Denim Decoded: Love of Lemons denim fit guide September 2024

Slim Leg

In a slim fit, The Lee Rider Jeans Modern Mid Blue, £95, feature a regular waist and with a slim leg, these include iconic Rider details from the historic 1941 Rider Jeans for men. There is a straight outseam, with bigger back pockets for more attitude. These also have a slightly opened waistband to give them the borrowed-from-the-boys feeling, but they still look really feminine.

This heavyweight Tencel denim is made using a high quantity of lyocell, giving it solid sustainability credentials, while the addition of stretch delivers a comfortable wear. A super wearable mid blue with a clear highlight on the thigh and knee, this finish serves up a perfect every day jean for modern styling. These are finished off with the authentic five-pocket design details of metal rivets and the Lee button. Contrast colour stitching brings a warm orange complement to the denim.

Straight Leg

The Lee Rider Loose Straight jeans, £85, are a flattering take on contemporary denim. A loose straight leg, full length silhouette, that sits nicely on the waist. The Blue Flame wash is a beautiful, bold blue with contrasting highlights across the front for a really lived-in, vintage appeal. Finished with natural crease marks for added movement and texture that only get better with age. Finished with Iconic Lee back patch and metal buttons and rivets that complete the heritage appeal. 

Loose Fit

These Object Denim Loose Fit Jeans, priced at £58, have been a big hit in-store, and it's easy to understand why! Featuring an elasticated waist and a loose fit, they're designed for all-day comfort. The barrel leg and paneling give them a silhouette reminiscent of the popular Le Bon Shoppe Arc pants, but at a much more affordable price. The contrast stitching adds a striking touch to the dark wash denim whilst the shoestring lace offers a subtle nod to Rick Owens' aesthetic, delivering a designer look for less.

Wide Leg

The Numph Nubrooklyn Jeans in Mid Blue Denim offer another great wide-leg option. Crafted from a heavier denim compared to the Object jeans which, along side the addition of the coin pocket gives the jeans a more structured and traditional look. The high-rise fit is flattering, helping to elongate the legs, while the denim tie detail allows for a customizable fit. Priced at £109 they sit on the higher end of the spectrum, however the cost is justified by the superior quality and design, which will last for years to come.

Super Wide Leg

Object has been absolutely killing it with their basics lately, and these jeans are no exception. The Object Wide Fit Jeans in Grey Denim and Medium Blue Denim, both priced at £58, offer an effortlessly on-trend slouchy, wide-leg silhouette that’s perfect for casual wear. Made from super soft denim, they promise comfort as well as style. The front pleat adds extra volume to the shape, while the dropped crotch creates a relaxed, laid-back fit that channels a cool, skater-boy vibe. An effortlessly versatile staple that you can dress down with a vintage sweater and trainers or elevate with heeled boots or Loafers for a dinner or night out.

These jeans combine fashion-forward design with everyday ease, making them a must-have for anyone who loves a loose, comfortable fit. 

Maxi Skirt 

There's something undeniably appealing about a maxi skirt, and the Lee Back Slit Maxi Skirt is no exception. It features a sleek, streamlined silhouette from thigh to ankle, with a back slit that adds movement while keeping the front polished and refined. Crafted from cotton with a touch of stretch, the fabric is comfortable and easy to wear. The raw hem adds a bit of attitude and allows for easy customisation if it's too long—you can simply cut it to fit. Over time, the 12.5oz crosshatch denim develops a distinctive crisscross pattern as it fades, giving it a unique edge compared to traditional denim. At £60 this is a must have for your Winter wardrobe.
