What Are Straight-Leg Jeans?
Straight-leg jeans keep a fairly even leg width from knee to hem. This guide explains how they differ from slim, tapered, wide and barrel cuts, and how to read measurements.
Read articleBrowse ROVADAY straight leg jeans in washed blue, light blue, black, white and dark gray, all cut with a loose, wide straight leg. Styles differ in rise, closure, fabric blend and detailing, so check each product page for its size chart, measurements and material before choosing a pair.
What these straight leg jeans have in common
The jeans in this collection share a wide, straight leg that falls from hip to hem without tapering. Beyond that, they vary. Some have a zip fly and button, one has an exposed multi-button fly, and another uses a diagonal closure.
Fabric blends differ too, including 100% cotton, cotton with polyester, and cotton-rich blends, so read each product page for details.
Choosing a rise, color and wash
Rise changes how the jeans sit. The white pair has a high rise, one blue pair is mid rise, and the black wide-cut pair is described as mid-to-high. Other pages do not state a rise, so check the details first.
- Faded and light blue washes suit plain tees and knits.
- Black straight leg jeans suit simple tops, with details ranging from stud-trimmed pockets to contrast stitching.
- White denim has tan topstitching.
Sizing and where to go next
The cuts are loose, so compare the hip and leg opening measurements, not just the waist. Measure a pair you already own and match it to the size chart, which lists centimeters. Size ranges vary from S to XXL by style.
For a wider selection, see all jeans or the men's jeans collection. If you want a more curved leg shape, compare these with barrel jeans.
Frequently asked questions
Are these straight leg jeans all the same fit?
They share a loose, wide straight-leg cut, but details differ. Rise, waist styling, fabric blend, closure and hem treatment vary by pair, so use each product page's description and size chart rather than assuming one style fits like another.
Which pairs are high waisted or mid rise?
The white pair is described as high rise, and one faded blue pair is mid rise. The black wide-cut pair is described as mid-to-high. Other product pages do not specify a rise, so check the individual details before choosing.
How should I choose a size in a loose wide-leg style?
Compare your measurements with the size chart, which lists lengths and widths in centimeters. Because the cut is relaxed, look at hip and leg opening as well as waist. Measuring jeans you already own gives the most useful comparison.
Are there options besides blue denim?
Yes. The collection includes black, white, light blue and dark gray styles. Details include faux-leather-look back pockets, tan topstitching, a diagonal closure and printed pocket panels, so choose based on the finish and styling you prefer.
