What is a bootcut jean?
A bootcut sits close through the hip and thigh, then opens slightly from the knee down. It was first designed to fit over boots, and it balances the hips and lengthens the leg, which is why the cut is firmly back in fashion.
Bootcut or flare?
A flare widens noticeably from the knee, while a bootcut keeps the opening subtle. That makes a bootcut easier to wear every day, with trainers as well as boots.
For women and men
Most of our bootcut pairs are women's cuts, but many men choose them too for the fit through the rise. Every pair here is open to everyone, so check the measurements rather than the label.
Getting the length right
Bootcut jeans look best when the hem reaches the top of your shoe. Check the length on each listing and follow our Levi's size guide to compare it with a pair you own. Prefer a classic line? Browse straight jeans for women or for men, or see all our vintage Levi's jeans.
