Buying The Perfect Pair Of Men's Jeans by Sal Ciolfi (10)

Reproduce your normal wearing conditions

The best way to test the worth of your new jeans is to put them through a trial run. Walk around the store with them and check the pocket space and your level of comfort when sitting down. Can they handle your keys? Wallet? Are they itchy or too warm for certain seasons?

You should also make sure to try them on with the belt you wear most. This will show you where the waist falls on you, if the jeans match your belt and if the loops can hold your belt properly.

Finally, try on jeans with the shoes you wear most often, and keep in mind that aside from seeing if the colors match, you want to know how the pants fall. If the jeans are too long, fold them over to approximate how they would look once hemmed. Remember, the back cuff should be aligned with the top part of the sole.
