Cigarette jeans the slim, straight-leg silhouette that hits at or just above the ankle are quietly making their way back into heavy rotation. They're not skinny jeans (the leg is straight, not tapered), and they're not wide-leg. They live in the in-between, and for summer, that sweet spot is exactly where you want to be.
Here's how to wear them without looking like you missed the memo on relaxed fits.

The structure of cigarette jeans paired with the softness of an oversized linen blouse creates beautiful contrast. Front-tuck the blouse, add flat sandals or mules, and keep accessories minimal.

A fitted cropped tee (not crop top there's a difference) that hits right at the waistband of your jeans. Wedges keep it looking polished. This is the outfit that works for casual Fridays and Saturday errands.

Cigarette jeans were basically designed for the tank-and-blazer combo. The slim line of the jeans balances the structure of the blazer. Add pointed-toe flats or kitten heels. This is the "I have a meeting but also a life" outfit.

Cigarette jeans and clogs are an unexpectedly great pairing. The ankle-grazing length of the jeans shows off the shoe, and the contrast between the sleek denim and chunky clog looks intentional. Add a simple tee and you're done.

A solid-color bodysuit tucked into high-waisted cigarette jeans gives you a smooth, streamlined silhouette. No bunching, no adjusting. Add statement earrings and heeled sandals for evening.

A Breton stripe top with cigarette jeans and ballet flats is the most effortlessly chic summer outfit that has ever existed. It's a cliché for a reason because it works every single time.

For a night out, swap the tee for a silk cami in a bold color, add strappy heeled sandals, and carry a structured clutch. Cigarette jeans dressed up for evening look surprisingly elegant.
Fit tip: Cigarette jeans should feel snug through the thigh and hit right at or just above the ankle bone. If they bunch at the ankle, they're too long. A clean hem line is what makes this silhouette work.
