Despite its usefulness and being dubbed as a must-have in every woman’s and man’s closet, jeans are still a subject of discussion. Which style of jeans fit you best? Which one should you buy? How does one know if it’s the right fit?

Boys get ready, you will know the answers in this blog –or maybe not if you are indecisive. If in doubt, you better ask your girlfriend or wife or your sister or mom if you do not have any of the two.

RELAXED FIT

These look like slacks only in denim. They are fuller on the thighs to the hem giving the wearer more legroom and of course maximum comfort. Make sure however that you do not buy those that are too roomy unless you are a rapper or someone who really likes hiphop. For those who have an average build or are thin, please avoid this style. The stocky, muscular, the athletic and the larger boys are the only ones who should don this cut.

ATHLETIC CUT

If you are athletic –please do not pretend that you are if you aren’t. You might have placed athletic as a description of yourself in a dating site but it would be best to be honest with yourself when you are buying jeans. The athletic cut is a relaxed fit that offers sufficient leg room and of course, comfort. If you are thin, it would be best to look for a different style.

STRAIGHT LEG

Now this one’s for the athletic or ones with average bodies. They do well in sculpting one’s appearance. A straightforward design, everything falls into place when you wear this one. Those who are thin can wear these but should be low-rise. Stocky men should never wear these.

BOOT CUT

For the athletic and average, this is one of the best styles you can find for yourself. In fact, stylists say it should be your go-to style when you are in doubt. This is suited for the tall so if you are stocky, keep them away from your closet.

SKINNY JEANS

Yes there are skinny jeans for men. If you are thin, you can use these but don’t purchase something that is too snug for you or else you will be putting other things on display.
