Fashion tip of the day: Jeans

hey people this is another fashion tip for the men out there who consider themselves stylish and fashionable. This comes from the Details Mens Style Manual:

THE PERFECT FIT

There's actually no such thing as the perfect fit when it comes to jeans. Some men like to wear theirs a little baggy, while others-God bless 'em-prefer theirs on the tighter side. While both extremes can be taken entirely too far, there are plenty of options somewhere in the middle.

THE STRAIGHT FIT

If you have narrow hips and long legs, you'll do well with the standard straight leg, a classic, clean-cut American Graffiti look.

THE RELAXED

Relaxed-fit styles are the Everyman jeans (and essential for those with a taste for steak and Cabernet). Just be sure yours arent too baggy, and secure them with a belt.

THE SKINNY

You don't have to be a member of the Strokes to wear skinny jeans, but opt for slim-cut if your lean and lanky.



KNOW YOUR BODY TYPE

Women's fashion magazines advise their readers about "Dressing for your Body Type." Believe it or not, this applies to guys, too. Knowing your build and dressing accordingly is crucial with jeans. Be honest with yourself about your waist size. Those 501s from college probably haven't fit you in years.

If the 34 in one denim label doesn't fit you, try another. Jeans may have become a status symbol, but if the newest, most-hyped brand doesn't look right on you, stick with the classics.

Don't try to hide extra weight with baggy jeans. Aim for a pair cut to your personal taste-slightly snug or a little bit loose-and make sure it sits securely on your hips.
