The straight fit
Straight fit jeans for men keep the same width from the knee to the hem, so they fall in a long, even line over trainers, boots or loafers. They are neater than baggy and easier than slim.
Seven washes
A clean dark indigo, a natural ecru, a 1993 vintage blue, a mottled acid drift, a washed black, a pale 90s light blue and a concrete grey. Each is a five-pocket jean with belt loops and a metal shank button.
Choosing a pair
The dark indigo is the smartest pair and goes with a shirt and loafers; the ecru is the summer one, best with navy or olive on top. The washed black and concrete grey are the easy everyday pairs. Choose your usual waist size, 30 to 38.
Common questions
What is a straight fit jean?
A jean whose leg keeps one width from the knee down to the hem, rather than tapering or flaring.
Is straight fit the same as slim?
No. Slim jeans narrow toward the ankle; straight jeans stay the same width, so they sit easier over boots and trainers.
