Jeans are comfortable and versatile men's clothing. Initially, thick cotton trousers were made as a working uniform for farmers. Later they gained popularity among longshoremen, sailors, gold miners and cowboys. Today, denim products are the basis of a casual wardrobe. There are many types of different men's jeans to choose from. When purchasing, pay attention to a combination of three parameters – Fit, Cut and Rise.
Fit
The “fit” icon on the jeans label tells about the silhouette from the waist to the knee. Tight, slightly tapered, medium-fit, loose and wide models are available.
Skinny fit / skinny fit
These are skinny jeans that hug the hips. For production, thin denim with a high elastane content is used. Synthetic fiber provides good stretch and a comfortable fit.

- men over 40 years old;
- people with a stocky figure;
- for men under 165 cm tall.
To balance the figure, choose a voluminous top. Skinny jeans go harmoniously with chunky knit sweaters, loose plaid shirts, and basic white T-shirts. Skinny is not worn with tight-fitting T-shirts, turtlenecks, or formal shirts.

There are three main characteristics by which a product is cut: cut (leg), rise and fit. What are they?
- Cut (leg) – this part determines what type of jeans will be: straight, flared or tapered;
- Rise is the type of fit or, in other words, the height of the waist. It can be regular, high and low;
- Fit - indicates how narrow or wide the products will be, as well as how they will sit on a certain figure. This is the part that is located from the waist to the knee.
Cut/cut
The designation “cut” characterizes the silhouette of the part of the trousers from the knees to the bottom edge. The synonymous name is “leg”.
Tapered cut
These are denim trousers with tapered legs. They are suitable for those with slender legs without obvious flaws. The ideal shoes for this style are not too voluminous and closed. Men can safely choose moccasins, loafers, and plain sneakers.

