| Cut | Features | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
| Skinny Fit | Very tight around the hips, thighs, and calves. Often contains stretch fabric. | For those who want a figure-hugging silhouette. |
| Slim Fit | Narrow cut, but not skin-tight. | Versatile, looks modern and polished. |
| Straight Fit | Straight leg line from thigh to ankle. | A classic all-rounder for almost any body type. |
| Regular Fit | Comfortable fit with a little extra room at the hips and legs. | For comfort and a timeless look. |
| Relaxed Fit | Loose cut with plenty of freedom of movement. | For a casual, relaxed style. |
| Loose Fit | Very loose cut, often seen in streetwear. | For those who prefer a deliberately loose look. |
| Tapered Fit | Wider at the top, tapering toward the bottom. | Good for fuller thighs or athletic figures. |
| Bootcut | Relatively slim up to the knee, slightly flared at the bottom. | Designed to be worn over boots; visually elongates the leg. |
| Flare | Significantly flared leg from the knee down. | Retro look, reminiscent of the 1970s. |
| Wide Leg | Wide-cut leg throughout. | Modern, relaxed style with plenty of comfort. |
| High waist, loose around the hips and thighs, slightly tapered toward the bottom. | Popular casual and vintage look. | |
| Boyfriend Fit | Loose and slightly “borrowed from a boyfriend” look. | Comfortable, relaxed casual style. |
Also important: The rise
The rise describes how high the jeans sit:
Low Rise: Sits on the hips.
Mid Rise: Sits just below the belly button.
High Rise: Sits at or above the belly button.
Easy mnemonic
Tight: Skinny → Slim
Classic: Straight → Regular
Comfortable: Relaxed → Loose → Wide Leg
Shaping: Tapered Flared: Bootcut → Flare

Combinations: Tapered Slim Fit
... combines two characteristics:
Slim Fit = generally cut rather narrow overall.
Tapered = the leg tapers downward, becoming narrower toward the ankle.
This creates a cut that: fits snugly but not skin-tight around the hips and thighs, offers sufficient freedom of movement in the upper leg area, tapers significantly from the knee down, and ends tighter at the ankle than classic straight-fit jeans.
