I used to think the best-cut jeans for me were determined by style. That’s until I bought a pair of stylish jeans only to have them make my thighs look like a pair of sausage casings. Style is a crucial element in grooming, and every man should develop one that’s a testament to their personality. But when deciding on the best denim cut for you, guys, let your build and personal taste be the determining factor.

 

Working out the particulars of the correct fit for your denim/jeans can be challenging when you have no idea what to look for. This guide helps you find the perfect fit by evaluating factors such as the fit, the feel of the pants, and, more importantly, your frame. (Well, we also add style, but that’s just the icing.)

The Best Jeans to Buy Depending on Your Frame.

1.   Guys With a Skinny Physique.

Thanks to your boney legs, you are probably the only guys who can really pull off skinny jeans. However, if skinny jeans do not tickle your fancy, consider slim-cut jeans or denim. Like skinny jeans, slim-cut jeans, also known as ‘boot cut,’ are tapered from the waist down but with a little more room than the former. This makes them easy to pair with just about any sneaker out there.

 

Advice for my boney-legged brothers, avoid getting the relaxed fit. They are just too big for your body, and that’s not an attractive look.

 

 

 

 

2.   Guys With a Flabby Physique.

You probably hate this, but your chubby physique disadvantages you from wearing skinny jeans. They just don’t work unless you like your pants tight in all places. Also, avoid the low-rise jeans as they only work to outline your fleshy waist.

 

Fortunately, your chubby physique doesn’t mean you can’t pull a fashion statement with your jeans. Consider the wide-legged pants, and in particular, the relaxed fit. They are stylish, comfy, and draw attention away from your bottom half.

3.   The Average-Weight Guy.

The average-weight guy is probably the luckiest in scoring the best-cut jeans. You have plenty of options as you can fit into most if not all fits. From skinny to slim to relaxed, yours is a game of choice. Some advice, however, is to steer clear of relaxed fits as they are the least trendy, and skinny jeans can be a bit much if you are a tad fleshy.

 

Given a chance to style you, I’d likely get you a slim cut with a little flare for a good drape or the straight on account of their versatility.

4.   The Short-Legged Man.

If your goal is to have your legs look a bit taller, consider a slim-fit pair with a little flare on the ankles. Additionally, any straight fit with a well-defined below-knee shape accentuating your legs will be a good look. Look at the straight fit but high wasted brands for an even taller effect.

 

 

5.   The Long-Legged Brother.

How does it feel to be the fashion-favored lot?

 

In a way, the fashion industry is designed with you in mind. Of all body frames, it is much easier for you to get the perfect cut provided you are not on the chubby side.

 

The BEN Sherman slim-fit cut jeans would do wonders to your long legs. Again, you have options from slim fits and straight to athletic fits. The athletic fit denim would probably be best if you love yourself some room in your legs without the bagginess of straight fits.

6.   Guys With a Big Bottom

Are you packing hockey players’ glutes, making it hard to find pants that fit without looking like you are wearing a glove? 7’s Dylan cut is a brand designed to provide men with a big bum with enough room without drawing attention to it. A relaxed fit might also work for you, provided you get it tapered down for a nice drape. Also, consider getting pants with back pockets to draw attention away from your bottom, and for your sake, avoid the high waist pair.

7.   Guys With a Small Bottom.

Getting an excellent fit might not be a big problem for you but pay attention to the size and location of your back pockets. Pants with lower back pockets on a man with a tiny bum create a bulge that’s not a good look.

8.   Guys Who Just Hate the Stress That Comes with Jeans and Denim.

I appreciate that not everyone enjoys the hustle of wearing jeans, or worse, hates how some jeans and denim can be restrictive. If you are one of them, consider Chip and Pepper brand or Kill city. They are jeans and denim with a feel of sweatpants but look like jeans. And the stretch is to die for.
