Like many on here i have bootcut and straight leg jeans.I'm interested to know what influences your decision when choosing to wear bootcut or straight leg jeans with sneakers / shoes. Imo bootcut such as nudie reg ralf looks good with pretty much everything i.e desert boots , low profile adidas italia. So what do you guys normally wear with what and why

I wear both bootcut and straight leg jeans with boots or sneakers, interchangeably. I don't really think about them that much.

A cut like the APC New Standard I feel really works for a "straight-taper" asthetic. I feel you can wear slimmer shoes with them and they look great. I do think though that my APCs fit a little looser than most who buy them.

I have an unofficial sizing system in my head. Chunky shoes = big leg opening. Skinny shoes = small leg opening.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
