The Top Men's Relaxed Fit Jeans
The relaxed fit jean has reclaimed its place as the dominant denim silhouette after more than a decade of slim-fit dominance — its wider leg opening and comfortable seat create an ease that the skinny jean sacrificed at the altar of tightness. From vintage Levi's 501s to contemporary interpretations from Nudie and A.P.C., the relaxed jean is the most wearable silhouette in denim.
Why It's Trending
- The pendulum has swung decisively from slim to relaxed across all trouser categories, with denim following the same trajectory
- Comfort-driven dressing post-pandemic has made the relaxed fit feel contemporary rather than retrograde
- Vintage denim's popularity has rehabilitated wider silhouettes as the authentic way to wear jeans
- Skate and workwear culture — both influential in contemporary men's fashion — have always favored a fuller denim fit
What to Look For
- 1Relaxed fit should be comfortable through the thigh and seat with a straight or slightly tapered leg — not a true wide-leg
- 2A mid-rise or slightly higher rise balances the relaxed leg proportionally — low-rise relaxed jeans look shapeless
- 3Darker washes read smarter; heavier fades and lighter washes lean more casual and vintage-inspired
- 4Taper the hem if needed — a slight taper creates a cleaner silhouette than a straight leg that puddles at the ankle
