Denim

The same question comes up every time someone shops denim online: will this fit run true, or do I need to size up? Denim is the one category where a half-inch in the wrong direction means the difference between a pair you wear weekly and one that sits folded in a drawer. This page sorts everything by fit first, wash second, because that's the order it actually matters in.

Shop by fit

Straight leg. The most forgiving cut in the collection, even through the thigh and a clean line from knee to ankle, no taper to fight with. The Parke Straight Leg Jean is what we point first-time buyers toward, since it sits true to size and pairs with almost anything on top.

Wide leg. Roomier through the hip and thigh, with a relaxed drape down the leg that doesn't cling. Best worn slightly long, so size down if you usually go between two waist sizes. The Parke Wide Leg Jean runs a touch generous in the waist, which is the one adjustment to plan for before you order.

Skinny. Closest to the leg from hip to ankle, built for layering under boots or tucking into a tighter silhouette. Has the most stretch of the three, so it breaks in fast, order your usual size rather than going up.

Shop by wash

Washes move fast in this collection, especially mid-blue and black. Lighter washes show wear sooner, so if you're buying for regular rotation rather than the occasional wear, a darker wash holds its color longer through repeat washing.

How to choose

Straight leg if you want the safest fit to order without trying anything on first. Wide leg if you already know your hip measurement runs larger than your waist. Skinny if you're layering under something else. Whichever cut you pick, check the size chart on the product page before ordering, denim sizing varies more between fits than most other categories.

New washes and fits land regularly. If your usual size or wash isn't here, check back, this collection turns over often. Or browse all parke sweatshirts to shop the rest of the range.
