Barrel Jeans

Barrel jeans curve — full through the thigh, arcing in toward a cropped ankle, like the profile of a horseshoe. The shape only exists if the fabric can hold it; light cloth turns a barrel into a slouch. This is the sculptural end of volume denim: same family as baggy jeans, different geometry.

Barrels crop on purpose — the ankle should show or graze the shoe top. True to waist size.
