The Best Jeans for Your Style & Body Type: Stylish Outfits for Gentlemen
About this video
The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to selecting jeans by covering denim’s history and construction, explaining three main body types, and offering practical recommendations for fit, wash color, and price points. They emphasize matching jeans to individual body type and style preferences while avoiding common fitting mistakes.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team recommends matching jeans fit to body type: ectomorphs suit slim or skinny fits, mesomorphs have flexibility with styles depending on muscle size, and endomorphs typically wear better in regular or relaxed fits
- The Gazette team advises starting with foundational colors—dark indigo, medium wash, and light wash—each offering different versatility and seasonal suitability
- The Gazette team cautions against jeans that are too tight (causing pull lines and pattern twisting) or too loose (appearing sloppy), and notes that excessive distressing is unacceptable in business settings
- The Gazette team suggests considering body type, fit preference, denim construction (raw vs. washed, with or without spandex), and budget when shopping for jeans
