How to choose between them

There is no single right answer. It comes down to the look you like and how you prefer your jeans to sit. As general styling guidance:

  • If you like a neat, even line from thigh to hem, a straight fit is a natural place to start.
  • If you prefer a little more room through the hip and thigh, a relaxed fit may suit you.
  • Think about the wash too: a vintage wash has a worn-in character, while charcoal is a dark wash.

Still unsure? Check the size chart on each product page and compare it with your own measurements.

Finding your size

Both pairs come in waist sizes 28 to 36. Sizes can sell out, so each product page shows what is in stock right now. Each product page has a size chart with simple measuring steps:

  • Waist: measure around your natural waistline.
  • Inside leg: measure from the top of the inside leg at the crotch to the ankle bone.

You can find the chart on the straight-fit jeans page and the relaxed fit jeans page. Compare the chart with your own measurements before choosing a size.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between straight fit and relaxed fit jeans?

In general, a straight fit keeps a similar width from the thigh down to the hem, which gives a clean, even line. A relaxed fit gives a little more room through the hip and thigh. Exact proportions vary by brand and style, so we suggest checking the size chart on the product page.

Which of your jeans should I choose?

Start with the look you prefer. Our Vintage Wash Straight-Fit Jeans have a straight fit and a vintage wash. Our Charcoal Relaxed Fit Jeans have a relaxed fit and a charcoal wash. Both come in waist sizes 28 to 36 (check the product page for what is in stock), so the size chart and your own measurements are the best guide.
