The verdict
Fit
Low-waisted with a flare from the knee, fitted through the thigh; expect a wider leg opening than the brand's straight or skinny styles.
Quality
At this price, expect standard construction typical of Diesel's simpler, less-embellished pieces rather than anything premium.
Is the price fair?
$147 is fair value within Diesel's range for a distinct flare cut in a versatile dark wash.
Best for
Someone wanting a dark, flared jean for a change from straight-leg basics.
Care
Wash inside out in cold water to protect the dark tone.
What owners report about Diesel jeans
Owners describe Diesel's denim as sturdily built: sturdy stitching, heavy-duty zippers, and a cotton-elastane blend that keeps pairs flexible rather than flimsy. On owner forums, people report pairs still fitting well and holding their wash after five to six years of regular wear, describing the jeans as lighter-weight and more comfortable than expected for the style. The cuts are snug through the seat and thigh with room to move rather than a roomy, relaxed fit.
- Strengths

- Watch out for
- The fit runs snug and style-driven rather than roomy, and owners say sizing needs to be chosen carefully to get the cut right.
- Sizing
- Most owners report the line running true to size across fits from relaxed to skinny, but the cut is snug through the seat and thigh rather than generous.
