We all want comfortable jeans, but that doesn’t mean that they have to look scruffy. Like any other jeans in your closet, your straight legs should be trim, tailored and stylish. What I love about straight leg jeans is that this casual but fashionable style can be worn with any look, and they flatter everyone too! But where is the best place to get the perfect pair of straight leg jeans?
1. 7 for All Mankind
The leader in premium denim have a stunning range of straight leg jeans, including my favourite crystal grey pair. The jeans are amazingly comfortable, and available in a range of colours from blue to black. They are available in medium or dark washes and are very worth the money for jeans that won’t go out of fashion.

2. Abercrombie and Fitch
Another leading brand, Abercrombie have a new range of straight leg jeans for Winter 08. They range from casual blue pairs to varying degrees of rips and frays. The range is unique in its styling, and its prices reflect that. The sizing is accurate, but frayed jeans don’t have a long lifespan, which is worth bearing in mind before buying.

3. Acne
Acne’s dye, crease and colour experiment is carried on into the straight leg jeans, but the cuts are much more modern and so the look is very wearable. The jeans are accurate sizes and the waist cuts flatter people of all sizes. A favourite brand of mine, they are definitely worth looking into.

4. Chip&Pepper
Chip and pepper’s low rise range features dark wash and blue jeans. They are easy to dress up or down, and are made brilliantly. However the most original pair is called Olson Straight Leg in One Man, which feature ripped knees and a low waist. The prices are affordable, and the range is good quality.

5. CK Calvin Klein

6. dVb
A different take on straight leg jeans, with them being slightly tighter than usual. They are well made and feature in a lot of fashion magazines, although they will definitely need to be tried on before buying.

Great article! I’m currently wearing my sfam jeans and you’re right, they are insanely comfortable!
I’m a wee bit disappointed that the popular brands aren’t up there, especially True religion!
Amy,
Glad you liked the post. This reminds me that I need to get new denims desperately! I think Pepe is my all time favorite band. It all comes down to how it fits and Pepe fits me best!
great post! I would add Gap, for me, b/c I have good luck with jeans there!
CK and Pepe Jeans are among my favorites brands of jeans:)
i think i dont even owna pair of straight leg jean….im a kinda skinny girl jean type
I always feel that skinny jeans don’t make me look that umm skinny. Au contraire, I think they highlight my problem areas. Straight leg jeans are a good compromise and they almost always look great!
i love Don Dup!! Check it out. =)
Can’t believe you haven’t included Edwin jeans! I absolutely adore the straight legs I bought recently – the fit is perfect & they feel great. Not sure how easy they are to find? I got mine from Nola in Brighton, who are on the web
