How to Pick a Pair of Men’s Jeans...
Home » Fashion » How to Pick a Pair of Men’s Jeans

It amazes me how much girls care about the fit of their jeans. First of all, there’s the ass (is it bubbly enough?), followed shortly by the hips, thighs, the length, even the knees (!?). This intense consideration may begin to explain why women will pay any price you ask for the perfect pair of jeans. A friend of mine has a collection of denim worth $3000 – though to her credit, she looks sexy in every last pair.

jeans1.jpgLuckily for men, typically we aren’t so picky. If it fits in length and fits comfortably, we’re good! However, this back-to-basics practical approach to denim does not sit well with women – they like their man’s jeans to look ‘good’. While this is bad news for your worn-in, ripped, ultra-comfy Levis, this is good news for all gents looking to woo some fair lady at a bar. Your jean fit does indeed say a lot about you in woman-speak, so when you wear your denim out to party make sure it’s saying ‘hey – how you doinnn?’.

Now, the kind of denim you wear is dictated by your own personal style – what’s up to me is to show you how to rock your style in a way that will grab the ladies’ attention. The first style I’ll go over is the classic club look. When I go clubbing I tend to go with this look: Semi-casual shoes, stylin’ dress shirt, and a nicer pair of jeans. If this is your style, you want your jeans to look something like this pair of premium denim by Howe (www.stylerocket.com). They’re a classic bootcut (where the bottoms widen slightly), a midtone or dark wash, and very very comfy (this is why people buy premium denim). These jeans will keep you lookin good, now matter how many martinis you down.

For those of you who like to rock out in a more casual style, I’ll give you what I like to wear to my fave sports bar. If you’re ajeans2.jpg jeans-and-sneakers kinda guy, straight-legged jeans are the way to go for you. Check out this pair from www.pacsun.com – they even look good with flip-flops! If you’re a big guy or just have muscular legs you should opt for a wider, baggier straight leg than a slim-fit one, as pictured here. You don’t want to look like you’re wearing spandex.

So let’s recap – girls are denim-obsessed. You’re probably going out tonight in your jeans. Therefore, if you invest in a pair that fits your style and looks good on your legs, your odds of scoring will improve. After all, if the jeans look that good on you, how good are they gonna look on her bedroom floor?

    This is a good post. I got some advice from a girl that worked at old navy. she saw me in some baggy jeans at work and she told me that i should go for a slimmer fit like boot cut or straight leg, and since i’m only 5′7" the baggy jeans would make me look even shorter.

    Jeans are very important. Bravo and Gypsy were giving me some good jeans advice at the summit. Mine were too baggy, so I’ll be looking for jeans that are more fit.

    I’ll bet I’m the only guy here who doesn’t own a pair of jeans.

    Khakis/chinos all the way baby.

    He’s right girls are denim obssessed.  I went out jeans shopping over the weekend with my girl and I tried on about 15 different pairs of jeans in about 4 combinations of sizes before she picked the one she liked. 

    She was paying for them so I couldn’t argue lol… but they do look sweet.  I generally like Gap jeans, Banana Republic, J crew, and a few others…  but i do like the Pac Sun ones he mentions in the article because they’ve got that laid back summer feel.

    i dont know if its just jeans, really.  its ALL pants, and shirts, too.  fortunately,  you guys pretty much already know when a shirt is too small or too baggy, or makes your stomach or arms look like crap.  you guys already know the time and a place for each of your shirts, and which ones highlight your best features.

    but, for some reason, most guys dont think the same way about pants.  like dress pants with pleats in the front - ugh!  anyhoo, you guys should really take the time to research what makes you look bigger in different areas, and what will flatter your body type the most.

    For me it’s the opposite..im a jeans guy..and i find slim and skinny jeans very flattering since I’m short..

    Im heavily influenced by the fashion of Asians so skinny jeans tucked into hi-cut shoes looks good for me..
