Straight Leg Jeans FAQs

What are straight-leg jeans?

Straight-leg jeans fall straight from hip to hem—no taper, no flare. Depending on the style, they can feel snug or a bit roomier. Straight-cut jeans are flattering on any body type and versatile enough to go with tons of different looks.

Where should straight-leg jeans hit?

Straight-leg jeans generally hit right at your ankles, otherwise they may bunch up on top of your shoes. And no one wants that.

What shoes to wear with straight-leg jeans?

Okay, we’re having a tough time thinking of shoes that don’t go with straight-leg jeans. For casual looks, wear sneakers, flat sandals with cute straps, or flats. If you'd like a little lift, you can’t go wrong with ankle boots or wedges. And when you’re going for an elevated look, denim straight-legs also look great with heeled, strappy sandals or pointed-toe pumps.

How to style straight-leg jeans?

Cuff your straight jeans or leave them long—it’s all about your footwear and personal taste. For laid-back days, consider an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt or a loose band tee layered over a long sleeve. Straight-leg pants go well with a loose white button-up, which creates a stylish balance with bracelets and a necklace. For a night out, stilettos or ankle boots, plus a bodysuit (spaghetti straps, sleeveless, or tank) and a chain necklace with small hoops give you that extra edge.

How to wear straight-leg jeans with ankle boots?

If your straight-leg jeans are long enough, simply wear them over the tops of your boots. Similar to [bootcut and flare jeans](/content/collections/bootcut-flare "bootcut and flare jeans"/index.html), a narrow ankle boot will give you a stylish lift. If your straight-fit jeans are short enough, they will rest above your ankle boots. The goal is to show a bit of the narrowness of the ankle so it doesn’t give you a blocky look.

Beware of that in-between length where the jeans bunch on top of the ankle boots. If that happens, consider cuffing your jeans to make them a bit shorter for the right look.

Are boyfriend jeans straight-leg?

Yes, boyfriend jeans are a type of straight-leg jeans. They’re generally low or mid-rise, with a looser fit on the legs, and have a slightly cropped straight leg. You can find all that and more in our [Good Boy Collection](/content/collections/good-boy-jeans "Good Boy Collection"/index.html).

Are straight-leg jeans supposed to be baggy?

Well, they can be. Straight-cut jeans can fit baggy if that’s how you prefer to wear them. If that’s more your thing, check out our [Good 90s Jeans](/content/collections/good-90s "good 90s jeans"/index.html) Collection for a variety of 90s-inspired relaxed-fit straight-leg jeans.

What is the difference between bootcut and straight jeans?

[Bootcut jeans](/content/collections/bootcut-flare "bootcut jeans"/index.html) have a moderate flair that starts around the mid-calf, while straight-leg jeans stay the course and descend straight down without a taper. Both styles can be worn in a similar way, with a variety of shoe styles, whether funky, formal, or casual.
