Women’s straight leg jeans keep a straighter line through the leg, but the overall fit can still vary. Look at how much room the jeans have through the seat and thighs, where the waist sits and how wide the leg opening is. A relaxed straight style can feel roomier than a more classic straight fit even when both keep the same basic leg shape.

Rise also changes the proportion. Straight jeans can come in low, mid and high waist, so compare the waistband position together with the leg shape rather than treating straight as one fixed fit.

Straight compared with wider and flared fits

If you want more volume through the whole leg, explore women’s baggy and loose jeans. If you want the leg to widen towards the hem, compare withwomen’s bootcut jeans.

You can also shop straight denim by rise through women’s low-waist jeans, women’s mid-waist jeans and women’s high-waist jeans, or browse all women’s jeans for more fits and washes.
