Alexander Wang Jeans: Balloon, Blow Up, Float and EZ Fits Explained

Alexander Wang jeans are mostly 100% cotton and come in named fits. Balloon and Blow Up are curved barrel shapes, Float is a mid-rise relaxed jean, EZ is a looser straight leg and the boxer drop waistband jean is slim. Many carry crystal hotfix logos on the pockets and fly. They are sized by waist from 23 to 32. Shop designer jeans at Luxury Handbags and read our guide to barrel jeans.

Balloon and Blow Up: the barrel fits

These are the jeans that put Alexander Wang at the front of the barrel-leg trend. The leg curves out from the hip and back in at the ankle, which makes the waist look smaller and the line look deliberate. Wear them with a fitted tank and a high mule.

Float

Float is the house’s relaxed mid-rise jean, a straight leg with room, sold in washes from vintage light indigo to faded black and grey aged, some with shadow pockets and crystal belt loops.

EZ and slim

EZ is a looser straight jean with a crystal mirror logo. The boxer drop waistband jean is slim, with a striped boxer showing above a lowered waistband.

Sizing

Take your usual waist size: 25 is XS, 27 small, 29 medium. See the Alexander Wang size guide for the full chart.
