Weekly Comfort Item: Jeans for Him in Comfort

Nov 12, 2009 by Meg C. | 0 Comments

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.

Weekly Comfort Item: Finding the Right Jeans in Comfort

The right pair of jeans depends on the occasion, your body style, and your budget. Finding the right pair of women's jeans doesn't have to be difficult and you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own home.

There are three main body types: apple, pear, and banana. People with an apple shape are thick through the middle. Pear shaped women have a small waist and larger hips. Banana shaped women are straight. They have little waist and hip definition.

Apples need high-waist jeans that cover your tummy without cutting in to your stomach. Jag Jeans Plus Size Curvy Kate Boot Cut jeans in Dark Retro are great for a night out if worn with a cute top. A sweatshirt turns these fab jeans instantly into the perfect casual attire. Not Your Daughter's Jeans Premium 5 Pocket Boot Cut includes a wonderful tummy panel that slims and defines a thicker middle.

Pear shaped women should steer clear of high-waist jeans. This type of jean causes an unsightly gap to develop between a woman's back and the jeans, particularly when she sits down. In addition, tapered leg jeans can make the hips look wider. Mid-rise boot cut jeans are the best fit for pear-shaped women. Try Joe's Jeans Honey in Perry. These jeans are "designed for the voluptuous woman with a smaller waist and luscious booty." What could be more perfect than that?

Banana shaped women should embrace their bodies. So many straight figured women opt for men's jeans, which isn't necessary. Skinny jeans look fabulous on a straight figure. James Jeans Twiggy 5 Pocket Legging in China Doll is a perfect option for straight-bodied women. These jeans are ideal for a night on the town when paired with a sparkly tube top or other party blouse. Throw on a sweat shirt or a tank top, and you have an edgy casual look unlike any other.

When shopping for the perfect pair of jeans, don't forget to check out all the adorable, funky, and cool shoes available. A killer pair of heels or a pair of great winter boots will do wonders for your overall look.

Weekly Comfort Procedure: Understanding the Shape of your Feet in Comfort

Choosing a comfortable dress shoe can be a very difficult undertaking. There are many things to consider when selecting a comfortable dress shoe for both women and men. Familiarity with various brands and an understanding of the shape of your feet will go a long way in determining an ideal and comfortable dress shoe.

There are three foot shapes that a majority of the population has: flat foot, normal foot, and high arch.

Flat feet can be hereditary, or flat feet can develop over years of foot abuse. Shoes that fully support your arch and that have a firm heel counter are recommended for stability and strength. Women with flat feet should consider the Drew Lora. This shoe offers a removable insole that can be replaced with custom orthotic insoles prescribed by a doctor. Men should try the P.W. Minor 5th Avenue.

Those with normal feet can typically wear any comfort dress shoe without any major problems. Keep in mind that you still need to make sure that you have proper arch support and an excellent fit in order for a pair of comfortable dress shoes to be effective. Women should try a nice comfortable dress shoe such as the Easy Spirit Ilene. Men will find a superb comfortable dress shoe when they wear the Mephisto Squall.

Individuals with high arches have a lot of foot pain. Custom orthotic insoles are oftentimes used by individuals with high arches to alleviate pain. Those that have foot pain that is not severe enough to go see a specialist need to make sure they are wearing shoes with the right support and that have a great fit. Aetrex Sarah is a great comfortable dress shoe for women with high arches. The shoes have removable insoles, providing you with the ability to wear custom orthotics without wearing a shoe that screams "I'm orthotic." Men should try the Drew Arlington.

Uncomfortable feet make for an uncomfortable life. Finding a great pair of comfortable dress shoes is very important.
