MAKE SURE THE DENIM FITS ...COMFORTABLY!!!

We have all seen the styles of jeans change quickly in a matter of time.  

We went from jeans sagging,  sagging and baggy to where we have a different array if "fits." The "baggy thing" was great while it lasted but its time to move on. We have relaxed , bootcut , straight, fitted and now skinny fit.   Skinny Fit has always been a cut of Denim that has existed for years mainly in Europe.   It has hit the fashion industry and music industry full blast. With these two arenas setting the trend,  this has caused a "wave" of followers who thinks it's cool for skinny jeans to be worn.   By the way this commentary is directed to men between the ages 23- 40.   Lets begin with some DO-NOTS!!!

DO NOT:

1. Do not wear skinny jeans to work.

2. Do not wear skinny jeans on a date.

3.  Do not wear skinny jeans to a party or a club.  

and finally.....

4.  Do not wear skinny jeans if you are 30 yrs of age and up.  

Fellas jeans are suppose to be worn according to the occasion.   A well fitted pair of jeans such as Seven for all man kind, Hugo Boss or Banana Republic, should fit comfortably on the waist and go well with loafers, oxfords and dress shoes.   You should be able to tuck in your shirt with out unsightly bulge. A Sports Jacket, fitted Cardigan , sweater, or vest should be pa-portioned to the Jeans that you wear. 

Jeans and sneakers :  Depending on if its a running shoe, hightop, vans, etc will determine the the jeans that you purchase.  The drop (Bottom) of the jeans should have at least 5-6 inches of space  in order to place over the sneaker.   If you are a sneaker collector like myself then you want to reveal the tongue.   This is just my personal style.   style your foot wear as you see fit to create the look that you want. 

BOOTS:   Boot cut jeans are exactly what it says,,,,"Cut for Boots."  These jeans should not be worn with Loafers , Wing-tips , Adidas "Stan Smith", Nike"Jordans" or "Air Max", etc.   This is not the look you should be going for.  

So we have discussed the fit.   Now lets talk about the actual style and scheme of the jeans. 

Enough of the promotion back pockets. PLEASSSSEEEE!   LEVI's are the best thing that are Classic and we know who they are .   There are top designers, expensive and affordable, that make great jeans.   At this stage in the game you should not have "lines and colors", some sort of animal in front of the crotch or studs and holes with paint blotches all over the jeans.  You can get a pair of Dark Denim "NON ADVERTISING" jeans at the Gap, Banana republic or Uniqlo.   The more high end  side of denim is Gucci, YSL and Armani (with limited styling on the back pocket).   The later of the brands are pretty expensive but if you want a total look with sharp lines I suggest KASIL JEANS.   You can get them between $110- $180 depending on the style.  

Please no red monkeys and Evisu  jeans ......aghhh please stop!   

"Style begins with you....be unique and creative.  Let them ask.."What is that and where did you get it?"
