Jeans for Boys

How boys’ jeans should fit

• Skinny Fit: Boys’ skinny jeans taper towards the ankle creating tight-fitting denim. You can make this even more snug by opting for the super skinny fit.
• Slim Fit: These jeans are meant to be a little looser than skinny fit, while still being tapered. This is perfect for boys who don’t want a fit as tight as the skinny jean.
• Straight Fit: Straight fit jeans are a good all-rounder, suitable for seasons. As the name suggests, they create a straight silhouette which is generally looser than skinny and slim fit jeans.
• Loose Fit: These are the loosest type of boys’ jeans with non-stretch denim, however, can still be tapered. This creates a relaxed look ideal for casual days out.
