Can men wear women's jeans?
Yes.And they should, because they’re very fashionable and the skinny jeans trend isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon.I was born male (and still have all of my male body parts, for the record) and I wear women’s jeans every single day when I’m not wearing women’s leggings.I have never had any fit issues - once I found the right designer brand to wear.I can’t wear NYDJ (“Not Your Daughter’s Jeans”) because they are designed for women with much larger hips than I have but I have found several brands that fit me perfectly:J. BrandKelsie JeansKut from the KlothBlue EssenceGloria Vanderbilt…. and others too.I’ve tried on well over 100 pairs of women’s jeans from dozens of designers. Some fit better than others, but this is true for women too. Nobody fits into every designer’s jeans.I don’t wear boyfriend jeans because I’m aiming for a woman’s fit - not a man’s fit. I learned early on that I cannot wear low-rise jeans and given my age, most women in my age range wouldn’t wear low-rise jeans either — low-rise jeans are designed for younger women including teenagers. I want my jeans to sit on my waist and mid-rise or high-rise jeans will do that perfectly.Men’s jeans suck. They have the shape of long tubes which hang straight down, and they are far too heavy. A strong belt, tightly pulled across the waist is the only thing holding them up on me.Women’s jeans, being noticeably lighter, don’t require a tourniquet-type belt to hold them up. I can wear some styles of women’s jeans without any belt at all.The main “give-away” or “reveal” when men wear women’s jeans is the designer logo on the back pocket which is fairly common on women’s jeans. Men’s jeans (Levi’s, Lee, Wrangler) typically have a leather-like emblem sewn onto the waist. The denim is thicker, generally more coarse, and without question can take far more abuse than women’s jeans which are more of a fashion statement than they are just a utilitarian garment.A stylist I worked with many years ago turned me onto women’s jeans and I haven’t looked back - even once - to this day.
