Tapered jeans are equally popular with men and women. Their fit is reminiscent of baggy jeans, but there are also parallels to tapered carrot pants. While a tapered fit is wide and casual at the buttocks, hips and thighs, it sits much more figure-hugging at the calves and ankles. Compared to high-waisted carrot pants, the waistband sits loosely on the hips. In many models, the crotch is pulled far down, giving the wearer plenty of legroom. This type of jeans looks especially casual when worn in an extra-long style with sneakers.
The trendy tapered jeans originates from the 80s. More specifically, the Italian youth culture "Paninari" at the time spread the casual style of tapered fit jeans. With their chic, wedge-shaped cut, tapered fit jeans met the exact expectations of a sporty yet elegant pair of pants. Within a very short time, the iconic jeans were considered a real must-have for all those who valued fashion and brands. Today, as then, the tapered jeans are characterized by their light blue, slightly washed out look, which gives the pants an extra bit of coolness.
Tapered fit jeans are usually made of pure cotton denim. This gives the vintage-inspired pants a casual and unconventional look. When combining this sporty style, you have all kinds of options. For a particularly casual combo that brings on real 80s flair: Wear a casual check shirt, a washed-out denim jacket and a pair of cool sneakers with your men's tapered style jeans. Also in combination with a leather jacket in biker style, a white basic shirt and a pair of rustic biker boots in black, you will make a stylish appearance in no time.
