The "Skinny" on Jeans

We all have them...our favorite pair of jeans. I recently came across a pair that absolutely fell in love with at first sight about a week ago that I purchased from Macy's. They're the Levi's 511 Skinny fit jean. The trend for skinny fit is now dying out among the ladies (who are now loving the whole wide leg thing), but they're still chic and stylish in men's fashion. Now don't be alarmed men! Don't let the word "skinny" scare you. If you're concerned about things being a little...constricting, opt for more a slimmer cut (Levi's 514 Slim Straight) as apposed to a skinny fit, tapered leg. Whichever fit you decide to wear, thy're guarenteed to give you more of a tailored, longer, leaner, and more sophistacated silhouette that bootcut or loose fit jeans won't give you.

Some advice for you when it comes to choosing the right pair for you:
If you happen to be heavier on the bottom, or more concerned about your thighs, then lean towards a darker wash to slim things out... and that goes for both the 511's and the 514's. Darker washes happen to be more versitile. You can dress them up for the evening with a nice pointed toe dress shoe, or dress them down in the daytime with a pair of trainers or any other casual shoe. Also, make sure that you get your jeans long enough to avoid looking like Steven Q. Urkel from Family Matters!
