But many men seem to carry it in a way that it rather become a malfunction, so here I have listed a few styles on how to wear a denim jeans according to your type.

Why do so many men find it difficult to find the perfect jeans here are 3 Reasons

• A lack of understanding of what jeans look good on their body
• A lack of suitable styles available when they make the selection
• Confusion about the style details such as weight, wash, and detailing.

There are basically 5 Common Denim Fits Available For Men:

Jeans are marked with labels like skinny, slim or straight – these are an indication of the body type the jeans are designed for.

• Skinny – The latest addition to the jeans family, this style is a tighter fit with a tapered leg opening, usually low to mid-rise with a zipper fly. Skinny from hip to hem.

• Slim – Not too tight, not too loose, generally mid-rise with a zip fly. It is Straight through the hip, slim through the thigh with a narrower leg opening.
