What are tapered jeans?
The word ‘tapered’ already indicates exactly what characterises tapered jeans for men. While this type of jeans is cut wider at the hips and thighs, the trouser leg tapers down towards the ankles. The result is the characteristic fit of the trousers, which is also known as the carrot fit in other trouser styles. However, the classic carrot trousers sit higher on the waist and have a shorter length, making them look much more classic than tapered fit jeans, which in turn offer an ideal combination of comfort and coolness. The loose fit at the top ensures freedom of movement, while the tapered legs create a modern and slim silhouette. Strictly speaking, tapered fit jeans for men are a mixture of baggy trousers and skinny jeans. Some brands differentiate between loose tapered, an even more relaxed version of the model, and regular tapered, which can be worn in the office depending on the combination partners, design and industry.
What is the difference between tapered and straight jeans?
As mentioned earlier, tapered jeans narrow significantly towards the ankle, meaning they fit more snugly at the bottom while remaining looser around the thighs, hips, and waistband. In contrast, classic straight-leg jeans have a uniform cut that runs straight from the thigh all the way down to the ankle.
Which is tighter: tapered or slim fit?
Slim fit jeans are generally cut more closely than men's designer tapered fit jeans. Slim fit styles offer a close fit along the entire leg while still allowing slightly more freedom of movement than skinny jeans. Tapered jeans for men, on the other hand, are looser around the hips, seat, and thighs, and only begin to narrow from the knee down to the ankle. This means they are wider at the top of the leg compared to slim fit jeans, but become narrower towards the lower leg.
What is the history of designer tapered jeans for men?
The designer tapered jeans for men, or tapered cut, originated in the Italian ‘Paninaro’ youth movement of the 1980s, which was mainly made up of young people from the upper classes - this youth culture is comparable to the German Poppers. The carrot jeans from the Italian brand Fiorucci were considered a real status symbol at the time. Today, thanks to brands such as Dondup for men, 7 for all mankind for menand A.P.C. for men, the trouser model has long since found its way back into the modern wardrobe, where it proves its styling potential from season to season.
How to combine designer tapered fit jeans for men?
Men's tapered fit jeans are available in a variety of colours, washes and sizes. Colours such as classic indigo blue, black and anthracite are particularly popular as they can be combined in a variety of ways. However, designer tapered jeans for men with distressed effects or subtle washes can also be found in the collections of denim brands. The choice of colour and wash depends on personal style and the desired look. However, one of the great strengths of tapered jeans for men is their versatility, as these trousers go well with both casual and elegant outfits. You can find a few styling ideas here:
Casual
Designer tapered fit jeans for men are the perfect choice for a relaxed casual look consisting of a purist designer T-shirt for men and Chelsea boots. The comfortable fit is ideal for a stroll through the city or a bike ride. A light jacket or a designer hoodie for men can be added on cooler days to make the look more comfortable.
Smart Casual
Designer tapered fit jeans made from slightly stretchy cotton are the ideal choice for a smart casual look. Combine them with a casual designer shirt for men and your favourite clean sneakers to create a stylish yet relaxed everyday outfit. A relaxed designer smart-casual jacket for men can further enhance the ensemble and is perfect for less formal business meetings or a relaxed business lunch with partners.
Elegant
Designer tapered jeans for men can also be the right choice for more elegant occasions, provided you opt for a regular model without washes and used effects. The darker the tapered trousers for men, the more dressed-up the look. Combined with a tailored designer business shirt for men, a jacket in an unconstructed design and elegant designer dress shoes for men made of leather, the result is an outfit that is both modern and classic. This combination is also suitable for events where the business casual dress code is required for men.
Styling tip: If you want to give one of the looks an extra twist, you can simply roll up your tapered fit jeans for men.
Which shoe styles go well with tapered jeans for men?
Men’s designer tapered jeans work well with a wide range of shoe styles, as the narrow cut at the ankle offers plenty of freedom when it comes to footwear choices. For example, pairing them with sneakers creates a cool, slightly sporty look. However, Chelsea boots, loafers, or lace-up shoes also make excellent options.
Which Body Shapes Are Tapered Jeans Suitable for?
Athletic Bodies
Fashionable designer tapered jeans for men are ideal for men with an athletic or muscular build. The wider cut at the top offers enough room for thicker thighs, while the tapered legs create a slim silhouette. This cut emphasises the natural shape of the body and creates a harmonious overall impression. If you have heavily trained legs, the calves may be a little tight - so it is best to choose a model that is not slim cut. As the fit of tapered trousers for men can vary from brand to brand, we recommend trying on and comparing different models.
Lean Bodies
Men with a slim build also benefit from this type of jeans. The tapered leg makes the legs look more defined. Tapered jeans for men visually add volume to the thighs, while the narrow calves are emphasised again, creating a harmonious contrast.
Stronger Bodies
Men with a wider waist and stomach should make sure that the jeans are not too tight around the hips. Designer tapered fit jeans for men offer the advantage that they are looser around the thighs and buttocks and play around them. The tapered cut from the knees upwards still creates a slim silhouette, but you should also make sure that the denim is not too tight around the calf. Trousers that are not only made of pure cotton but also have a stretch component can also offer a better fit with more freedom of movement. If you are very short, you should avoid tapered styles as they tend to look baggy.
