For the past decade, skinny and straight-leg jeans have reigned supreme. Everyone and their moms wore second-skin bottoms with tapered or semi-tapered hems that weren’t exactly the most comfortable—or forgiving—bottom of choice. Well, the skinny jeans trend eventually evolved and shifted into mom jeans (high-waisted denim with a more relaxed fit), which have now bowed down to a new denim trend: dad jeans.
Dad jeans, in case you’re not familiar with them, are a little like mom jeans—but just different. Both have a more relaxed and comfortable fit and a high waist, but dad jeans have more of a straight-leg fit with a looser leg profile, while mom jeans are usually tapered around the hips and thighs. Consider dad jeans the denim cousin of your pandemic sweats: They’re here to support you in whatever you want to do and have zero plans to constrain you along the way.
Like all jeans, there’s some variation in the overall fit of dad jeans depending on the brand and style. And, of course, some dad jeans are better than others. These are the ones that would make your old man proud.
