Best Jeans for Men with an Inverted triangle Body Shape

Add visual weight below the waist with straight or relaxed jeans, not skinny cuts.

This guide is for the inverted triangle body shape: chest at least 10% bigger than the hips, with a waist under 98% of the wider measurement.

Look for

  • Straight or relaxed-straight jeans with a little room in the thigh
  • A mid rise that sits at the hips and fills out the seat
  • Medium and light washes, or subtle texture, that add volume to the legs
  • Back pockets that are a normal size and sit slightly wider apart

Skip or adjust

  • Skinny and super-slim jeans that make the legs look small next to the upper body
  • Very dark, plain jeans paired with a busy top
  • Low-rise cuts that drop the waist and shorten the legs
