Tapered jeans

What is a tapered jean, and why choose it?

A denim that's neither too straight nor too tight. That's exactly what the tapered jean offers.

An essential men's garment that goes everywhere with you

Tapered, this men's jean is roomy at the hips, fitted at the thighs, then gradually narrows down to the ankles. Designed for those who want to avoid the figure-hugging effect of the slim or the slightly too understated straight line of the STRAIGHT collection, while keeping the advantages of both.

The TAPERED jean, also known as the carrot cut, is designed to keep up with the pace. Between urban style and comfort. Between the buzz of daily commutes and weekend breaks.

Easy colours, responsible materials

At FAGUO, our TAPERED denim model comes in easy-to-wear colours: light denim, dark denim, black, ecru, beige and khaki green. Essential shades to integrate easily into your wardrobe.

Always in carefully selected materials, sourced from industrial offcuts or recycled fibres, to limit the carbon footprint of every FAGUO trouser and adapt to a more responsible lifestyle.

How to wear your FAGUO tapered jean every day?

Versatility is its strong point. You can wear it:

For outings with no dress code

A white t-shirt, a cotton jacket with pockets, a pair of sneakers. And your TAPERED jean to tie it all together. It's the kind of outfit that works, wherever you are. A cinema, a restaurant, a terrace. The tapered cut structures your silhouette and makes an impression without overdoing it.

For days at the office

You'd rather skip the overly formal black suit. But you want to stay smart. Your TAPERED jean in black or another understated shade bridges the gap. Pair it with an IVOY cotton shirt, a discreet leather belt and clean white sneakers. On top, a recycled wool jacket to handle the chill of urban commutes. It's a serious outfit, without being rigid.

For unplanned weekends

A soft hoodie, your favourite TAPERED jean, comfortable sneakers. The plan? You haven't decided yet. A market, a trip to the seaside, a forest escape or the urge to explore a new region. It doesn't matter. You know you can count on your FAGUO jean. It holds up. It keeps your pace. And it adapts, whatever the weather.

Whatever the season, the men's tapered jean adapts. Halfway between elegance and ease, with a real play on colours to vary the styles.

What's the difference between a tapered jean, a slim jean and a straight-leg jean?

Each cut has its own logic, its own feel, its own look. So, we've laid it all out to help you choose the version that will suit your daily life, according to your preferences.

The straight jean

It's the classic cut. Straight from top to bottom, no surprises. The straight jean or men's straight-leg jean suits all body types and goes with everything. Neither too fitted nor too wide. It reassures. It works. A safe choice, if you're just starting out or want to keep things simple.

The slim jean

Closer. More defined. The slim jean follows the lower body all the way down to the ankle. It accentuates the silhouette more. Perfect if you like clean cuts, but less suited if you're looking for ease.

The tapered jean

It's the cut that adapts. Fitted on top, narrower at the bottom. It follows your movement. It leaves room where it needs to. And it streamlines just what it needs to. The result? A modern silhouette, lasting comfort. It's the right compromise if you want a defined line without feeling constrained.

Still hesitating? Take a look at our list of men's trousers to discover all the shapes available at FAGUO.

Which cut to choose depending on your body type?

A good cut is one you forget once you're wearing it. One that falls well, doesn't pinch, and follows your movements. To help you see more clearly, we've reviewed our jeans according to different profiles.

Are you more on the muscular side?

With well-built thighs, things can quickly become uncomfortable. The TAPERED jean leaves room where it's needed, from the top of the thigh to the waist. Then it follows your body without clinging. And thanks to its tapered line, the silhouette stays balanced. A real plus when you want to combine freedom of movement with a neat look.

Do you have slim legs?

You can go for a slim if you want a close-fitting cut. But the TAPERED works just as well. It gives a little more volume at the top of the leg, while keeping a streamlined line. The result? A more structured silhouette, without the "tube" effect.

Are you tall?

When you're over six feet tall, things can quickly look like they're floating. The TAPERED recentres the silhouette. Its tapered hem creates a clean line, and its length stops exactly where it should: at the ankle. It's the right ally to avoid the "trousers too short" or "too wide" effect.

And if you want to explore other options, take a look at our men's chinos or a casual men's trouser. Two other easy-to-wear options, designed to keep up with your pace.

Our tips for caring for it

A well-cared-for pair of jeans is a pair that lasts.

Start with the essential: don't wash it too often. Once every 4 to 6 wears is more than enough. It will keep its shape, its colour, and you'll save water.

When you wash it, choose a short cycle at 30°C maximum. Turn it inside out before putting it in the machine, to protect the denim fabric and reduce friction.

Then, let it air dry. It's gentler on the fabric. And above all, forget the tumble dryer. It wears out the fibres and uses far too much energy.

A quick steam can be enough if you want to reshape the denim slightly. No need to iron it.

These are simple gestures. But taken together, they make a difference for your men's jean. Simple, eco-responsible care to make your men's tapered jean last.

An eco-responsible range

Behind every TAPERED jean, there's a choice. The choice to do things differently, with better-sourced materials and a production process aligned with our values. And to offset our carbon emissions, we plant trees in our French forests.

Depending on the model, we use a blend of fibres, including between 20 and 50% recycled cotton. These are materials sourced from industrial offcuts, reused to avoid waste.

Each jean is designed to last, but also to be recycled. The buttons and rivets are removable. The patch label is made from recycled paper. No detail is left to chance.
