Finding denim that fits well when you are tall can feel like a constant search. Legs are longer, proportions are different and most high street brands still do not cut jeans with tall frames in mind. The good news is that denim in 2025 is shifting. Styles are wider, inseams are longer and there is finally a focus on clothes that fit real bodies. If you are tall, slim or somewhere in between, this year’s denim trends actually work in your favour.

Here is a clear and useful guide to the top tall men’s denim trends for 2025, plus how to style them, what to avoid and where TALL TOGS fits into your wardrobe.

Longer inseams are now the norm

The biggest win for tall men in 2025 is the rise in longer inseams. Brands are finally realising that a 34 inch inseam is not long enough for men past six foot. Many denim releases now start at 34 and extend to 38 and 40.

At TALL TOGS, longer inseams are already a core part of the fit. Whether you prefer a slim cut or a relaxed leg, choosing the right inseam prevents your jeans from sitting too high on the ankle and keeps the whole outfit looking balanced.

If you have struggled to find jeans that stay the right length after washing, always look for inseams labelled tall or long. Avoid regular fits even if the waist seems right.

Relaxed and straight fits dominate

The skinny era is fading away. Straight, relaxed and slightly loose cuts are now the leading denim shapes. For tall men, these fits are ideal because they create better balance from top to bottom.

A straight leg from TALL TOGS pairs well with trainers, boots and even smarter shoes. The clean line suits both slim and athletic builds. A relaxed cut works well when you want comfort without drowning your frame. The key is keeping the waist and rise in proportion so you do not look oversized.

If you are very slim, choose a straight leg instead of a wide one. If you have long legs and broad shoulders, a relaxed cut will make your proportions look more grounded.

Wide leg denim makes a comeback

Wide leg jeans are one of the strongest fashion shifts of 2025. They create a modern silhouette and look surprisingly flattering on tall men because the extra room balances long legs. The trick is to pick a pair with a higher rise so the fit sits naturally at the waist.

TALL TOGS wide leg options are built for tall guys, so you avoid the look of jeans that are wide but still too short. A wide leg works best with clean trainers or chunky boots and a fitted top or bomber jacket.

If you are trying wide leg denim for the first time, start with a slightly wider straight leg before moving into a full wide cut. It helps you ease into the look.

Dark wash denim returns

While light washes and stone finishes are still around, 2025 is seeing a return to darker, richer tones. Deep indigo, charcoal and raw denim are back on top. These colours look especially good on tall men because they create a long, clean line.

Raw denim from TALL TOGS keeps its shape and structure, which is helpful if you prefer a sharper silhouette. Dark washes are also easier to dress up. Pair them with a fitted tee or a structured jacket and you have a simple but smart look.

If you want the longest lifespan from your denim, wash dark jeans sparingly and inside out.

Vintage looks with modern fit

Vintage inspired denim continues to trend, but fit has changed. Instead of low rise hip fits from the early 2000s, 2025 denim takes inspiration from 90s workwear. The difference is that newer cuts are designed with better structure for tall men.

TALL TOGS uses the vintage idea but adjusts the proportions so the waist, rise and leg length work with a tall frame. You get the classic look without the awkward sizing.

Look for features like heavy stitching, slightly worn fades and minimal distressing. Excessive rips can make long legs look even longer, so choose more subtle finishes.

Cropped denim but in tall lengths

Cropped denim is on the rise, but cropped for a tall man does not mean short. It means the hem sits just above the ankle in a deliberate way, not because the jeans are too small.

Some TALL TOGS pieces include a tall cropped option so you get the style without sacrificing fit. This style looks good with high top trainers or boots. Keep the top half neat to avoid looking bottom heavy.

If the jeans are more than two inches above the ankle, they will look accidental. Aim for a clean, controlled crop.

Neutral tones and soft colours

Along with classic blues, neutral denim is trending. Grey, washed black, sand and soft earthy tones work well on tall men because they keep the look clean and understated. These shades are perfect for capsule wardrobes where you want everything to mix and match easily.

Neutral denim from TALL TOGS is ideal for everyday wear. Pair soft tones with simple tees or jumpers. If you are wearing a louder jacket or shoes, neutral denim stops the outfit from looking too busy.

How to style denim when you are tall

Here are simple styling rules to make denim work for you in 2025:

Choose longer tops

Go for tops that end at or just below the hip. This keeps your proportions balanced.

Layer smartly

Bomber jackets, overshirts and hoodies from TALL TOGS layer well over denim without making you look narrow.

Pick the right footwear

Chunky trainers and boots add structure. Thin or flat shoes can make your legs look longer than you want.

Avoid too many skinny silhouettes

They make tall frames look sharper and more stretched.

Try new shapes

Wide, relaxed and straight fits are more flattering now. Do not be afraid to try a few different cuts.
