How To Buy The Perfect Pair Of Jeans | 5 Common Denim Styles And What’s Right For Your Body Type

About this video

Centeno outlines five steps to finding the perfect pair of jeans: prioritizing fit for your body type, selecting appropriate cotton weight, understanding denim materials like selvedge and raw denim, choosing the right style elements such as rise and leg opening, and considering versatility for your wardrobe. He emphasizes that once you find the ideal pair, buying multiples is wise since brands frequently discontinue styles.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that fit is the most critical factor when buying jeans—focus on how they fit in the hips, waist, and rise, as these areas vary significantly between brands
• Centeno recommends selecting jeans based on your body type and trying multiple brands rather than relying on longtime fallback choices, since body and fit standards change over time
• Centeno suggests a dark blue wash as the most versatile option for a foundational jean, as it pairs with more outfits and can be dressed up or down, while lighter washes and black are more limiting
• Centeno advises against low-rise jeans for most men over 30 and cautions against leaving jeans too long to avoid wearing holes in the back
