Best Jeans for Men with a Rectangle Body Shape
A rectangle shape suits most jeans, so choose a cut for the look you want rather than to fix a proportion.
This guide is for the rectangle body shape: chest and hips within 5% of each other, with a waist between 90% and 98% of the wider of the two.
Look for
- Slim, straight or tapered jeans in a mid-wash for a clean line
- A mid rise that sits at the hip bone
- Stretch denim with a bit of texture, such as selvedge or a coated finish
- Pockets and details that add shape at the seat
Skip or adjust
- Very baggy jeans with a low crotch, which can look shapeless
- Skinny jeans that reveal no curve at the hips
- Flat, faded denim with no structure to give the lower half definition
