Big Men's Jeans - Style Guide
Quality
Good quality jeans should last through a couple of years of daily wear. They should not fray easily at the seams and the fabric should not become worn and pill easily.
Fit
Perhaps one of the most important things to look for when buying a pair of jeans is how well they fit. Good fit and comfort go hand in hand and you can’t have one without the other. Be sure to check the size guide of whatever retailer you are buying from. Sizes vary from store to store and brand to brand and what may be a size XL in one retailer may not be the same in another. A good retailer should provide an easy to read size guide and size their stock accordingly. However, when shopping for jeans, they are usually sized by waist and leg length. It is advisable to avoid jeans sized in S, M, L etc. as it is unlikely you will get a good fit.
Comfort
When we’re talking about comfort, we’re not just talking about how nice a pair of jeans feel on, we’re also talking about how well you can move in them. You should be able to walk, bend, stretch and sit in your jeans without them falling down or writhing up. If you find yourself having to hoist up your jeans every couple of steps, or not being able to bend down to pick something up without fear of showing your underwear – you probably need to try on a new pair.
Style
Jeans come in a variety of styles: straight leg, flared, skinny, relaxed and more! However, the style you prefer, or the trendiest style may not always be the best choice for your frame. For example, if you are naturally top heavy (wide torso and waist, slimmer legs), skinny jeans could amplify this contrast and make you look out of proportion. A better choice for someone with a top heavy frame would be a straight leg jean, which will balance out your body shape by skimming over the slimmest parts of your legs rather than clinging to them.
Measuring for Jeans
Don’t Guess!
If you want your jeans to fit properly, make sure to measure your waist properly! Don’t guess your waist size as even a couple of inches can make all the difference when it comes to the comfort and fit of your jeans. To measure for jeans…
Waist
Use a soft, tailors tape measure or twine.
Decide where you want the waist of your jeans to sit.
Some men prefer to wear their jeans so the belt sits just above the belly button, others like the waistband to sit just below the stomach. Decide where you want the waistband of your new jeans to sit to get an accurate measurement. Hold one end of the tape measure in line with belly button and bring the tape measure around your waist until the other end meets it. Make sure to do this against your skin or a very thin t shirt. Measuring over clothing won’t give you an accurate measurement.
Once you get your measurement, you may find you are between two numbers. When it comes to jeans, it is best to round this number down as denim slackens over time. If you are a solid number you may even want to round down still, depending on how slack or tight you like your jeans to be.
Legs
Jeans are measure by the inside of the leg (inseam). It can be quite difficult to take an inseam measurement yourself so you may want to ask someone to do this for you. Another option is to take the measurement from another pair of jeans or trousers that you already have. To measure against your body you (or someone else) will need to take the tape measure, starting at the crotch and measure to the ankle. You will need to consider how you like your jeans to fit above your shoes or if you like to turn them up to help you choose the best length.
