Hasta La Ideas

Boot-cut, wide-legged, relaxed fit, bell bottoms- the denim universe is jam-packed with styles which make choosing a pair of jeans a daunting task. If it ever becomes too jarring, go for the good ol’ standby: straight-leg. We are beginning to see a more tailored look for men when it comes to jeans and trousers. Men shouldn’t be wary of this cut. The trick is to choose a pair of jeans that flatter rather than cling to your body like man leggings. There are various degrees of straight legs. You can go for a more streamlined look with April 77 jeans or you can go for something a little roomy in the thigh from G-Star. Whatever you choose, be sure that you are comfortable. As a general rule of thumb, jeans should fall from the waist and straight down (hence the term, “straight-leg”). You’d be surprised how a pair of straight-legged jeans can flatter your body. Just be sure you don’t confuse straight-leg with tapered-leg- unless you’re going for that 90210 circa 1992 look. Click the slideshow to see more straight-leg jeans.
