Best Slim Fit Jeans for Men with Large Thighs
It is challenging enough to find pants that fit well if you are a man with big thighs.
It is even more challenging if you want to wear modern, slim fit pants that are not baggy around the legs.
No matter whether you have athletic thighs or naturally large thighs, it isn’t your fault that it is so hard to buy modern, slim pants that fit your thighs.
Almost every guy I talk to with big thighs thinks he has a strange body shape. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard shoppers tell me that jeans are made for “normal people”, and having big thighs simply isn’t normal.
Nobody has a “normal” body shape.
Everybody, no matter how large their thighs are, have problems finding pants that fit because it’s so painful to shop for pants by fit.
Especially if you’re buying slimmer cut pants, it’s so hard to find pants that fit athletic thighs because
There are too many pants to try on. There are over a hundred thousand apparel brands that make pants. It would take years to sort through them all to find the best option for you.
Each pant has a unique shape, but no one tells you whether or not a slim pant can handle muscular thighs. Fit is personal, so it’s impossible for a brand to tell everybody exactly what the fit of their pants are without speaking to each customer individually.
Big box store brands make their clothing to fit their average customer. The problem is: guys with athletic builds and bigger builds are less likely to be shaped like a brand’s average customer.
My gym partner loves slim fit pants, but he does 325lb 5x5 squats. There’s no way he can walk into your average store and find pants that look great on his larger legs.
We spent the past several months measuring jeans from all the major brands.
We noticed that slim fit has a different meaning to each brand. What’s more, some brands make slim fit jeans that are great for bigger thighs.
We put what we learned into a list of the seven best slim fit jeans for men with large thighs.

7. Levi's 527 Slim Boot Cut
About the Pant
The 527 jeans are slim like the 511's, but with a twist. Boot cut jeans have more room around the leg opening to, like the name suggests, go around a pair of boots. Don't worry: you need not wear the 527's with boots at all. They style well with almost any pair of shoes. The extra room at the bottom creates a more classic look than more modern slim jeans.
