Tapered Jeans for Men

Men's Tapered Jeans

If you’re wondering, “What are tapered jeans?” you’re not alone. This cut of men’s jeans features a straight fit through the hips and thighs, then narrows toward the ankles. Men’s tapered pants are one of the most classic cuts because they give you plenty of flexibility and room to move without adding too much bulk. They also elongate the legs giving you the appearance of a taller stature. This jeans style is one of the less casual cuts, too. When styled right, tapered jeans can become a polished part of business casual looks.

Men's Tapered Jeans Styles to Choose From

While the tapered cut is a universal style, there are different fits that feature tapered legs. Our athletic fit jeans with a taper are constructed to include a bit more room in the thigh region. They’re especially comfortable for guys with more muscular legs, but they offer the flexibility you’d want when participating in sports. Our vintage loose-fit jeans are built with a very relaxed fit in the hips, thighs and all the way down through the taper. They look more like straight-leg jeans in many ways. Keep an eye on men’s new arrivals to see what other fits we’re featuring with tapered legs.

Which Wash You Choose Adds to the Overall Feel of Your Outfit

While a tapered-leg jean can always feel less casual than some other cuts, this is especially true for darker washes. Dark wash and even black jeans tend to feel more formal than the lightest washes. Consider the tone you want your outfit to convey, then choose the cut, fit and color that best matches it.

How to Style Men’s Tapered Jeans

Tapered jeans for men are a staple of casual men’s clothing. For a classic look, simply pair them with men’s graphic tees. You can change the look of your outfit by pairing these jeans with a variety of different men’s shirts, from button-downs to blazers. When you add men’s belts, the result is a more put-together look.

For our athletic fit taper jeans, a more fitted or tailored shirt takes them to a business casual feel. They’re also a natural fit with jerseys and other athletic-inspired tops. For our loose-fit taper jeans, you have more room to adjust the fit and style. For example, you can cuff them at the ankles to create a whole new look since the taper is not so tight. Baggier tops will feel more complementary to these jeans.

Men’s Tapered Pants Pair Well with Many Types of Shoes

Choosing the right men’s shoes to pair with your taper jeans also helps set the tone for your outfit. These jeans pair well with everything from sandals to boots because of the slimmer fit at the ankles. For a completely casual and effortless look, opt for sandals or low-profile sneakers with no-show socks. For a more formal look, consider dress boots that fit over the jeans. To elongate your legs further, match the color tone of your shoes to the wash of your jeans.
