We like to call this the workhorse wash. The lighter the wash, the more casual the vibe. Pro tip: Look for a seriously faded wash and pair with a light neutral top for a monochromatic look. Elevate a basic jean-and-tee look with a darker hue like burgundy or olive. Punchier colors are great for warmer months. Are you daydreaming about denim yet?

The basic rises in men's jeans are — high-rise, mid-rise, low-rise, and low crotch. When learning how to buy jeans that fit properly, sizing is the first and often the only aspect men focus on.
To find the most flattering style of jeans requires trial and error, but the following tips will help you find what fits best on your body type. Sometimes referred to as ectomorphic, this body has a light build and a flat chest, small shoulders, and lean muscles. These are men who are slender from top to bottom. This body type has a fast metabolism and finds it difficult to gain weight.
The athletic man has a slim waist with muscular legs and buttocks. Justify the hard work in the gym by wearing jeans that accentuate your toned body. Stocky men who frequent the squat rack at the gym have much bigger legs. A pair of straight-leg jeans end up looking like skinny jeans on them. Men with large hips require an equal leg width from hip to hem. The typical soccer player's body — thick and wide legs with a wider hip than the waist. Whereas having them sit a bit higher creates a more even, streamlined look from the belly button down.
The plus-size man has a wide midsection as well as large thighs, buttocks, and calves. Avoid skinny and slim-fit jeans. After all, a slim fit can look very flattering if you have the body for it. The problem is that not all fits fit every body type—yet many people still follow fashion trends instead of wearing jeans that fit them.
The fit is how the right size fits your body. A good fit should balance out your proportions. That influences the fit a lot! Any kind of rise will do, but steer clear of the extremes.
The most obvious choice for leg shape is a slim straight fit. However, for average-sized guys with beefy thighs, tapered fits are usually more flattering than slim straights. But that goes for any kind of build. What you usually want from a fit is to have to make you appear taller than you actually are. To do this, you want to avoid anything with a low rise.
Instead, opt for a mid-rise that adds balance to your proportions. Wearing your jeans low-slung only makes it worse. To achieve this goal, you should generally avoid high-waisted jeans as they make your legs look even longer. Instead, pick something with a mid or a low rise. But be cautious. Lengthwise, the jeans should rather be on the short side than too long.
The big guy body type is the broadest. That means the advice is valid for big, muscular guys too. Think Schwarzenegger. Go for something with a lower rise. Especially in the front. The important thing here is not to go too tight!
And steer clear of lightweight fabrics as they drape more which makes the jeans more revealing. For big guys with an athletic build, regular fits can also work. They give a slimming appearance as your rear and thighs are hugged by the denim while the rest of the leg is straight.
The regular fit is a good match for guys with hips that are narrower than their shoulders. That gives you room to play. You can also pick your favourite among leg shapes. When you have found a fit you like, try it on. Most jeans are pre-shrunk. In that case, you should pick your size according to what the brand prescribes. The actual shrinkage varies from denim to denim, so consult the seller before you buy they should be able to give you a straight answer about how much the denim shrinks, ahem!
Again, ask the seller about this. The waist measurement of a pair of jeans is in most cases not the same as your natural waist at your belly bottom. While the two measurements used to be more or less identical back in the days when only cowboys and workers wore jeans, the waistline has been creeping down over the decades. That means we no longer wear our jeans at our natural waist—which would require an ultra high rise.
But the waist sizes have stuck around. So they just alter the sizing chart and make the jeans bigger. It all depends on the shape of the leg, the rise, the fabric, your body type and possibly many more factors. If you need to have your jeans shortened, leave it to someone who knows how to operate a sewing machine.
It takes practice to do a good hemming job. And be aware that shortening slightly alters the fit if the jeans are tapered. There are a few common ways around it, but if your jeans were washed and distressed when you bought them, you get the best result if you preserve the original hem. The closer together the pockets are placed, the smaller your rear will look. When you have found a fit that ticks off all the boxes, think about whether it fits your age.
Skinny jeans are one such thing. This is going to sound very generalising, but the younger you are, the tighter your jeans can be. Denimhunters is a knowledge portal for denim enthusiasts and newcomers.
