Women's Barrel Jeans

What Are Barrel Jeans?

Barrel jeans bring a bold new shape to denim. With a mid rise, relaxed hip, wide leg, and tapered ankle, they create a curved silhouette that looks structured, but feels easy.

The barrel shape is a fresh alternative to straight or wide fits, and it's catching on fast across Australia and worldwide. With a subtle cinch at the waist and a clean, elongated leg line, it’s the kind of shape that transforms your outfit and the way you wear denim.

The Difference Between Wide and Barrel Jeans

There's a clear difference between wide leg jeans and a barrel fit once you see them on. Barrel jeans are roomier through the thigh like baggy jeans, but they taper at the ankle to create a more defined shape. They're not as straight as straight leg jeans and not as loose as wide cuts.

This comfy in-between fit means barrel leg jeans are great for all body types. Use our size guide or head in store to find your best fit.

Universally Flattering Barrel Jeans For Women

Our women's barrel leg jeans are flattering on every body type, designed with movement and balance in mind. The extra room through the thigh makes them ideal for women with athletic or curvier builds, while the tapered ankle keeps the fit streamlined.

For petite frames, the high waistline and cropped leg help elongate the silhouette — especially when paired with boots or heels. Whether you’re drawn to denim for its structure or comfort,  barrel jeans deliver both in equal measure.

From Vintage Blues to Soft Neutrals

Colour sets the tone, and this edit proves it. Our range of women's barrel jeans features a mix of vintage blues, classic faded denim, earthy brown, and deep black washes that work across seasons.

Each pair brings a different feel — go dark for a more polished look, or keep it casual with a lived-in mid blue.

FAQs

Styling barrel jeans through the seasons comes down to smart layering and clean proportions. This versatile fit holds its shape, so it pairs well with simple staples and standout pieces alike.

Try these year-round outfit ideas:

  • Style with relaxed t-shirts and sneakers for a no-fuss, throw-and-go look.
  • In autumn, layer with a cropped denim vest or oversized shirt to play with volume.
  • For winter, balance the shape with a knit and ankle boots. If you're feeling extra chilly, add a trench or wool coat.
  • For nights out, wear your barrel jeans with a crop top and heels or slim sneakers.
