About Joe’s Jeans
Joe’s Jeans was founded in 2001 by Moroccan-born designer Joe Dahan, marking it as one of the early pioneers in premium denim. Based in Los Angeles, the brand brings an unmistakably LA meets rock‑&‑roll sensibility to everyday basics.
What sets Joe’s apart is a fit‑first mindset: Dahan built the brand around the idea that no single jean works for all body types. Meticulous fittings across diverse figures led to a multi‑fit denim program, offering tailored silhouettes that cater to women and men of varying shapes and heights. Over two decades, the brand has become known for flawless tailoring, thoughtful stretch innovation, and celebrity appeal—its fits (like the iconic “Trixie” or “Hi Honey”) have cultivated a loyal following.
Fashionistas Taylor Swift and Hailey Bieber have been seen wearing Joe’s in multiple city outings.Jennifer Garner has mentioned she “swears by” the brand. Bella Hadid fronted a major campaign for Joe’s, even sharing that she owns more than 200 pairs. Eva Longoria helped popularize the brand’s wide-leg jeans trend, praised as ultra-flattering and comfort-forward.
Today, Joe’s Jeans is under the ownership of Centric Brands in partnership with WHP Global (acquired in 2021), operating a broad lifestyle lineup that includes women’s, men’s, and kids’ denim as well as ready‑to‑wear, outerwear, and accessories. Their collections are anchored by their core mission: innovative design, impeccable fit, and enduring style.

Joe’s Jeans Style Guide: The Cuts
The Stacey
Cut: Mid-rise, straight-leg
Details: A sleek, modern straight leg with a tailored feel through the thigh
Best for: Rectangle, Inverted Triangle, Oval
Why: This clean, balanced cut adds structure to straighter figures and balances broader shoulders or a fuller midsection. For ovals, the mid-rise helps avoid muffin top and streamlines the waist.
The Callie
Cut: High-rise, cropped bootcut
Details: Hugging through the hips and thighs with a subtle kick at the ankle
Best for: Hourglass, Triangle, Rectangle
Why: The high waist accentuates curves, while the bootcut balances hips and shoulders. The cropped length draws attention to the ankle, flattering for shorter torsos or those with defined waists.
The Blake —coming soon!
Cut: Mid-rise, slim straight
Details: A tailored slim leg, slightly looser than a skinny jean
Best for: Rectangle, Hourglass, Oval
Why: A universally flattering shape, it creates subtle curves on rectangles and streamlines curvier figures without clinging too tightly. The mid-rise gives midsection support for ovals.
The Ryan
Cut: Mid-rise, relaxed straight
Details: A tomboy-inspired, laid-back silhouette with room in the hip and thigh
Best for: Rectangle, Oval, Inverted Triangle
Why: Adds volume to balance broad shoulders or create the illusion of curves. Great for comfort-driven wearers who want structure without cling.
The Provocateur—coming soon!
Cut: Petite high-rise bootcut
Details: Designed with a proportioned inseam for petites and slight flare
Best for: Petite Hourglass, Petite Triangle
Why: The high-rise enhances curves and defines the waist, while the bootcut leg lengthens the frame—especially helpful for shorter women.
The Trixie
Cut: High-rise, wide-leg
Details: Nipped at the waist with volume through the leg
Best for: Hourglass, Triangle, Oval
Why: The fitted waist and dramatic leg shape define curves and camouflage fuller hips or midsections. Ideal for creating movement and visual length.
The Hi Honey
Cut: High-rise, curvy skinny
Details: Contoured waistband and stretch fabric designed for curvier figures
Best for: Hourglass, Triangle
Why: The cut hugs without gapping at the waist and accommodates hips and thighs comfortably. Perfect for highlighting natural curves.
The Lara
Cut: High-rise, cigarette
Details: Slimmer than a straight leg, roomier than a skinny
Best for: Rectangle, Inverted Triangle, Oval
Why: The silhouette is sharp but not tight, offering structure to straighter shapes and flattering fit through the leg. The high rise supports and defines the waist.
The Luna
Cut: Mid-rise, ankle skinny
Details: Classic skinny with a versatile, ankle-length crop
Best for: Hourglass, Triangle, Inverted Triangle
Why: Accentuates curves and shows off ankles, making it a favorite for shapely figures. Best paired with a flowy top or blazer to balance narrow or broad shoulders.
The Mia
Cut: High-rise, flare with vintage-inspired tailoring
Details: Slim through the hip and thigh with a dramatic flare
Best for: Hourglass, Triangle, Inverted Triangle
Why: The flare creates balance for both top-heavy and bottom-heavy frames. The structured waist highlights narrowest point and adds length to legs.
Joe’s Jeans Style Guide Bonus: The Joplin Raw Hem Skirt
This popular high‑waist midi skirt features a straight pencil silhouette, five-pocket detailing, and front vent. The raw-edge hem adds subtle interest across the bottom. Most versions use rigid or vintage/stretch denim—typically 99% cotton with 1% elastane—for structure with gentle give. The skirt falls approximately at a 26‑inch inseam, sitting just below the knee on most. Dress it up with heels and a blouse or down with sneakers and an oversized tee.
The best part? The Joplin works beautifully on every body shape! Here’s why:
- Hourglass: The high waist highlights a defined waist, while the straight cut and front slit emphasize curves without highlighting the hip line excessively.
- Rectangle: The front vent adds vertical interest that elongates the body; the structured waist offers defined shape.
- Triangle: Dark washes and the straight silhouette balance wider hips, with the slit offering ease for movement.
- Inverted Triangle: The pencil shape narrows the lower body, visually balancing broader shoulders—especially in lighter or colored washes.
- Oval: High rise helps smooth the midsection; structured denim offers subtle control without clinging.
