subject: Denim Bootcamp- Picking The Perfect Pair [print this page] Finding a mens fashion label that offers both comfort and style can prove difficult. Luckily the trend for skin-tight jeans appears to have died down however there are still plenty of designers out there that do not seem to realise that men need to be able to move when wearing the latest fashions. Trousers and jeans are the cause of great frustration with many men struggling to find some comfortable enough to wear all day. If you are trying to find the perfect pair, dont worry! We have put together our top tips to finding the right denim for you; just make sure youre in the comfort of your own home or changing room when you try them out.
Step one is style, when you go shopping for a pair of jeans first of all decide when you want to wear them. If they are for everyday wear make sure you are wearing a t-shirt that you would normally match with a pair of jeans, same for those looking for a great pair for nights out, try and wear a shirt in a similar style to your party wear. This may seem silly but so many people fall at the first hurdle and decide on a pair of jeans in such a niche colour and style that they can only be worn with one outfit. If you are a one pair fits all type of guy wear a neutral t-shirt when heading to the shops, it may save you unwanted frustration when you get them back home.
Step two is comfort; there is nothing worse than putting on a new pair of jeans and finding that after half an hour your legs feel that they are being slowly strangled. Once you are safely in your changing room make sure that you can button or zip the jeans up easily, if you have to struggle imagine what it will be like after a few drinks or a meal? If they fit around the waist the next step is to test the flexibility with a quick Jane Fonda style work out. Lunges are the number one way to text flexibility as are squats, if you find yourself falling over or hear the dreaded ripping noise; chances are you need a bigger size and possibly a hasty exit.
Step three is the history test, if you think you have found your perfect pair take a second to really look at them. Notice anything familiar? If the bottoms seem to flare or there are fashionable additions such as fraying or even purposeful rips try and remember the last time these were deemed fashionable and try and locate the pair you already have stashed in your wardrobe.
