Slim-Fit vs Straight-Fit Jeans. What looks best for me?
Tried some Straight-Fit Jeans (Next, UK) for the 1st time last week and I really like em.
Nice silhouette and like the overall look (I've cuffed em myself in photo).
Family 'feedback' have said they prefer the slim, as straight has too much room/material around ankles.
Understandable. I also like slim, as suprising they follow my legs shape nicely.
And sometimes side profile, the straight fit do look a little...baggy/wide? (again, understandable).
I'd be happy to get these Straight-Fit £29 pants hemmed and see what they look like....
But thoughts?

My vote is slim
But obviously don't listen to anyone who likes slimmer fitting stuff /s
these pants are nearly identical. both look a bit tight in the top block (notice the fabric pulling?) the only difference I can tell is a bit of extra taper on the slim.
the straight are absolutely not "baggy" - it looks like a totally normal straight cut
I would not take fashion advice from anybody who thinks that this is "too much room/material around the ankles"
(Thanks for cropping/resizing/rotating to make the comparison easy for us)
this is what baggy jeans looks like btw. these jeans are not anywhere close
Which do you prefer?
I would def try a size up in both to see how they look. I’ve mostly given up on sizing jeans by waist, and size by thighs and belt the waist
They’ll drape a little cleaner and give you a better sense of the cuts
Of these two options, the straight look more balanced and proportional to the rest of the outfit imo
Ye I hate when photos dont do it justice lol.
I even zoomed x2 as per advice in #general-chat lol.
I would defo not go up a waist. These are perfect at a 30 waist with a bit of room.
I guess this was the 'wideness' they saw lol
But it's a straight shape at the end of the day 😂
Ye thanks lol.
I think they are just seeing a major difference between slim vs straight. Which is quite obvious below the knee.
+1 for slim
But the straight would be a bit more on-trend, if that matters to you, you can't go wrong with either
Genuinely the difference between the two is almost nonexistent so go with whichever you feel best in.
not really much difference, follow your heart