Types of jeans models with tapered, straight or flared legs.
Boot cut is a jeans style that matches any top. You can safely choose:
- polo;
- shirts;
- blazers;
- Turtlenecks
The only condition is a tight or straight cut. Oversized models should be avoided.
Shoes for flared jeans are chosen depending on the situation. Classic shoes, neutral moccasins, and sports sneakers look equally good.
There is a cut similar to the boot cut – flared leg jeans. These are extremely flared models from the hip or knee. They were popular in the 60s among representatives of the hippie subculture.
Cropped and ripped jeans, their features
Cropped jeans with flares, tapered and wide leg are popular these days. Length varies from mid-calf to ankle. Playing with length refreshes the look, but requires caution, as it visually shortens the legs. Experts advise wearing heels and carefully choosing shoes by color.
Equal cut, cuts, natural fringe, different intensity of wear look organic and are combined with different styles, on different volumes and lengths of jeans. The exception is Sta Prest and other retro models.
Rise / rise
Rise is a concept that characterizes the fit of jeans at the waist, or their height. Manufacturers offer several options. Choose types of jeans depending on your body shape.
High rise / high rise
These are men's jeans with a casual style and a high rise. Their belt reaches to the level of the navel. A high waistline is not for everyone. The style is ideal for tall men with a thin build. There are no specific recommendations for choosing a top. You can wear a polo, T-shirt, turtleneck. High rise jeans can be paired with shirts as long as they are worn untucked.
Medium rise / medium rise
As the name suggests, these are mid-rise jeans. They are located on the hips or slightly above, but their upper edge does not reach the navel. Medium rise is an option for any figure and height. This is a classic, in harmony with sports T-shirts, loose hoodies and formal jackets. Mid-rise jeans can be tucked into shirts. In this case, they are decorated with a belt.
Low rise / low rise
This is a specific model with a low rise. Their belt is located 3-4 cm below the navel. The top line runs along the border of the hips or slightly below. Low rise jeans are not suitable for full grown men with a belly. This is the choice of slender, athletic or thin young people.
You need to be careful when choosing a low-waist model. When purchasing, they follow several rules.
- The slimmer the figure, the lighter the shade. Thin young people can afford white, beige, and blue jeans.
- If you need to visually stretch the silhouette, then buy slightly flared jeans with a low rise.
- Short options with cuffs at the bottom edge are not suitable for short men. This model is exclusively for tall people, as it visually cuts the silhouette in the ankle area.
Low rise jeans are suitable for those who appreciate comfort and a relaxed lifestyle. They are combined with informal tops - wide plaid shirts, T-shirts with or without prints, jumpers and cardigans.
A successful choice will correct your figure, hiding flaws and highlighting your strengths.
All jeans styles have their own nuances. You need to choose the ideal model not only taking into account fashion trends, but also based on personal parameters - height and physique. A successful choice will correct your figure, hiding flaws and highlighting your strengths.
Characteristics of jeans by fabric characteristics
Classic denim is a natural cotton twill fabric made from dyed and undyed threads. Today only classic models are made from it. In pursuit of the perfect fit and fit, most denim fabrics contain elastic fibers. Materials vary in density: summer or winter, colors and patterns.
In addition to raw natural denim, they use:
- chambry - thin, lightweight denim;
- broken twill – denim with a herringbone pattern;
- eikru - undyed jeans;
- stretch - jeans with the addition of elastane or duPont (lycra);
- gin - jeans made from threads of the same color.
Recently, combinations of different textures and the use of materials that are not typical of the traditional idea of jeans - leather, silk and even lace - have become popular. You can guess the pedigree only by the cut and characteristic design of the pockets.
Varied colors. Models made of dark denim in blue shades coexist on the shelves with red, olive, yellow, purple, gold, quail eggs or fuchsia. White color is very popular in summer styles. The appearance of a new shade or color in a trend is immediately reflected in the collections of the new season.
What length should it be
Skinny pants are characterized not only by a special cut, but also by a specific leg length. With all the variety of models, almost all of them are shortened to the ankle. The landing is different: low, medium, high. The fabric stretches perfectly and holds its shape due to the synthetic material in the composition. How long jeans should be can be determined by the individual characteristics of your figure:
- Only long-legged young ladies or with heels can wear trousers with a ¾ length;
- The maximum length to the toes suits everyone without exception;
- Models with an open ankle also visually reduce height, so short girls need to choose the right shoes.
Ankles that are too thin should be covered and elongated models should be chosen. Otherwise, they will not look aesthetically pleasing.
If you find it difficult to choose the right model for yourself, you can remake old jeans and thereby diversify your wardrobe. Tighten women's flared jeans, for example. Surely there is something unnecessary in the closet that you want to improve and modernize. You can change your trousers using a tailor's service or use the Internet's advice on how to make skinny jeans yourself. To turn wide jeans into skinny jeans, you need to do the following:
- Open the hem in the area of the vertical seams, where the trouser leg will be made narrower;
- Remove the top finishing stitch;
- Taking into account that the back of the trouser leg should be 2 cm wider than the front, it is necessary to draw a narrowing line with chalk a little further;
- Sew the seams on the fabric according to the intended drawing;
- Trim excess fabric and iron;
- Above the completed line, we perform another one, but for this we use a thread of a different color, preferably bright;
- We bend the jeans to the desired length and sew with the main thread color.
With simple manipulations, you can adjust old, straight-cut jeans to fit your figure and make jeans that are tapered at the bottom.
What are the options

The feature of the current season is also fringe and torn edges.
How did such a model appear?
Jeans with slightly tapered legs began to appear back in the 20s of the 20th century. But they differed slightly from the classic ones. Therefore, they were in the same demand as regular denim trousers. Initially, men only appeared in skinny jeans on the catwalks during the shows of famous designers a few years ago. At that time, this image caused more criticism than a desire to use it among the masses. But gradually young people finally decided to wear tapered denim trousers.
Then there was a qualitative transformation of the men's classic suit. The jacket became shorter and had a waist. The trousers began to practically hug the legs. After the unobtrusive advertising of the image in the James Bond film, when the leading actor appeared in the frame in such an ultra-fashionable and tight suit, very skinny jeans for men also became a trend. Of course, men's skinny jeans are different from women's. They become narrower towards the bottom, but at the top they don’t hug the hips very much. Thanks to this decision, this model looks quite tolerable on most representatives of the stronger sex.
