It could be argued that jeans are the Little Black Dress of a man’s wardrobe. Something that can be dressed up or down, they should be the one reliable item you always feel good in. To guarantee you have a pair you can depend on it’s important you find the right pair – and the good news is this doesn’t have to cost a packet.
If you are on the lookout for the perfect pair of jeans you’d do well to start online. Search engines allow you to be as specific as you like in your quest, so note down your preferred style, colour and even brand to help you locate the right pair. If you are a larger gentleman don’t think jeans aren’t an option for you, there are plenty of specialists online such as http://www.menswearuk.com/advice-guides/find-your-perfect-length-jeans-and-trousers/ who have a range of styles for all sizes.
Before you buy be certain of your size. This may vary depending on the style you choose but the key measurements you need are your waist and leg length. Your correct leg length should be around an inch off the floor. Measure the length of your inseam from your crotch to the back of your foot and don’t forget to wear your regular shoes. If you find you are in between two lengths always opt for the longer length as denim can be easily turned up.
Denim is hard wearing so it’s not unreasonable to expect a pair of jeans to last you years. To make sure your jeans don’t go out of fashion in this time try and pick out a classic style such as a straight leg or bootcut – these are more flattering on larger frames too. Denim shades can change with the season so if you are really looking for something bang on trend do your research at places like http://www.menshealth.com/style/denim.php but again if you want something to last stick to shades that stick around such as original blue and dark denim. These shades are probably the most versatile denim colours as they are more easily dressed up with a blazer and shirt for a smarter look. The perfect pair of jeans should be your failsafe base for the perfect outfit, so don’t settle on anything less than the right pair.
