Viktor & Rolf Jeans and Denim: 4 Cuts, 26 Pieces, Letter Sizing Explained

Viktor & Rolf denim is the surprise of the relaunched line. A couture house that makes jeans is unusual; one that cuts them like tailoring, in organic and Portuguese cotton, with a balloon leg and a stacked waistband, is rarer. 26 denim pieces live at Luxury Handbags on 17 September 2026, $880 to $1,360, median $1,040: 14 pairs of jeans in four cuts, plus denim jackets, denim skirts, denim shorts and a denim top. This guide explains the four cuts, ranks the twelve pieces to know, covers sizing (letter sizes, not inches) and tells you which jean goes with which shirt.

The four cuts

Balloon. The house’s tailoring silhouette in denim: high waist, full through the thigh, tapered to the hem. A size S measures up to 192 cm at the hip because of the leg volume. In blue, dark blue, light blue and off-white. Multi-layered. A second waistband and a second hem stacked on a straight jean, the denim version of the multi-layered shirt. In blue, dark blue, light blue and off-white. Couture square. A straight, squared leg with a clean front, the plainest of the signature cuts. In blue and dark blue. Straight-fit five-pocket. The conventional jean, and the least expensive at $880, in blue and dark blue. Bootleg. A flared hem, in light blue and off-white, also $880.

Sizing: letters, not inches

Viktor & Rolf jeans are sold in letter sizes, XXS to XXL, like the rest of the range, and they run true to size. A size S corresponds to a 70 cm waist, roughly 27 to 28 inches, with a 77 cm inseam, about 30 inches; the model wears an S at 177 to 180 cm. The balloon and couture square jeans are cut full through the leg on purpose, so do not size down to slim them; the straight-fit and bootleg jeans are conventional through the hip. The size guide has the full conversion.

How to wear the denim

With the house’s own shirts first: the Multi-Layered Poplin Shirt in White ($1,360) tucked into the straight-fit jean, the Dragged Neck Poplin Shirt in White ($980) with the couture square jean, the Crinkle Oversized Shirt in White ($1,300) open over a tank with the balloon jean. For evening, the Jabot Organza Top in Black ($1,680) over the dark-blue balloon jean is the house’s own high-low. Full denim works because the jackets and jeans share the same cotton: the square-shoulder jacket with the balloon jean, the multi-layered cropped jacket with the straight jean. See how to wear Viktor and Rolf and the shirts guide.

Fabric and care

Every denim piece is 100% cotton, and the Fall/Winter 2025 pieces are organic cotton. The house recommends washing less, cold and inside out, and line drying; the jackets and skirts can be dry cleaned. See materials and care.
