Diesel jeans have a naming system all their own: a year and a name that almost always starts with “D-”. The year refers to the era that inspired the fit, while the name identifies the model. Here’s how to find your way around the models available at Blue Express.
Men’s fits
- 1979 Sleenker – skinny: close-fitting from waist to ankle, for a sleek look.
- 2019 D-Strukt – slim: follows the leg without feeling tight, making it the most versatile option for everyday wear.
- 2001 D-Macro – relaxed: roomy and straight, with the spirit of early-2000s denim. Perfect with chunky sneakers.
- 2023 D-Finitive – regular: the middle ground, neither tight nor loose.
Women’s fits
- 1996 D-Sire – straight: straight leg, a foundation that goes with everything.
- 1989 D-Mine – straight with an '80s feel.
- 1978 D-Akii – bootcut and flare: widens below the knee, elongates the silhouette, and has made a major comeback.
- 2016 D-Air – boyfriend: soft and relaxed, designed to be worn with a cuff.
What the code after the name means
After the name, you’ll often find a code (for example, 09H95 or 0EMAN): it indicates the wash, meaning the color and treatment of the denim. The same fit can come in different washes: dark and clean for a more elegant look, or light and distressed for a more streetwear-inspired look.
Not just jeans: the 1DR and B-1DR
In recent years, Diesel has turned its Oval D logo into an icon. The 1DR bag has become the brand’s signature piece, while the B-1DR belt features the same buckle: together with a pair of Diesel jeans, they complete the look. You can find them in the Diesel bags collection.
How to choose your size
Diesel jeans use inch sizing for the waist and length. Skinny and slim fits with a little stretch fit more closely: if you’re between two sizes, choose the one that feels comfortable when sitting down. For relaxed fits, choose your usual size.
