Best Jeans for Men with a Triangle Body Shape

Keep the lower half clean and dark, with enough room in the thigh not to pull.

This guide is for the triangle body shape: hips at least 5% bigger than the chest, with a waist under 98% of the hip measurement.

Look for

  • Straight or bootcut jeans that fit the hips and thighs without squeezing
  • Dark, plain washes with minimal fading
  • A mid rise that sits at the hip bone
  • Stretch denim with a comfortable waistband

Skip or adjust

  • Skinny and slim-tapered jeans that draw attention to the thigh
  • Light washes, heavy fading and whiskering across the hips
  • Big back pockets and flap details on the lower half
