Woman wearing dirty wash folded top barrel jeans

Barrel jeans vs wide leg jeans on curvy hips: which one is for you?

Fit guide · Styling · 3 min read

Barrel and wide leg are two of the most wanted fits right now. Both relaxed. Both easy. On curvy hips, they do very different things.

wide leg: one long line.

Falls straight from the hip and stays wide to the hem. On curves it skims your hips and thighs instead of clinging, and draws one long line from waist to floor.

great if

You want to look taller, love heels, or want a fit that works with almost anything.

length

Your full length. The hem grazes your shoe or the floor.

style it

Tucked top, fitted bodysuit or a cropped knit, to show your waist.

barrel: shape and attitude.

Curves out through the leg and back in towards the ankle. A statement fit. On curves it adds volume through the leg, which balances fuller hips.

length

Made to sit at the ankle. Your inseam, or a few centimetres less.

style it

A shorter top or a tight knit. Volume below, fitted on top.

The short version

Want long and easy? Go wide leg. Want shape and a statement? Go barrel. Either way: snug at the waist, room for your hips.

Try both
