Mastering Men’s Jeans

Summary by Jennifer Wasilewski, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

No matter where you go, it seems that the men’s jeans section is full of jeans in every color, size, and style.

For example, for a pair of multipurpose jeans you don’t want to buy something like a bell bottom, and please stay away from tapered jeans at all costs.

Color/Wash: Dark or med-dark blue is a great color because it goes well with practically all shirts and shoes. By day, a dark pair of jeans with a track jacket and tennis shoes looks great.

Width: To look great in a pair of jeans and to really get your money’s worth; you need to buy a pair that fits well. Well fitting jeans will not be tight around your stomach, crotch, or backside.

Length: It’s also important to pay careful attention to the length of the jeans. Ultimately, your jeans should fall at the top of your shoe. If a pair of jeans is just the right length at the store, you may want to go up one size length wise. When you wash jeans, they usually shrink a little. Buying jeans a little longer will help prevent your jeans from turning into an expensive pair of high-waters. If possible, choose jeans that are pre-shrunk to help minimize the loss of length.

If you’re tall and thin – or have tried to buy clothing for someone who is tall and thin – you’ll know how difficult it is to find clothes that fit in normal retail outlets. If you have an inside leg measurement between 33 and 38-inches, you may be worse off than if you’re 38-inch plus.

There’s so little choice for the tall man

We’re told so many times that modern retail is about choice – but not if you’re tall and thin. Where are the straight cut, boot cut and (fashionably) loose fit styles? Nowadays, though, there’s the Internet. Although most vendors still talk ‘big and tall’, there are a small number of specialists focused on the needs of tall thin men and women..
