The cigarette
leg
Cigarette jeans have a slim, straight leg: narrow from the thigh down, but cut straight rather than hugging the calf, and hemmed at the ankle bone. The name comes from the clean, narrow line — like a cigarette.
They sit between skinny and straight leg jeans, usually with a high rise and less stretch than skinny jeans.

How to wear
cigarette jeans
Cigarette jeans show the ankle, so the shoes are part of the outfit.
Try cigarette jeans on your photoShoes that show the ankle
Loafers, ballet flats, low sneakers and slim heeled boots all suit the narrow ankle-length hem.
Tucked or cropped tops
A tucked shirt or a short knit shows the high waist; a long blazer over it keeps the line long and narrow.
High rise, rigid denim
Most cigarette jeans are high rise in firmer denim, so they keep a straight line instead of clinging like skinny jeans.
5 —The ankle
The ankle
length
Cigarette jeans end at the ankle bone. That short, clean hem is what separates them from slim straight jeans that reach the shoe.
Your photo cannot determine an exact inseam. The try-on shows how the jeans look, not a guaranteed length or fit.

What are cigarette jeans?
Cigarette jeans are slim, straight leg jeans that end at the ankle. They are narrow from the thigh down but do not hug the calf like skinny jeans.
Are cigarette jeans the same as skinny jeans?
No. Skinny jeans follow the leg all the way down; cigarette jeans are straight below the knee, a little looser, and cut shorter at the ankle.
What is the difference between cigarette and straight leg jeans?
Both have a straight leg, but cigarette jeans are narrower and ankle length, while straight leg jeans are roomier and usually full length.
What shoes go with cigarette jeans?
Loafers, ballet flats, low sneakers, pumps and slim ankle boots — anything that looks good with the ankle showing.
Are there cigarette jeans for men?
The cigarette cut is mostly a women’s style. For men the closest fit is slim; you can try slim jeans for men in our catalog.
Will the try-on show if cigarette jeans fit me?
It shows how the cigarette shape looks on your photo. It is an AI visualization only — it does not determine your size or guarantee a physical fit.
