The best way to find jeans that fit your lifestyle (and budget) is to experiment with several cuts, brands and washes. Many companies market different styles of denim to fit both contemporary/fashion conscious customers as well as those who require no-nonsense, classic denim jeans. Nearly every style of men’s jeans are available from mass-market labels offering modern-day fashion at a price affordable to most.
Denim Fits
Today’s presitgious denim labels develop their signature jeans based on the original fits below. Many still feature the 5-pocket styling first developed by Levis.
- Men’s Straight leg: The most classic style, featuring a moderately slim cut, “regular” (not too high or low) rise and reinforced tapered ankle. Straight leg is a safe bet when picking out men’s jeans as they tend to with just about everything..
- Men’s Relaxed Fit: This fit is looser throughout the thigh with a similar rise. Generally tapered at ankle.
- Men’s Boot Cut: Men’s boot-cut jeans often flare slightly down the entire length of leg. Originally derived from 70s flares, this style is extremely popular in today’s world of Men’s fashion.
- Men’s Carpenter Jeans: A very loose-fitting, softer jean with lots of pockets, extra-wide belt loops and trademark hammer loop, even on designer styles. Typically found in denim, twill or cotton canvas.
- Men’s Baggy Jeans: Stylish and comfortable, baggy jeans look great with a t-shirt and some trendy sneakers, offering a relaxed, urban look for men of all ages.
- Men’s Skinny Jeans: These rocker-style denims feature an ultra-thin “stovepipe” leg and lower rise.
Washes: Selecting the Perfect Colour
Without question, blue is the most common colour for men’s jeans. If you’re confused by the array of blue jeans around, try opting for darker colours as they go easily with coloured shirts, jumpers and the vast majority of shoes. For a more professional look, try pairing dark denim with a button-down shirt and a nice blazer.
It doesn’t hurt to have a pair of moderately faded blue jeans for casual wear, while younger men may opt for some eye-catching red jeans to stand out from the crowd.
How to Wear Your Jeans
Men’s jeans tend to be worn low along the waist. It’s a good idea to avoid wearing them too high as it contradicts the idea of wearing jeans – being comfortable and exhibiting a youthful look.
