Three fits for a V-shaped build
Athletic Taper
If your legs are muscular too, Athletic Taper gives room in the thigh and a neat ankle. Measure your waist where the jeans will sit, usually just below the navel. $119.
Slim
Slim fit suits a V-shape with slim hips and legs. Choose Regular, not Snug: a little room in the leg keeps it in proportion with your chest.
Straight
Straight leg gives your legs the most presence of the three. Good in rigid or selvedge denim, which holds a strong line.
Are you an inverted triangle? (rules of thumb)
- Your chest is at least 9–10 inches larger than your waist.
- Your shoulders are clearly the widest part of you, wider than your hips.
- Your hips are about the same as your waist, or only a little bigger.
- Shirts that fit your shoulders billow at the waist, and jeans that fit your waist look narrow next to your chest.
What to look for in jeans
| Feature | Why it works for a V-shape | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Waist | Cut to your narrow waist, so no gap and no belt bunching | Every fit |
| Leg width | A straight or gently tapered leg adds weight below a broad chest | Straight, Slim |
| Thigh | Room for muscle if you train legs too | Athletic Taper |
| Wash | Mid and light washes, or ecru, give the lower half a little more visual weight | Any fit |
| Hem | A cuffed or chain-stitch hem draws the eye down | Any fit |
What made-to-measure fixes
A V-shaped man often has a small waist and an average or large seat and thigh. Sizes can't do both. We cut waist, hips and thigh from separate measurements and add ease for your fit preference, so you can have a 30" waist and a full thigh in the same pair.
Long torso, short legs, or the other way round? Inseam is its own number too, up to 40".
When not to choose
Skinny jeans can make the legs look slight under broad shoulders. If you like a close fit, Slim gives the look with more balance.
Try Slim instead
From your numbers to your door
Choose a style above and add your measurements in the step-by-step builder: about 5 minutes (how to measure). A pattern maker checks them within 1 working day, then your pair is made in our own workshop in 10–15 working days and covered by the Fit Guarantee: a free remake of your first pair in each fit.

Questions and answers
What jeans are best for an inverted triangle body shape?
A straight or gently tapered leg that gives your legs some presence, with a waist cut to your measurement. Athletic Taper if your thighs are muscular, Slim if they're not.
Should men with broad shoulders wear skinny jeans?
Usually not: a very narrow leg exaggerates the difference between top and bottom. Slim or straight looks more balanced.
What's the difference between an inverted triangle and a rhomboid?
Both have broad shoulders and a narrower waist. An inverted triangle has slimmer hips and legs; a rhomboid is muscular through the legs as well.
Why do my jeans gap at the back of the waist?
Your waist is smaller than a size chart expects for your seat. Cutting the waist and hips from two numbers closes the gap.
