When it comes to shopping for jeans, everyone has their personal preferences of style, fit, and wash. But right now, we can't get enough of straight-leg jeans, a universally flattering cut that can be interpreted and styled tons of different ways.
Basically, straight-leg denim is different from skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans in that it tends to fall somewhere between too tight and too loose. These types of jeans are sleek and curve-hugging on top, but they fall straight down from midthigh or at the knee. The effect is an ultrasexy, booty-boosting fit that still exudes laid-back cool. And not all straight-leg jeans look the same — some flow into a flared bottom, and others are cropped above the ankle, and they come in all different washes and colors.
If you're somehow not sold on this '90s-inspired trend just yet, take a look at some of our faves ahead. You'll be a straight-up style icon in no time.
