Diesel review

Diesel is the fashion choice on this list, aimed at buyers who care about wash and shape as much as durability. Its men's denim is grouped into bootcut, slim, skinny, regular and relaxed fits, and each core fit carries a year and a name, such as the 1985 Larkee regular, the 2007 Zatiny bootcut, the 1979 Sleenker skinny and the 2019 D-Strukt slim. The Larkee is described as a modern take on an archive fit, with a low waist and straight leg for everyday wear. For a softer feel, Diesel sells JoggJeans. Prices on the US store started at $195 for basic washes of the Zatiny and Larkee, while treated washes of the same Larkee fit ran up to $495. That spread means the fit itself is not the main cost driver: the finish is. Diesel publishes fewer measurements than Wrangler or Citizens of Humanity, so shoppers new to the brand should use its denim guide.
