The 70s Jeans Worth Knowing

The straight leg never really went away, it just spent a decade being drowned out by skinnies and then by whatever the athleisure moment turned into. The 70s cut is different to what most men default to and that difference is exactly why it works. More room through the thigh, a leg that sits straight rather than tapering to the ankle, a rise that actually sits at the waist. Worn right, it looks considered without looking like you tried. Worn wrong, it looks like borrowed trousers. We've been looking specifically at the cuts that get the proportions right for how men actually dress now, pairing with chunky soled footwear, with overshirts, with nothing more complicated than a clean white tee. The key is avoiding anything too wide through the leg. This is a straight fit, not a slouch. There is a real difference and the best options here know it. These are the ones that understand the assignment.
