Leg shapes
compared

Most types of jeans fall into six leg shapes. The name on the label changes from shop to shop, but the shape of the leg from thigh to hem is what you see in a photo.

Fit is how close the jeans sit to the body; cut is the line of the leg; style is everything else — wash, rips, rise and length.

Rise: where they sit

The rise is the distance from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband. The same leg shape looks different at low, mid or high rise, so many fits come in more than one.

Low rise

Low rise

Sits lower on the hips. A relaxed, laid-back look.

Common in baggy and some bootcut styles; filter by rise in the try-on.

Mid rise

Mid rise

Sits around the natural waist. An everyday option.

Usually: Slim, Tapered, Relaxed, Baggy, Bootcut, Boyfriend, Stacked, Cargo.

High rise

High rise

Sits at or above the natural waist. A longer leg line.

Usually: Skinny, Straight, Wide leg, Barrel, Flare, Mom, Bell bottom, Pleated, Cigarette.

Length: where they end

Cropped jeans end above the ankle and show your shoes; full-length jeans reach the shoe, and baggy styles stack on top of it. The length changes the proportions of the whole outfit.

Your photo cannot determine an exact inseam. The try-on shows how the jeans look, not a guaranteed length or fit.

Quick answers about types of jeans and trying them on with TryDenim.

How many types of jeans are there?

There is no fixed number — brands invent new names every season. Most jeans fall into six leg shapes: close, straight, tapered, curved, flared and wide. Our catalog has 14 women’s and 11 men’s fits across them.

What is the difference between fit, cut and style?

Fit is how close the jeans sit to your body, cut is the shape of the leg from thigh to hem, and style covers the rest: wash, rips, rise and length. Shops often use the words interchangeably.

Which types of jeans are made for both men and women?

Skinny, straight, bootcut and baggy exist in both, cut on different patterns: men’s jeans are usually mid rise and straighter through the hip, women’s are more often high rise.

Which type of jeans will suit me?

It depends on the look you want more than on any rule. The quickest way to decide is to see two or three fits on the same photo of yourself and compare them side by side.

Does the try-on tell me my size?

No. It is an AI visualization of how a style looks on your photo. It does not measure you, determine your size or guarantee how a pair will fit.

Can I try a pair that is not in the catalog?

Yes. Choose «Upload my jeans» in the try-on and add a clear front photo of the pair, for example from a shop page.
