Another part of clothing you should already have in your closet: jeans. Versatility in use makes up lack of its versatility in material. As you probably know, it's comfortable and durable piece of casual clothing. Everyone should own a pair or two of dark, fitting jeans. It's not very expensive, and there are various types of styles so everybody can find his favorite.
Fit it right. One more time, this is the most important rule. Even the bes looking or the most expensive panst will look really bad when they are not suitable for your body. Things that you should keep in mind are waist size, lenght and width of the leg. Waist should fit you snuggly, not to let your pants drop, however when it crumbles too much after putting on a belt, then its too big. Remember, if you feel any discomfort while breathing, it means they are propably too tight. Fit is supposed to make you look better but at the same time it should give you the comfort you need. Next thing to consider, length of the leg, can be easily adjusted to your height by a tailor or even yourself, if you know how to use a needle and thread. It's quite easy to find the right measure: just take your shoes off and stand flat on the ground. Material by the soles should barely touch the ground. Leg cut is the most important factor here, because it changes overall look of your posture and whole outfit. Too loose will make you look shorter than you are and give the impression of a person that is not interested in looking good. Too tight could be uncomfortable and ruin your casual, manly elegance. It's difficult to find perfect pants for your figure, because most of the pants "off the rack" nowadays is created to fit average size. Most of my own pants had to be narrowed by a tailor. There are 5 types of cuts:
1. Bootcut - fitting in the waist and thighs. but a bit loose on the bottom to wear over high shoes.
2. Relaxed fit - a bit looser in leg than regulars. I would avoid this type as it makes you look shorter, bulkier and doesn't match mordern man's elegance.
3. Regular - Straight line from top to bottom. Propably most common type cause of the comfort it leaves, however not recommended by myself. They tend to look acceptable only on heavier guys, average and skinny should stay with more fitted pants.
4. Slim fit - like regular but with narrowed leg under the knee. they make you look tall, slender and stylish, whan the material is just touching your skin.
5. Skinny fit - a bit more brave choice, as the material here is tight aroung your body, leaving no comfortable space and exposing details of your figure.
Pants are supposed to create straight lines along your legs, which make you look taller and slim. That means, throwing away all those old fashioned cargo pants. You don't want any pockets to break those lines, because that would make you look more bulky, short and give a bad influence on overall appearance. Other varieties that I reccomend to avoid are strange types of jeans wash, like acid or disression of the material. It's really the opposite of a modern anddrapper look.
For the beginning you might consider buying one pair of dark indigo jeans and one pair in dark grey, both slim fitting of course.
