Denim Guide: The Best Jeans For Men

Great jeans start with the fit
Whether jeans are your everyday uniform or strictly reserved for the weekend, they remain a cornerstone of the modern wardrobe. Our men’s jeans collection builds on our most-loved silhouettes, while introducing contemporary shapes such as baggy and barrel, inspired by the enduring influence of Y2K style.
The straight fit remains a versatile essential and a firm customer favourite. The slim fit offers a clean, streamlined profile through the leg, finished with classic five-pocket detailing. Looser styles lend a more relaxed feel, and the skinny fit is our most form-fitting option. With shorter and longer leg lengths available – plus a wide range of styles in Big & Tall sizes – there’s a fit for every build.
Find your fit
Try our latest washes, fabrics and innovations
For a perfectly worn-in look, our authentic washes are designed to look good from the moment you put them on. New finishes have been introduced across our tapered, relaxed straight and loose fits, bringing a more effortless, off-duty feel to the collection. Functionality remains front of mind, with innovations such as our new comfort stretch denim, engineered for ease and wearability throughout the day.
Offering exceptional value, our denim collection includes investment-worthy styles like Autograph’s Japanese selvedge jeans. Crafted using premium denim from renowned specialist mill Kaihara, these jeans are prized for their quality, durability and timeless appeal.
