.



Skinny jeans are made from cotton blended with elastane, providing flexibility for movement and breathing. Though it may take some effort to put them on, once you do, you can flaunt an edgy yet cool look, making them perfect for live music events, and making an impression on a first date.

The slim jean style is ideal for guys who like the idea of wearing skinny jeans but want a little more room to move and breathe. They should sit comfortably on the hips and follow the line of your leg without clinging too tightly.



The advantage of slim jeans is that they look sharper compared with regular straight leg jeans. The fit is ideal for men with slighter builds as they create a pleasing line from the waist down to the feet.



With their tailored yet casual style, slim types of jeans are perfect for casual Fridays at work, or dinner with friends.

The love child of slim and skinny cuts, tapered jeans look good on anyone. Slim through the hips, they follow the natural tapered shape of your legs, narrowing from thigh to ankle. Of all the different types of jeans for men, this style is among the most flattering.

If you have fairly muscular legs, tapered jeans are a good compromise between regular and skinny jeans. They provide you with room in the thighs, while narrowing towards the ankle in a stylish and smart way.

Because tapered jeans have a tailored style, they’re a great choice for smart casual situations.
