The design merges the relaxed, elastic waistband and tapered ankle of athletic pants with the rugged texture and structured tailoring of jeans. Typically, the upper part (waist to thigh) adopts denim fabric for a classic look, while the lower legs (knee to hem) use stretchy athletic materials (like polyester or spandex) for mobility. Some styles reverse this—denim on the calves and athletic fabric on the thighs—creating a bold visual contrast.
