Women without-doubt is the most spoiled gender for fashion, but that doesn’t mean that men should be dull and can’t be fashionable too. Being fashionable doesn’t always mean men should walk around with a glamorous touch of accessories or fluffy clothes, picking the right jeans would be practically enough.

Because men’s jeans are such a clothing staple, it’s crucial to find the style that works for you. So slipping into your new favorite pair should be done with one concern, that is should not only fit your inseam but also fit your lifestyle. So, let’s see in depth more about jeans’ style available today.

Jeans Cuts

Bootcut: Bootcut jeans are the perfect cut for any guy hoping to look fashionable without looking outrageous. This slim cut fits closely (but not tightly) with a slight flair towards the leg opening. Bootcut jeans make sense for most body shapes, ranging from skinny to bigger guys.

Relaxed fit: Relaxed fit jeans, which are loosely cut from waist to leg opening, are great for heavier men. The roomier shape of these blue jeans won’t accentuate curves and bulges like other cuts will. Thin guys should avoid relaxed cut jeans, as this cut can look loose and sloppy on skinny legs.

Skinny cut: Skinny cut jeans are a risky bet for many men but have the potential to look hip on the right guy. The skinny jeans club is fairly exclusive, as this ultra-tight fitting cut can make average-to-heavy body types look even larger. This cut should be reserved for the twiggy body shape, which is virtually the only weight class on which skinny jeans flatter rather than offend. Try this cut with a trendy vintage shoe to complete the look.

Slim fit: For those who want the hipster style of skinny jeans but don’t make the cut weight-wise, there are slim fit jeans. This cut of jean is tapered in a similar style to skinny jeans but not in such an extreme manner. With slim fit jeans, you get the best of both worlds: fashion-forward looks and comfort.

Straight cut: Straight cut jeans are the most discreet cut you’ll find. Neither tapered nor excessively loose, this conservative style is ideal for those who want their jeans to do nothing more than cover their legs.

Jeans Rises

The measure of a jean’s rise is taken from between the crotch and the waist. There are three major rises in jeans: low-rise, medium-rise and high-waisted. The rise can have a major effect on the overall look of a pair of jeans, so it’s good to be aware of the differences.

Low-rise: Low-rise jeans have the smallest space between crotch and waist. This rise of jeans generally sits a few inches below the belly button, so make sure to wear a shirt of appropriate length to avoid exposing your midsection (and lower!) to the world. Also keep in mind that low-rise jeans tend to squeeze around the belly area, so if you’ve got any extra weight hanging in that region, prepare for this rise to super size it.

Medium-rise: If you don’t feel comfortable in the hip-hugging scoop of low-rise jeans but want to maintain a trendy look, think about medium-rise jeans. The room between waist and crotch on medium-rise jeans isn’t dangerously small, but it’s not so large as to reach your rib cage, either.

High-waisted: High-waisted jeans are a terrific choice for heavier men with rounder bellies. The rise is enough to slightly conceal the extra pounds that would be exposed in low- and medium-rise jeans.

The cuts and rises section were taken from www.overstock.com, you probably would like to see their sizing chart too. They differentiate between the size for women specific jeans measurement and men.
