A trouser jean is classified as just that for a reason. It's a trouser. That means it should have a wider waistband that should sit higher than a normal jean. No low riders allowed here. In addition the leg should be straight on the upper thighs without pulling that the midsection- these jeans do not need to fit like a glove, they show off your length not your waist size. The pant should not taper at all down the leg, but if anything flare out just a touch at the ankle. Also try to avoid back pockets, it makes the look so much more casual than it needs to be.
Banana Republic, Trouser dark wash, $49.99
Pretty much exactly what you want to be looking for. Note the length comes to the top of the heel not the bottom.
Loft, Dark rinse modern trouser, $49 with code EXCLUSIVE
This jean has a larger sewn hem so it almost looks like a cuff. And an amazing price.
Old Navy, Flirt wide leg trouser, $39.50
These jeans are fantastic because they're black! Black denim is very hot right now.
Nordstrom, KUT Flare leg denim trouser, $49.90
Not only do these have a little more flare at the leg but they also have a little spandex in the material so they're super comfy.
That's my take for a good trouser jean. Perfect for a nicer dinner date or casual Friday at work. Just remember they're not going to fit like your Gap skinny jeans.
