A straight cut leg without an extremely body-hugging fit: straight jeans are considered extraordinarily comfortable, are not bulky and can be combined in many different ways. A pair of straight-leg jeans is a charming solution for women and men alike, which flatters every figure. Classic styles have a medium waist height but other models offer the possibility of redefining body proportions by means of a raised waistband. At the same time, the straight lines balance out any lumps or bumps on the stomach and thighs.
Straight-leg jeans sit nicely on the body when the fabric is not scrunched at the hem. When choosing the right size, it is helpful to try them on without shoes. If you step lightly on the hem, you have usually found the right length because when sitting, the trouser legs comes up a little.
Designed towards the end of the 19th century in the USA for cowboys and miners, the straight cut of the jeans fit makes it versatile to combine with basics. The pioneer of this fit is the Levi's 501, which still inspires sleek looks today that can be worn in everyday life. The straight-leg jeans are part of casual fashion and can also be worn in business settings. For a casual wear, combinations can include a cozy sweater, a simple 7/8 shirt and T-shirts with round neck - printed with cheerful motifs and snappy sayings. Ankle boots fit under this jeans fit as well as trendy sneakers. For the office, elegant turtlenecks and high-quality blazers can be nicely combined with straight-fit jeans.
