A woman's guide to men's denim
1. Swallow your pride Or at least your impatience, and do the thing that probably drives you mad when your wife or girlfriend does it: spend some time in a department store, trying lots of different styles. You wouldn't buy a television without watching it first.
2. Find your length Long, loose jeans that scuff the pavement will inevitably lose their structure at the hem, looking messy and studenty. Waistbands should sit no higher than just above the hip bones, and the lower edge of your back pockets should finish below the top of the thigh, as the sight of the male buttock, fully outlined, is perhaps not your strongest asset.
3. Find your width Sharply tapered, drainpipe legs aren't a good idea unless you are either whippet-thin or under 30. But that doesn't mean loose fit is necessarily the answer. Rappers from South Central Los Angeles look good in really baggy jeans; office managers from Reading do not. (More Intelligent Life)
