Should A Man Iron A Crease In His Jeans? How Long Should Jeans Fit? Denim Jean Style Tips
About this video
Centeno addresses two common questions about denim: whether jeans should have a center crease and how long they should fit. He argues that creased jeans are outdated except in specific Western contexts, and provides practical guidance for determining the correct jean length based on the shoes being worn.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that center creases in jeans are a dated Western style choice and should generally be avoided in modern casual dressing
- Centeno recommends that when trying on jeans without shoes, the back hem should touch or slightly extend past your heel for regular shoes, or 1.5-2 inches past the heel for boots
- Centeno advises that jeans can be hemmed shorter but never lengthened, so it’s better to buy slightly longer and have them tailored
