What loose fit means in men's jeans (and why it isn't baggy)

Men's loose fit jeans

Loose fit means a relaxed fit at the waist and thigh that narrows towards the ankle. It is not baggy: it sits closer to the body than the name suggests.

Loose fit and baggy: the difference in centimetres

Size 32 Loose fit Baggy Slim
Garment waist 93 89 81
Thigh 65 66 59
Inside leg 66 80 73
Leg opening 34 42 28

Garment measurements in centimetres, from our Size Guide. At the waist and thigh, loose fit is close to baggy. The difference is lower down: the leg narrows to 34 cm and the inside leg is 66 cm, so the jeans end higher at the ankle.

Who it suits

  • Anyone who wants room in the thigh without a very wide leg.
  • Anyone who wears sneakers and doesn't want the jeans to fall over the shoe.
  • If you want a wide leg all the way down, choose baggy.

What size to get in loose fit

Take your usual size. Don't take a larger one to make them baggy: the waist will get wider, not the leg. In the Size Guide of every product, enter your height and weight to see the recommended size.

Frequently asked questions

Is loose fit wide?

It is relaxed at the waist and thigh, but narrows towards the ankle. For a very roomy fit there are baggy jeans.

Is it the same as relaxed fit?

Both are roomier than regular. In our collection, loose fit narrows at the hem. The fit of each product is shown in its Size Guide.
