From the streets of Los Angeles to the runways of Paris, denim has always been about attitude. H&M’s jeans fit guide keeps that legacy alive with a sharp lineup that reflects how men actually dress now—relaxed, personal, and a bit nostalgic without feeling dated.
Whether it’s about proportions or posture, the guide sketches out a way to move through the world.
H&M Spring 2025 Jeans Fit Guide
H&M’s featured jeans styles break into five primary fits: Baggy, Super Baggy, Loose, Relaxed, and Straight Regular. Each is less about rigid classification and more about how jeans wear on you.
The baggy and super baggy fits sit in the same universe as 2000s skate nostalgia—low-slung, dropped crotch, and aggressively wide-legged. They read like a callback to Pharrell’s early BBC days or a Hype Williams video frame.
Fairfax and Collins are the names to note—two styles offering a full-leg drape with various denim washes, from pale blue to stone grey.
If that’s too much room to breathe, loose jeans taper or stay straight but still lean into the easy rhythm of broken-in denim. The Houston styles are standouts, cut with enough room through the thighs but refined just enough for the everyday uniform—especially in shades like light blue and black.
The Relaxed fit finds a middle ground between streetwear sensibility and weekend ease, keeping things roomy from thigh to ankle without overplaying its proportions.
And when you want something no-fuss? The Straight Regular fit—with a clean leg, subtle stretch, and a look that could’ve walked off a Levi’s ad from the ’70s—is the understated workhorse.
And while denim takes the lead here, H&M’s recent style edit has also zeroed in on cargo pants and shorts, giving utilitarian staples their due. As always, H&M keeps its edits accessible, easy to rotate, and right on the pulse of what men’s clothing looks like now.
