This model is considered a classic, it has won the hearts of millions of people around the world. Correctly selected tapered jeans will emphasize the advantages of the figure, hide the flaws. But for this, a person needs to know what length and width the trousers should be. Because the most stylish beautiful jeans will not fit well if they do not fit in size and style.
What types are there?
Every self-respecting man should know what types of jeans exist. The style of these trousers is determined by the cut and the rise. The cut refers to the width of the legs.
Jeans are classified according to three main criteria:
- RISE – waist height or rise (distance from the waist button to the point where the two legs join);
- FIT – cut of trousers;
- CUT – width of the bottom of the trousers;
According to the type of fit, there are three main types of men's jeans:
- Low Rise – low rise. The waistline is on the hips. Gentlemen rarely choose these trousers. But bold fashionistas wear these jeans with pleasure, combining them with the most unusual things. A person with ideal body proportions can afford to wear trousers with a low rise;
- Medium Rise – medium fit. The waistline is below the waist. This universal model is the most popular. It suits any style, age, and body type. The big plus of this model is that it matches any outerwear;
- High Rise – high rise. The waistline reaches almost to the navel. It fits well on a full figure, and is also suitable for those who prefer to wear shirts untucked. Over the past few years, they have become very popular.
When choosing trousers, you need to consider all the nuances of their fit. Models with a low waist visually shorten the legs and lengthen the torso. High-waisted trousers lengthen the legs and make the figure slimmer.

An important criterion when choosing jeans is the man's figure. Slim, tall people with long legs should choose straight jeans. This model will favorably emphasize the advantages of the body. Low-rise trousers will visually make the body of a man with long legs more proportional. Cropped jeans also suit such men. Tapered men's jeans look especially good on them. But you should be very careful with this model, because they have the ability to change the proportions of the legs for the worse. Thin men with long legs should not choose models with wide legs, because they look ridiculous.
People of average height should choose straight-cut jeans with a low waist. Tapered jeans will make a person with such a body type look even shorter and thinner. Wide trousers are also not suitable for them, because they will look ridiculous in them.
Those lucky enough to have a proportional body can wear jeans of any style. Even light-colored tapered men's jeans look great on them. Wide models that emphasize the relief of the torso look best on a muscular body. You should be very careful with tapered models, because in them a man with well-developed muscles will look like a triangle.
The most difficult thing to choose the right jeans for people with excess weight. In spacious baggy trousers they will look even bigger. It is better for them to choose classic models with a low waist and medium-width legs.
Men's jeans tapered at the bottom should not be too tight and tight, because they can cause discomfort. Tight trousers should leave enough space for comfortable sitting and movement. It is important to find the optimal balance between comfort and a beautiful appearance.
The appearance of jeans depends largely on:
- Material – must be dense and highly wear-resistant;
- Colours – a high-quality painted product will have a uniform shade;
- Sewing quality – the stitching should be neat, even and strong.
Winter trousers are made of thick, dark-colored fabric: brown, gray, black, blue. Summer jeans are made of thin, light-colored fabric. The quality of the material of the trousers can be determined by its texture. Good-quality fabric does not crease, does not wrinkle, and is rough to the touch. Real denim is heavy, so products made from it should have significant weight. It is made from natural cotton. Some manufacturers add a little elastane so that finished products made from it retain their shape and have good wear resistance. This is the type of denim that is used for tapered men's jeans.
Classic jeans have 5 pockets. They can be real or have a decorative function. When buying, do not blindly trust the famous brand indicated on the product label. After all, many unscrupulous manufacturers sell their not always high-quality goods under the guise of a popular manufacturer. In order to protect yourself from buying bad trousers, you need to check their quality. All lines should be even, seams strong, the label should be made of genuine leather, and the name of the company should be indicated on the zipper and rivets.
Who is not suitable
Jeans are worn by people of different ages and social status. In autumn and winter bad weather, this wardrobe item is most relevant. Many people have had the opinion since Soviet times that wearing jeans means becoming fashionable. At the same time, they do not even think that they do not suit them. Skinny jeans on the hips are very popular, but they do not suit most people at all. Only those with narrow hips and a firm body can afford such trousers. All people with a flabby stomach, wide lower back, hips will have to forget about such jeans forever. Also, very skinny trousers are categorically unsuitable for men whose legs are far from ideal. Tight denim fabric, precisely repeating the contours of the body, will further emphasize the curvature of the legs.
It is worth noting that skinny jeans for men can be dangerous to their health. The tight, tight fabric compresses the joints, which limits their mobility. Over time, this leads to stretching of the joint capsule and destruction of the joints.
When walking in tight pants, the legs and spine receive additional stress, which results in the development of osteochondrosis and problems with veins.
Skinny jeans with a high waist can cause problems with internal organs. A love for such trousers is dangerous for men because it can lead to infertility.
