The experts at Evolve Menswear have shared a few tips on choosing jeans during this Easter Denim Sale, particularly the fit which is one of the most important factors when investing in a new pair of jeans.
With denim continuing to play a major role within the modern gent’s wardrobe, even the smallest tweak to your current collection can help instantly bring your look up to date. Trying a new wash, fit or even a different brand can add a new dimension to your personal style and ensure your wardrobe doesn’t become stale.
The Fit:
Low-rise, straight-cut, skinny – these are just some of the styles that you’ll be able to choose from when shopping for a good pair of jeans. The trick is to figure out which cut suits your body type the best. For example if you’re quite tall, you’ll want to stay away from skinny jeans as they will elongate your frame. Similarly, a low-rise pair of jeans on a shorter person just won’t look good. If you’re a bit overwhelmed, opt for a no-nonsense straight cut, which is a look that almost anyone can pull off. Also make sure that when you’re trying on your jeans that the back and crotch areas aren’t too tight. Sit down in the dressing room or in the store and check if the jeans are cutting into your waist or are too tight in certain areas.
The fit determines how they feel. How they feel determines how you look. And how you look is what good jeans are all about. Choose the fit accordingly.
Slim Fit
Slim…not skinny! Slim-fit jeans should slightly hug the thighs, knees, and calves while loosening up around your ankles. The presence of fabric against your calf might take getting used to, but how they look — crisp, sharp, clean — makes it worth it.
Straight-Leg Fit
A little more forgiving than the slim fit, the straight-leg fit is cut more or less the same all the way down, meaning the jeans feel close in the thighs but looser in the knees and calves. To help ease that closeness in the thighs, look for denim with a touch of stretch.
Classic Fit
Cut loose throughout, these jeans are for guys who want their thighs to breathe. Only hitch: A loose fit below the knee can result in some flare (or, worst case, a bell-bottom effect). Opt for a length with about an inch-and-a-half break (which will minimize the bunching of any extra cloth), and if that doesn’t do the trick, feel free to roll up the cuffs a bit.
Relaxed Fit
The roomiest of all the options, blessed with a fuller leg and seat. For them to look their best, the jeans should sit snugly at or just below your natural waist, found right above your hips
The Colour
Blue may be a classic colour for jeans, but in the past few years there has been an explosion of colour when it comes to denim. You can find almost any colour under the rainbow, so there’s no excuse for you not to try on something other than blue. Try out black, grey or even maroon for a very different look. A pair of dark denim is a wardrobe essential, as it can be worn to the office with a smart shirt and shoes or worn casually with a tee and jacket.
The Wash
And we are not talking about taking care of how you wash your jeans, but to the wash that’s sometimes applied to jeans or the fabric during the manufacturing process. Different washes produce denim of different shades and textures. Avoid jeans that have been faded out too much as they tend to attract a bit too much attention. Also stay clear from jeans that have excessive fading on the thigh or crotch areas. Choose a pair that’s been lightly treated and one that also suits your complexion a bit better.
