Finding The Ultimate Pair Of Men's Jeans

Jeans are the most versatile item in your wardrobe. They can be dressed up or dressed down, and are an essential part of your clothing collection. We all wear them and we are all looking for that perfect denim fit. With so many different fits and finishes available, the task can seem daunting, but finding that perfect pair is easier than you think when you follow a few simple rules.

You need to think about where and when you will be wearing your new jeans. Are they for lounging around in at home, or will you be wearing them out to bars, clubs and nights out? The places you intend to wear your new jeans will affect the kind of jeans you need to buy.

If your workplace allows you to wear denim to work, then you might want to check out more conservative styles and fits, darker shades, without any flashy embellishments. If you are looking for jeans for a night out, then your options are more varied and you can look for bling finishes and detailing.

Jeans come in all colours and finishes now, from classic denim to distressed finishes, faded blacks to day-glo neons. Obviously the shade you go for depends on where you are going to wear them, but as a general rule classic denim blue can be worn anywhere, stonewash is great for a casual look, and the trendiest colour right now is faded black, verging on grey.

The denim trend right now is for simple straight cut jeans. These can be worn with anything and flatter all shape, provided they are not too high-waisted. Another popular cut right now is the carrot cut, where the jeans are slightly wider across the thighs and taper in a little at the bottom.

Baggy jeans may still be popular with skater kids, but if you are looking for a looser fit go for a compromise - the relaxed fit jean. Some stores call them relaxed fit, some stores call them loose fit. Either way these are basic straight leg jeans that sit a little lower on the hips and have are slightly baggier than regular straight leg jeans.

You might want to opt for a boot cut jean to wear with any ankle boots or cowboy boots that you have in your wardrobe. These jeans are slightly wider at the bottom - not a full-on flare cut, just slightly wider, and are great for wearing over boots as they will cover your footwear without being too tight around the ankle and bunching at the bottom.

When shopping for jeans, try a mix of styles to see what suits you best. Try on your jeans with the shoes or trainers and belt that you wear most often. Look for jeans that are not too tight across the crotch, legs and waist. Check that they look good from behind - the higher the back pockets are placed, the better.
