To rule out these problems this article offers a best step-by-step guide to buy pair of perfect jeans.
Jeans Types
Athletic Jeans
Athletic denims feature great comfort fit. Especially in thighs and hips. Their denim material is blended with a stretchable material. This material provides great stretch and ultimate comfort. Athletic fit appears similar to slim fit but it supports all possible leg movements, which otherwise would not be possible in a tight fitting jeans.
This jeans fit is perfect for men involved in day-to-day outdoor activities or never have time to change into sport garments before heading for sport.
Carpenter or Field Jeans
It is not a wrong idea to wear denim at field. But you need loosely fitting jeans that feel like trousers. These denim are rugged, thicker and durable wear. Specially designed with bulky pockets and loops to hang tools . Carpenter jeans have much space inside and feature big pockets. Typical body movements require looser denim fit for ease and complex work demands larger and deeper pockets to keep useful tools.
Straight
Regular and straight fit come with a slight variation. Regular denim fit has extra margins in the thighs and calves. Different from Regular fit, a straight denim fit falls straight onto feet. Both are comfortable fit but the choice is always yours.
Relaxed Fit
Relaxed fit means jeans will fit you comfortably throughout the length, especially in thighs and legs. This cut is especially suits when you want to dress down any blazer.
Skinny
Tight fitting or close to skin. Contrary to the name skinny jeans is not for skinny or thin frame. If you are one, avoid this denim cut. It has tightest leg opening and might make you feel uncomfortable within few hours. Skinny jeans require proportional body else it will highlight slim legs.
Slim Fit
Otherwise called narrow fit stands between skinny and straight fit. They are middle ground for style savvy men who give a wide berth to tight-fitting jeans but still prefer to wear contoured fit jeans. They are ideal with spots coat, leather jackets and look amazing with boots.
Wide Leg
Loose denim cut is easy to identify- for it is loose everywhere save waist. It provides plenty of room for the wearer. Although a loose fit denim looks clumsy and sloppy. It lacks fitting, style and elegance. It is not good for young and fit men. However if you want to chill you can wear a relaxed fit.
Denim Fit vs Body Type
It is as easy as hard it is to select a suitable denim cut that fits you properly. Commonly most men make fashion mistakes by picking a wrong fit.
I will not recommend skinny denim cut to anyone as it hugs your figure and takes away comfort and elegance.
Athletic and Muscular Body type
Slim, straight fit will flatter such body types but occasionally if you want to feel comfy at your hips and thighs then you should select a relaxed fit.
Slim and Tall Men
Slim and tall men should opt for regular and slim denim cut.
Large and Heavy Men
The best choice for a large frame will be a relax and loose fit. It will balance their proportions and impart a more systematic look.
Fit and Short Men
A fit but short figure can go for regular or straight fit. Never wear a loose or relaxed fit as you will look wider and shorter. Wear boots to boost your height.
