WOMEN'S STRAIGHT-LEG JEANS, THE CLASSIC THAT NEVER LETS YOU DOWN
STRAIGHT-LEG JEANS, THE TIMELESS PIECE OF THE FEMININE WARDROBE
If only one pair of jeans could stay in your closet, this would be the one. Straight-leg jeans are the most universal cut in women's denim: not as fitted as skinny, not as loose as wide-leg, they flatter every body type without ever betraying the silhouette. At Place du Jour, straight-leg jeans have been our historic best-seller since 1989. Why? Because they look just as good with sneakers for the weekend as with heels for the office, and pair just as easily with a t-shirt as with a silk blouse. It's the ultimate style chameleon.
STRAIGHT-LEG OR WIDE-LEG — FINDING YOUR IDEAL FIT
Place du Jour's straight-leg fit is calibrated to fall straight from knee to ankle, never tight, never loose — a rare balance. For those who want more volume and a more contemporary feel, our wide-leg fit takes over with a considered fullness that never turns into clown pants. All our straight-leg and wide-leg styles are available in a high-waisted version to structure the silhouette. As for finishes: patch pockets on some styles, embroidered waistbands on others, broderie anglaise for the exceptional pieces.
HOW TO WEAR STRAIGHT-LEG JEANS — FROM DAY TO NIGHT
Straight-leg jeans love contrast. Paired with a fitted top, they balance the silhouette by playing with proportions. With an oversized shirt tucked in at the waist, they create an effortlessly chic French look. For a more structured feel, pair them with a tailored blazer and loafers. The washed version pairs well with white sneakers; the dark raw denim version dresses up with heels or leather boots. Straight-leg jeans are the piece that never needs to be in fashion, because they never go out of style.
