Checkered Barrel Leg Denim Pants in Khaki

The barrel leg is having a moment for a good reason. It curves out through the thigh and tapers back in near the ankle, which gives you all the room of a wide leg without the fabric pooling around your shoes. These come in a khaki checkered denim, so the shape reads as a considered choice rather than a pair of jeans you happened to grab.

The denim is 98% cotton with 2% elastane, which is the small amount of give that keeps a cotton pant comfortable through a full day of sitting and moving. A drawstring at the waist lets you set the fit yourself, and there are pockets, which should not be worth mentioning but always is. Sizes run from 4 to 16, and the measurements below cover waist, hip and bottom length for every one of them.

Because the leg carries the interest, keep the top half quiet. A fitted tank or a plain tee tucked in lets the silhouette do its work, and a cropped jacket keeps the waist visible so the shape stays balanced. Flat sandals suit the taper, and a low heel lifts the whole thing for evening. The khaki sits comfortably next to cream, black and most denim, so these slot into what you already wear.
