Women's Denim Style Guide

Here at WYSE, we believe denim should be effortless, stylish, and made to fit you perfectly. With so many options available, finding your ideal pair can feel overwhelming, but this denim style guide makes it easy. Whether you’re seeking iconic classics or exploring new season silhouettes, our denim fit guide will help you choose the right cut, wash, and shape for your body type and personal style. From barrel-leg to wide-leg, these are the different types of jeans that belong in every modern wardrobe — and how to wear them.

Barrel Jeans

A Modern Take on Classic Denim

Barrel leg jeans are designed to sit high on your natural waist for a flattering, cinched-in fit, while offering a relaxed, wide-leg shape through the hips and thighs. Tapering back in at the ankle, this curved silhouette balances proportions beautifully, creating a structured yet effortless look. Many of our barrel-leg jeans feature a curved front seam or darts to enhance the barrel shape, and select designs include a touch of stretch for all-day comfort. For a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up. This ankle-grazing denim style is incredibly versatile. Pair it casually with trainers, sliders, or sandals for a laid-back vibe, or dress it up with slingback kitten heels. Complete the look with a tucked-in shirt or jumper to highlight the waistband and create a polished, fashion-forward outfit. This is one of the most on-trend jeans styles right now and a must-try if you’re exploring different types of jeans.

Wide-Leg Jeans

Relaxed Fits for Every Wardrobe

A WYSE bestseller, our full-length wide-leg jeans offer the perfect blend of comfort and style. Designed with a choice of mid-rise or lower-rise fits, they feature a relaxed silhouette that widens from the leg, creating a flattering, elongated shape. Wear them on your hips for a slouchy, laid-back vibe or on your waist for a more defined fit, simply size up or choose your usual size.Like our flares, wide-leg designs can come with raw hems for easy length adjustments or drawstring waists for flexibility. Pair them with trainers and a tee for casual wear or with sandals and a blouse for a chic, everyday look.

Straight Leg Jean

Straight Silhouettes, Endless Versatility

Our straight jeans reimagine classic denim with effortless versatility. Designed to sit at a comfortable mid-rise on your natural waist, straight-leg styles skim the hips and fall in a clean, elongated line for a flattering, balanced silhouette. Choose from tailored straight jeans with flat waistbands and front creases for a polished finish, or opt for timeless everyday cuts for relaxed weekend wear. Style them with loafers, trainers, or ankle boots, and pair with a cosy knit in winter or a simple tee in summer. Straight jeans are a wardrobe staple in any denim collection, offering a sleek shape that transitions seamlessly between seasons and complements everything from casual layers to elevated looks.
