The fashion whispers are getting louder, and they're telling us that cigarette jeans are back.

Not that we're endorsing the smoking habit (please don't), but when it comes to denim silhouettes? We're absolutely lighting up with excitement. (I'm so sorry, I'll see myself out.)

Watch: There's no perfect wardrobe size. Post continues below.

Think of them as the sophisticated middle child between skinny jeans and straight legs:

• Slim and fitted through the hips and thighs

• Straight and narrow from knee to ankle (no flaring here, thanks)

• Narrower at the opening than your classic straight legs

It's giving clean, tailored vibes with a modern streetwear twist — basically everything we want in our wardrobes right now.

The celebrity endorsement.

The OG style icon Princess Diana was the original cigarette jean enthusiast, wearing them as part of her groundbreaking off-duty wardrobe in the '90s.

She understood their power long before street-style photographers existed – pairing them with everything from oversized sweatshirts to tailored blazers, creating that effortless-but-polished aesthetic.

Dakota Johnson has been quietly championing this trend for ages, making cigarette jeans her go-to for effortless street style in New York and LA. 

Fashion's cyclical nature is serving us 1960s and 1990s nostalgia on a silver platter. After years of oversized everything, we're craving that sleek, elongated silhouette that makes us feel put-together without trying too hard.

Shopping like a pro.

Here's the insider tip: some brands won't actually call them "cigarette jeans" (we know, confusing). Hunt for these keywords in the straight-leg section:

• Slim, narrow fit from hip to ankle

• Ankle or cropped length

• Straight, tube-like cut with minimal flare

We've rounded up some of our faves for you.
