Cigarette Jeans were released
Designed by the Jeans Innovation Center in Los Angeles.

Launched in Los Angeles in 2016,
the Jeans Innovation Center is a special collaborative environment in which we strive to develop the most comfortable,
on-trend denim. It’s where cigarette jeans — and all our styles — were born.

A New Form of Skinny: Cigarette Jeans

Skinny, but not too slim, cigarette jeans were created to make each and every woman feel their best. With a straighter cut, cigarette jeans bring the carefree atmosphere of Los Angeles to your daily wardrobe.

#01

- Lauren’s Style

“I like their comfort and their preached feel. They go with everything — sneakers on the weekends and heels at night. The design goes so well with this city, where urban settings and nature coexist.”
- LAUREN

Cigarette jeans are more relaxed than everyday skinny jeans, but still slim. Their on-trend silhouette feels classic and fresh at the same time.

#02

- Mary’s Style

“The high-rise is such a classic look. They make my legs look long and beautiful, and they go with everything in my wardrobe. The jeans are stretchy, so they’re comfortable, too.” - MARY

Rough but cool, the relaxed feel of cigarette jeans is laid-back and chic.

#03

- Amrita’s Style

“Cigarette jeans combine my favorite parts of skinny and boyfriend jeans. I can wear them just to relax.” - AMRITA

Soft cotton and a slim-cut silhouette, they’re the jeans you want to wear every day.

#04

- Kalina’s Style

“Jeans are a symbol of California casual. That’s why I wear them every day. The lines are so great — they look good on everyone.” - KALINA

The comfortable fit of cigarette jeans is a result of hours of research and testing. We’re happy to showcase a jean that not only looks good, but feels good, too.

“The straight cut below the knee creates a slimming line versus regular skinny-cut jeans. The sleek, soft denim makes every women’s legs look longer and leaner. I also focused on fading to give them a lived-in look. It’s a pair of jeans that brings the relaxing atmosphere of Los Angeles to you.”
