It's a common misconception that men have an easy time finding a pair of jeans. Like women, men have different body shapes. What looks fabulous on one man may look utterly geeky on another. Although shopping for men's jeans sounds like a daunting task, it's possible to do so without leaving your bachelor pad.
According to About.com, the three types of body shapes men have are ectomorph, endomorph, and mesomorph. Ecotomorphs are tall, slim, and thin. Endomorphs are round, with a generous waist size. Mesomorphs have a muscular, athletic build.
Ectomorphs should wear jeans that show off their slim features. Wearing jeans that are too bulky make a man look like he's swimming in his clothing and that's not cool. Classic ectomorphs find comfort in Levi's 511 Skinny Fit jeans. At $54, they are a steal. Since they come in a variety of colors, it's a good idea to purchase several colors. Light denim looks great for a casual look, where dark washes are an excellent "night on the town" look. For men who like a hipper, more urban look, 7 For All Mankind Slimmy in San Clemente 2 makes for a great pair of jeans.
Endomorphs shouldn't wear the skinny jeans sported by ectomorphs. Instead, they should wear a jean with a more relaxed waist and a leg that balances out their fuller figure. Taper leg jeans tend to make a thick waist look even thicker, so choose boot cut jeans over taper leg jeans for a more balanced look. Joe's Jeans Classic 32" in Blake is a comfortable option for many men. Featuring a hint of stretch denim and a relaxed look, these jeans should balance out a pudgy tummy quite nicely.
Mesomorphs can find comfort in any number of styles. Skinny jeans may not fit quite right on a muscular figure, although many other styles will work very well. 7 For All Mankind boot cut jeans should be a staple in a mesomorph's wardrobe. Rock & Republic Floyd in Collaboration is also a wonderful pair of jeans for an athletic man.
