Women's relaxed fit jeans

The relaxed fit: room through the hip and thigh

What sets a relaxed fit apart is the shape: extra room where you want it, through the hip and thigh, and a leg that keeps a clean line down to the hem. Denim N. 45 sums it up perfectly. It has a mid rise, a long straight leg and Japanese-inspired turn-ups, in a rinse-blue denim that stays deep and rich wash after wash, making it the one to choose if you're after relaxed straight jeans.

Denim N. 33 takes a more graphic approach, with a gently curved leg, utility-style panels and workwear pockets in sage green denim. If you like more volume, Denim N. 97 and N. 66 sit low on the hips and give the leg extra room: one in lightweight faded blue, the other in heavyweight dark brown with a coated finish.

Relaxed, loose or wide leg: how to choose

Relaxed fit jeans give you room through the hip and thigh, then fall straight. Loose fit jeans go bigger, with generous volume all the way down in a baggy or balloon shape, and you'll find them in our loose fit jeans edit. Wide leg jeans open out along the whole leg for a fuller, more fluid line: see our wide leg jeans for women.

Denim and colours

Every pair is made from 100% cotton denim, from the light, airy fabric of N. 97 to the heavyweight cotton of N. 66, and it softens and develops character as you wear it. Each finish has its own personality: a rinse blue that holds its depth, a faded overdye with a subtly worn look, a coating that softens over time.

Blue is the backbone of the range, from deep rinse to light fade, joined by two less expected shades: sage green and dark brown, both easy to pair with neutrals.

How to wear relaxed fit jeans

Women's relaxed jeans work for just about anything. Pair them with a chunky knit and trainers at the weekend, or dress them up for the office with a tucked-in shirt, a belt and ankle boots. The turn-ups on N. 45 show off loafers or boots, while the low-rise styles look great with a cropped or fitted top.

A fitted or tucked-in top balances the easy leg, and a long coat carries the line through. Looking for relaxed trousers in another fabric? Take a look at our relaxed trousers for women.

Caring for relaxed fit jeans

Your jeans will keep their colour longer if you wash them rarely and inside out. Most styles can go in the machine at 30 or 40°C and should be left to air-dry, while coated finishes are best taken to the dry cleaner, as the care label shows.
