How to choose the right cut of jeans?
Mythical pants par excellence, jeans continue to appeal to men looking for a timeless, elegant and durable garment. It is now available in different cuts, each of them being specially adapted to a type of morphology and a clothing style. To choose pants that will fit you like a glove, we help you take stock of the different cuts of jeans!
STRAIGHT CUT JEANS
Ultra virile and timeless, straight-cut jeans undoubtedly evoke the original spirit of denim. It is he who was once immortalized by some of the greatest icons of cinema, such as Marlon Brando or James Dean.
Regarding the design, the regular cut adopts a straight shape from the waist to the ankles. It fits perfectly into a timeless casual style and has the advantage of adapting to most male body types.
If you have muscular thighs, do not hesitate to go for this type of pants, which allows you to highlight them well. On the other hand, if your silhouette is rather slender, you may need to favor other models, because you might tend to "float" in your regular!
SLIM-FIT JEANS FOR MEN
For several years, it has been impossible to miss the phenomenon of slim jeans! Made of cotton, these fitted pants also incorporate a small percentage of elastane to ensure elasticity. It guarantees optimal comfort for your everyday outfits!
You will easily recognize the slim by its narrow lines, marking the hips, thighs and top of the ankles. As such, it will adapt very well to men with a relatively slim body, and will fit very easily into rock-inspired looks. However, its characteristics allow it to adapt to a variety of environments, as it can be worn very well at work, on weekends or on the street.
If you are looking for a model of men's jeans that is even more fitted than the slim, the skinny is for you. Particularly popularized by punk musicians in the 70's and 80's, the skinny is to date the tightest jeans that exist. A true "second skin", it will instantly enhance your muscles!
BOOT CUT JEANS
Perhaps less known than slims and regulars, boot cut jeans have many arguments to make! It is particularly recognizable by its particular cut, adjusted at the level of the hips, straight on the thighs, tightened on the knees, then flared from the top of the calves to the ankles. The ideal compromise between straight jeans and bell bottoms, the boot cut is a pair of very casual pants.
It will go very well to men looking for a comfortable and urban garment, provided they choose a pair of suitable shoes to show it off! For the record, the boot cut was originally worn by the pioneers of the American West. Today, it mainly appeals to men with a V-shaped body shape, who are neither too strong nor too small.
CARROT JEANS
An original name for jeans that is just as original. Have you ever heard of carrot cut jeans? It is characterized by fairly wide hips and a particularly long crotch. The crotch is actually the seam that starts from the middle of the back, passes between the thighs and reaches halfway up the fly. To put it simply, it corresponds to the crotch! With a wide pant top and tight ankles, its cut looks just like the shape of the vegetable from which it takes its name. If you want to wear the carrot in style, remember to wear it quite low on the hips.
It is also worth mentioning the tapered jeans, which are very close to the carrot. The tapered is distinguished only by a slightly shorter crotch and a less adjusted cut than the carrot. This type of jeans is appreciated by men who have a rather narrow pelvis and a marked build. The long crotch does not always suit short men, since it tends to pack their silhouette.
WIDE CUT JEANS
This type of jeans is without a shadow of a doubt the most "street" and casual pants in our selection. Sometimes called baggy or loose jeans, they are immediately recognizable by their straight and wide cut, in a very anti-fit spirit! Thus, this type of jeans is at the opposite extreme of the skinny fit.
Always loose at the pelvis, it is worn with a belt, and quite low at the hips. If this kind of model may seem attractive for men with a little overweight, it actually tends to widen their silhouette: concretely, it is more suitable for men with fine morphology!
JEANS WITH STRAIGHT CUT
Sometimes called "semi slim", this type of jeans is halfway between the slim model and the straight model. If its cut is rather straight at the thighs, it tends to tighten at the ankles, in the same way as with slim jeans.
The straight jean is in a way a modernized version of the straight model, and also adapts to most morphologies. For maximum comfort in your straight jeans, however, be careful not to choose a model that is too tight on the thighs!
HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR JEANS FIT YOUR SIZE?
Among all the existing cuts, it is not always easy to choose the right jeans! However, several clues can help you choose your pants when you try them on for the first time.
First of all, your jeans should be a little tight, as they will tend to loosen over time. In addition, it is important that during the fitting, it molds you slightly at the level of the buttocks. The presence of folds under the buttocks will clearly indicate that the jeans are too big for you. Conversely, if it hugs you uncomfortably, it's a sign that the model is too small.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF QUALITY JEANS?
Are you looking to buy jeans that you can wear regularly, without them being completely worn out after six months? Several details can give you an idea of the quality of jeans!
The presence of linings in the back pockets, for example, indicates that they will more easily support the weight of what you slip inside. On the other hand, if the pockets are overloaded with prints or various seams, they are more likely to deteriorate quickly.
The quality of the fabric of your jeans is also a fundamental criterion: do their threads seem tight enough? Does the inside of the garment show signs of fraying? Is the appearance of the jeans sufficiently smooth and even?
An essential part of all wardrobes, jeans are therefore one of the most versatile garments in the world. It can be worn in all circumstances, and the diversity of existing models allows it to adapt to all male morphologies.
