Tapered fit, huh?
Let's start at the beginning; what is tapered fit? The meaning of tapered fit can be deciphered by looking at the translation of “tapered”, which in fact means “funnel”. This means that the tapered jeans fall on the upper legs just like the familiar regular or straight fit jeans, and taper from the knee to the ankles. This makes the jeans fall narrower at the bottom, so the trouser leg of the jeans comes to rest on the shoe as it were. At the same time, tapered jeans make a well-groomed and stylish impression, because the fit, unlike a regular or straight fit jeans, still follows the shape of your legs.
Who is it for?
The tapered jeans are suitable for many occasions. This way you easily combine the jeans with a t-shirt, jumper or sweater for your free time. Wearing your jeans to work? Then choose tapered jeans without striking washes; the jeans from MAC and Pierre Cardin are extremely suitable for this. Combine the stylish tapered jeans with a shirt, blazer and lace-up shoes with a matching men's belt, et voila!
In terms of fit, the tapered fit lends itself well to men of average to tall height. The tapered fit jeans are also a good choice for men with a sturdy or broad build.
Tip for the taller gentlemen among us: Because of the funnel shape, the length of the jeans is visually broken up, making you look less tall than when you'd wear straight or regular fit jeans.
The tapered fit is moreover suitable for gentlemen with a slim-to-average build up to a hearty build. For slim men, the normal tapered fit is usually not the best option; it usually falls too roomy on the legs, in which case skinny-fit jeans are the best option. This very slim-cut fit is also only suitable for thin people.
