Wide Jeans Trend – The Best Wide Leg Jeans For Men

When it comes to jeans, It’s not a big secret that for years slim fit, and in particular skinny fit jeans have been stylish and on trend.

Times could be changing, with a lot of loose fits and wide leg jeans coming to the front, will the wide leg jeans trend be here in this season for guys?

For the ladies, it’s already seemingly here. There’s plenty of high waist, wide leg jeans, and for us guys, it seems that the trend could be coming back too, with ours of course, usually coming with a low rise.

It’s not a new thing, there’s plenty of brands which already sell loose fit denim. If you want the best style advice, it’s to buy the jeans for your body shape. Slim and skinny is fine for slender or average guys, but if you’re a bit bigger, then you should be wearing looser fits anyway, so probably don’t know what the fuss is about.

They’ve been going in and out of fashion for decades, from the fond memories of 90’s and 00’s hip hop, with it’s super loose fit. If you prefer your denim more relaxed, then the time has come for you.

There’s a few different options you can pick out, with cuts including:

• Bootcut jeans
• Wide Leg
• Relaxed Fit
• Loose Fit

Good For Casual Styling

If you’re going to wear loose fit, these should be seen to be more casual. They are quite a sloppy casual style, with a relaxed and laid back feel to them.

Pairing a pair with something which is oversized is going to really complete this look. Alternatively you can simply style a pair with a plain T-shirt, sweatshirt or jumper.

Since this is a casual look, the wash of the denim could be anything. Dark denim is great to pull off a smarter look, but since the idea of this is casual, you can rock any colour you like.

This includes light or mid wash denim, the good old classic which we think of when we think of denim blue.

Conclusion

I have a few pair of jeans which are a more relaxed and looser fitting, but not what I’d call relaxed. Years ago I had some bootcut and loose fit jeans which I still love today. But for styling my usual outfits, I think I’ll be sticking to the slim fits, especially when I want to wear them for a smart casual outfit.

If you don’t want to go for a slim or skinny fit but loose isn’t for you, check out a pair of straight leg.
