Loose fit jeans making a comeback this spring
Though skinny jeans have become a recent men’s fashion phenomenon - helped in no small part by NME-friendly bands like the Strokes and Razorlight - it is not a look for everyone. Depending on your build, skinny jeans can make you look dangerously skinny or almost like a court jester.
Luckily, for those who like to dress according to popular trends, yet don’t like the idea of looking like they’re wearing their girlfriend’s jeans, loose fit jeans are gaining popularity; giving wearers versatile clothing and the additional comfort not afforded by skinny jeans. Good loose fit jeans should be casual, yet formal enough for the office and trendy enough for a night out, making them the perfect addition to your wardrobe this spring.
When trying on a pair of loose fit jeans, it is important to get the right fit. The length should be enough for the jeans to comfortably reach the floor when you’re not wearing shoes; jeans that are excessively long are really just for teenagers. When it comes to the waist, bear in mind that jeans tend to expand with body-heat and shrink a little with the initial washes, so a comfortable, yet slightly snug fit should be acceptable.
