Relaxed Jeans for Women

Relaxed Fit Jeans for Women

What defines a relaxed fit jeans?

A relaxed fit jeans for women is loosely cut and sits comfortably away from the leg. It gives more room at the hip, thigh and leg than close-fitting styles, making for a comfortable, laid-back feel. Relaxed jeans for women can have a straight, slightly tapered or rounded cut through the leg. This gives them a casual look without feeling shapeless. You'll find the looser styles in various waist heights, made predominantly from cotton.

How should a relaxed jeans fit?

A relaxed jeans should feel comfortable without pulling at the hip or thigh. The waistband sits securely, the leg falls loosely, and there's plenty of freedom of movement whether sitting or standing. Unlike a tight-fitting jeans, it's not supposed to cling – the relaxed drape is exactly what defines this cut. Styles with a little stretch give extra give, whilst pure cotton versions sit slightly firmer and soften with wear. The most important thing is that the waistband fits well and the leg falls freely. Ultimately, it comes down to what feels right for you.

What is the difference between relaxed and straight jeans?

Both cuts are non-tight, but they differ in how the leg fits:

• Straight Fit: runs in a clean, straight line from thigh to hem for a neat, unfussy look.
• Relaxed Fit: sits overall looser, with more room at the hip and thigh and a more casual drape.

In short: a straight jeans creates a defined line; a relaxed jeans is all about an easy, comfortable feel. If you want a clean, straight silhouette, go for the straight jeans for women. If you prefer something more relaxed, the relaxed fit is the right choice.

How do I style relaxed fit jeans for women?

The loose cut works best with contrast: a relaxed leg balanced by a slightly more fitted top. A tucked-in T-shirt or a slim-cut blouse gives the relaxed silhouette a little shape. For a fully laid-back look, a sweatshirt works perfectly. Ankle-length barrel and tapered styles pair well with flat shoes like trainers, which complement the casual look. On warmer days, sandals also work well, as shorter lengths leave the ankle exposed.
