Fall Season’s Best Jeans Picks
Considering that jeans have been around for over a hundred years, it is amazing that styles still change from season to season. Whereas last year, skinny jeans were the must-have item for both men and women, this Fall/Winter is all about straight leg, dark jeans. They offer a lot of versatility in that you can wear them either with brogues and a sports coat for a sophisticated look or with moccasins and a t-shirt, lounging around the house. Lighter jeans really aren’t acceptable (or good looking) after summer when layering becomes necessarily to fight off the frigid temperatures.
Here are the season’s picks with a varied price range:
A.P.C., $140. Available at A.P.C.
7 for all mankind, $150. Available at Neiman Marcus
Burberry straight leg five pocket jean, $245. Available at Nordstrom
Rag and Bone straight leg jeans, $215. Available at Neiman Marcus
Joe’s Jeans, $77.99. Available (and currently on sale) at Bluefly
However you decide to wear your jeans, it is always most important (as with everything else in fashion and style) that you feel good in them, not just that they fit comfortably, but that you really enjoy wearing them. It is always better to have a few pairs of really fantastic fitting, classic jeans than a closet full of ugly ones.
As a side note, while wide leg jeans have come back in style for women, I am really hoping that flared jeans never come back for men. It’s a phase of my life that I would like to forget forever.

If you’ll have only one pair of jeans, buy APC New Standard. If you’ll have two buy them in black version also.

I wish there was a way to understand which body types fit best with what jeans.

Always try them on before purchasing. Shopping online is good if you already know that some model looks good on you.

Second the trying on before purchasing (or at least ordering from a store/website with a good return policy) - whether you’re a man or woman, denim is always kind of a shot in the dark. Hopefully, once you find a brand/style that you like, you can find them again in the future!
Make note of the brands and shapes that look good on people with your body type - it’s always good to keep track of styles that might work for you, so when you go shopping, you have something to start.
You can, however, look at the top picks and bestsellers on blogs like this or recommendation engines like 3luxe (http://www.3luxe.com/category/Jeans/Men’s_Jeans) or on the many, many social shopping sites.
Sort of off topic, but does anyone remember what shopping was like before we had the web? Even if you only use it as a reference or as a source of reviews, it’s definitely made things so much easier.
