Men's and women's jeans: Nudie Jeans, Lee and G-Star
Men's and women's jeans range from slim to loose, including straight cuts, regular, barrel, and wide leg, in raw, faded, or black denim.
The cut is chosen based on the shoes: a wide jean balances a chunky sneaker, while a slim jean pairs well with a slender shoe. Raw denim, like that from Nudie Jeans, develops character with wear; Lee and Le Temps des Cerises complete the selection.
Jeans Nudie Jeans : Lean Dean, Steady Eddie II, Gritty Jackson and Rad Rufus
The Nudie Jeans, from the Swedish denim brand, lead the selection. The Lean Dean is slim and tapered, the Steady Eddie II is regular and tapered, the Gritty Jackson is regular with straight legs, and the Rad Rufus is regular straight, while the Tuff Tony has a loose fit; the brand also offers Grim Tim and Solid Ollie jeans. Many come in raw denim, the Dry version that wears in over time.
Black jeans and faded jeans: choosing your shade
After raw blue, black jeans are the easiest shade to wear: Nudie Jeans Steady Eddie II Dry Black Selvage, loose Tuff Tony Black Vintage jeans, or the more faded Rad Rufus Black Vintage. Faded blue, lighter in shade, like the Nudie Jeans Gritty Jackson Day Dreamer jeans, suits casual outfits and warm days.
Loose, barrel, and wide leg jeans
Loose fits include the Nudie Jeans Tuff Tony loose jeans for men, the barrel Armedangels Baarly, rounded at the knees, the loose Nudie Jeans Clean Eileen jeans, and the wide leg Only Madison for women. The baggy jeans are worn with thick trainers or ankle boots, hem resting on the shoe.
How to wear jeans: trainers, ankle boots or loafers
Raw or black jeans, in slim or straight cuts, go well with leather trainers, Chelsea boots, or loafers. Loose or wide jeans can be worn with thick trainers or retro runners, the hem resting on the shoe. For the office, a dark straight jean, with no wear, replaces chinos, paired with a shirt or fine knit. A denim jacket can be worn over jeans of a different shade to avoid a uniform look.
Women's jeans: Le Temps des Cerises, Only, Armedangels and Ichi
The women's jeans include the Le Temps des Cerises jeans, from the French brand that started in Marseille, featuring high-waisted jeans, along with Only and Ichi jeans, and Armedangels jeans, an eco-friendly fashion brand.
Men's jeans: Lee, G-Star, Wrangler and Jack & Jones
The men's jeans add to Nudie Jeans the Lee Luke slim tapered jean from the American brand, the G-Star 3301 regular tapered jean from the Dutch brand based in Amsterdam, also available in a straight tapered cut, Wrangler jeans, and Jack & Jones Glenn jeans from the Danish brand: perfect for finding your slim or straight jeans. For a change from denim, there's a selection of chino trousers.
White jeans, grey jeans, bootcut and baggy
The white jeans brighten up a spring outfit with a striped top or a blue shirt; the grey jeans, softer than black, go well with wool jumpers. The bootcut style, slightly flared below the knee, pairs with heeled ankle boots; the baggy jeans, loose throughout the leg, call for thick trainers. Slim jeans remain the most fitted style, to be tucked into boots.

Frequently asked questions about jeans
How to wash raw jeans?
As rarely as possible to keep the colour: air them out between wears. When washing, turn them inside out, wash them alone in cold water and hang them up to dry. Raw denim bleeds in the first washes: avoid light-coloured garments next to them.
What’s the difference between slim, regular, and loose?
Slim fits the leg from hip to ankle, regular allows room in the thighs with a straight leg, and loose is roomy from top to bottom. Tapered cuts narrow at the bottom of the leg.
Do jeans stretch with wear?
Yes, especially stretch cotton jeans which gain a bit of ease at the waist and knees. Raw cotton jeans without elastane stretch less but conform to the body: when trying them on, the stretch jeans are usually best picked slightly snug.
What length of jeans to choose?
The hem should fall on the shoe without too much bunching, or stop at the ankle for cropped or rolled-up jeans. Jeans that are too long need to be altered; a rolled hem remains the simplest solution.
High-waisted or low-rise jeans?
High-waisted jeans define the waist and are worn with a tucked-in or crop top; low-rise, more casual, pair with a long top. High-waisted styles elongate the silhouette.
