Finding the Perfect Pair of Jeans for Short, Slim Men
They’re slim but not restrictive, and the light wash is actually perfect for casual outfits.
What a pleasant surprise! Well played, Gap.
Well played.
Biggest Disappointment
A.P.C. Petit New Standard – I’d heard amazing things about these jeans, and they look so good on models, so I had high expectations.
Unfortunately, the ones I bought were way too big, which is ridiculous since I bought my actual size.
I’d have to size down to a 27 for them to fit properly (vanity sizing has gotten out of control).
But the details (like the size and placement of the pockets) would still be way too big for a smaller man.
Not to mention, these were some of the most expensive jeans on the list! Just goes to show, it’s not all about the price or the label.
12 Pairs of Slim Fit Jeans

And here’s the full list, including:
- Fit photos
- Brand/style
- Size
Also, each pair is linked to one or more places you can buy them online, just in case you see something you like.
#1: Gap Stretch Skinny
My Thoughts: These jeans fit well and look great. They probably won’t age as well as higher quality denim, but still, I’m very happy with this purchase.
#2: Uniqlo Slim Fit
My Thoughts: Uniqlo’s “slim fit” isn’t quite slim enough for my chicken legs. Guess I should stop skipping leg day…
#3: Uniqlo Skinny Tapered
My Thoughts: These need to be hemmed (they only had 34? inseams in stock), but other than that they fit really well, and they’re very comfortable.
These jeans almost made my top three.
#4: Levi’s 510 Skinny (eBay / Amazon)
My Thoughts: They fit well, they’re affordable, and they’re almost always available in a bunch of different sizes and colors. What’s not to love?
#5: Nudie Pipe Led
My Thoughts: These Nudie jeans are worth the price tag. They somehow manage to be super slim but comfortable at the same time.
Trust me, I did a few lunges while wearing them just to make sure.
