Tapered Fit Menswear: What You Need to Know
Tapered-Fit is a fit that is mainly used for jeans and men's trousers. Tapered is English for narrowing in width, and that says exactly what makes this fit different. The trousers are roomy around the thighs, but the legs get narrower the closer you get to the ankle.
Tapered-Fit therefore says something different from fits such as Slim-Fit or Comfort-Fit. Those are about how tight the trousers are as a whole; tapered is about the shape of the leg. You will therefore often come across the term in combination with another fit.
Who is Tapered-Fit suitable for?
The room at the thighs makes this fit comfortable for men with muscular or sturdy legs: you do not feel stuck, while the trousers still look slim at the bottom. It is also a good choice if you simply do not like tight trousers, because you get the modern silhouette without the squeeze.
