Young Mens Jeans in Young Men's Clothing(6)

How should the perfect pair of jeans fit?

The perfect pair of jeans should make you feel good, meaning they're both comfortable and you feel like you look good while wearing them. When shopping for the size or fit that will help you meet those goals, consider the shape of the leg, the rise (or the distance between the crotch and the waistband), the length, and the type of fabric. While some denim is 100 percent cotton, some has added materials, like spandex, to give the jean some flexibility.

How many pairs of jeans should I buy for my teenage son for the new school year?

On average, your teenage son should have five pairs of jeans in his wardrobe, ready for the new school year. This allows for one a day without washing if necessary. However, if you find a style and fit he loves, it's always a good idea to aim for seven just in case you need backup.

What should I look for in jeans if I'm a taller or shorter guy?

Guys who are shorter than average should avoid a low-rise jean and look for a fit with a straight leg. You'll also want to avoid looser styles. Men who are taller than average should avoid jeans with a high rise or waist, and go with a regular fit or slim fit. Avoid anything too tight. Men of all heights should avoid jeans that are too long.
