The Tapered Jean: Three Ways To Wear

Spruce up your signature denim styles this summer with lighter washes and looser fits… Enter the tapered jean.

May 13 · 6 min read

If there’s one item of clothing that really does the most for us in our wardrobe it’s our jeans and while some styles are seasonless, adding a new wash or silhouette to your denim rotation can help breathe new life into some of your favourite looks. Keep scrolling to see influencer Ethan’s favourite ways to wear this trending tapered silhouette.

What Are Tapered Jeans?

As the name suggests they have a looser fit around the waist and crotch area then a tighter fit below the knee as it tapers down towards the ankle. Boasting a flattering tailored fit around the calf, think of these as the slim leg and straight leg hybrid.

Cinema Casual

Go top-to-toe tonal for the easiest and chicest way to incorporate new washes into your wardrobe. With our ecru tapered jean, think beige, cream and white as your go-to hues, and keep to classic basics and box fresh plimsolls to give a clean, polished look. Keep things on-trend with a contrasting-coloured beanie and finish off with gold jewellery.

Sideline Style

Smarten up any varsity inspired or matchday looks with our tapered jean. Swap out the usual joggers or jersey shorts for a smarter bottom half option that you can be sure will suit your team’s colours. Team with our wide range of collegiate mesh vests or our NBA and NFL must-haves for a look that you definitely won’t want to bench.

Reservation Ready

Your starter, main and dessert decisions should be the only food for thought when it comes to dinner reservations so take the stress out of your fine dining ‘fit with our trusty tapered jean. Head in-store to browse our shirt selection from crisp-collared button-downs to knitted polo tops and our lightweight linen styles. For those beach club bookings, keep things casual with trainers, and 90’s inspired shades then for fancier dinner dates, go for loafers and swap the shades for a suit jacket or blazer.
