Our Jeans Fits
Explore six denim silhouettes that deserve a place in every wardrobe.
Skinny Jeans
A sculpting, close-cut fit from waist to hem, made from soft stretch denim that hugs your figure. Skinny jeans offer endless versatility - all washes and waist rises are easily dressed down with T-shirts and ballet flats, or up with shirts and low heels.
Straight Leg Jeans
Classic, timeless, and easy to wear - straight leg jeans are cut with a clean line from hip to ankle for a sleek silhouette. Wear with chunky boots or sneakers by day and with high heels for your evening plans.
Wide Leg Jeans
A flattering fit for all figures, wide leg styles are our throw-on-and-go favorites. Wide leg jeans feature a relaxed cut that isn't just for weekends - wear with a hoodie on off-duty days or with a fitted blazer for business-casual style.
Mom Jeans
High-waisted by design with a straight cut that ends above the ankle, Mom jeans are the ideal everyday staples. With their comfortable, casual fit, our Mom-style denim wears well with all footwear and everything in your wardrobe.
Bootcut Jeans
Slim fitting through the hip and thigh, bootcut jeans are finished with a sophisticated, subtly flared hem that showcases your footwear. Bootcut fits are as perfect with pointed heels and a halterneck top as with knitwear and chunky boots.
Flared Jeans
Iconic yet contemporary, leg-lengthening flared jeans feature a long length and wide hem. Adding flair to day-to-day outfits as well as party, festival and night-out looks, flared denim speaks for itself when paired with basics and holds its own with all your statement pieces.
Jeans Rises
Choose from jeans that cinch the waist, hug the hip, or sit somewhere in-between.
Low-Rise Jeans
These low-slung styles rest on the hip bone and elongate the torso. Channel Y2K style with low-rise baggy jeans, flared denim or any cut with added volume. Showcase the jeans with cropped or fitted tops.
Mid-Rise Jeans
A classic, comfortable cut that goes with everything from vests to sweaters, mid-rise jeans sit just below the navel and flatter every figure. Mid-rise straight leg or bootcut styles are timeless wardrobe staples.
High-Waisted Jeans
Designed to define the waist, high-rise fits smooth the silhouette and work well with all styles of denim. From high-waisted wide leg jeans to skinny and Mom cuts, these fits pair perfectly with tucked-in shirts and cropped tops.
Jeans Lengths
The right length denim gives you a streamlined look and sits neatly above your footwear. Find your precise fit for regular-length jeans or choose from ankle-cropped and floor-length styles.
Cropped Jeans
Cropped and ankle-length jeans are the perfect styles for spring and summer. From kickflares and capri jeans to ankle-grazing Mom styles, showcase your favorite footwear with our selection of cropped denim.
Regular Jeans
For a standard fit, choose regular jeans - generally cut with a 30- to 32-inch inseam to suit most women of average height. Explore full-length jeans in all styles, from barrel and wide leg to bootcut and boyfriend.
Long Jeans
Taller women - or those wanting a floor-skimming fit - can opt for long jeans. Long flares, baggy styles and straight jeans are perfect with heeled boots, platforms and chunky sneakers.
How to Measure Your Inseam for Jeans
Get the perfect length jeans by measuring your inside leg.
• Take a soft tape measure
• Measure from the top of your crotch to your ankle
• Record the length in centimetres (the measurement used for H&M jeans)
• Compare your results with the inseam measurement of jeans you want to buy - find this on the physical label or online description.
Alternatively, take a pair of jeans that fit you well, lay them flat, and measure them from crotch to hem.
How to Wash & Care for Your Jeans
Keep your denim looking its best with our care instructions.

Washing:

• Don't over-wash. Unless they get a stain or smell, jeans only need to be washed after around 10 wears.
• Spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove stains instead of using the washing machine. Scrub stubborn stains with an old toothbrush and more soap.
• Turn your jeans inside-out and fasten any zips or buttons before machine-washing to protect their color and shape.
• Avoid using fabric softener - this can leave a residue which affects denim's texture.
• Always wash at 30 degrees F (cold setting) or cooler to prevent fading and shrinking.

Color care:

• Dark/black denim: prevent fading by washing inside-out with a detergent made for dark colors, and only with other dark clothes.
• Light/white denim: only wash with other white items to prevent color transfer.

Drying:

• Always air dry - tumble drying can shrink denim.
• If hanging outside, keep jeans inside-out to protect the color from fading in sunlight (hang in the shade where possible).
• If hanging inside, avoid humid areas which can prolong drying and lead to your denim smelling musty.

Ways to Store Jeans:

• Hang in a wardrobe by the waist or belt loops.
• Fold in half lengthwise, then in half again, and store them vertically in a drawer - not piled on top of each other - for visibility and to prevent creasing.
• Roll them before placing in drawers to minimize creasing.
• Don't store in sealed bags or plastic, which can cause mould and musty odours.
