Men are pretty much straightforward with their wardrobe choices – not that they have any choice in the matter. Women have a lot of options to resort to but men's apparels are basically the same so they make do with different styles to achieve varied looks and invoke different personalities. Mens jeans are part of their most basic item of clothing, apart from shorts. Of course, that is excluding men who can wear kilts on other parts of the world but in essence men have limited options.
Because there is not much fuss with their clothing, men try to find interesting patterns and designs to give their overall outfit a seemingly new and fresh vibe. Thankfully, mens jeans are created now to be just that – interesting yet not too outlandish for men to wear every day. It used to be a taboo for men to wear jeans that are otherwise a departure from the blue straight cut denims that are so popular even then. But taking cues from mostly male celebrities, men are now more adventurous in their choices for mens jeans.


To talk about mens jeans, the most basic look of all is the washed look. From the name itself, jeans look washed out in certain parts of the cloth. Also called acid-washed, these mens jeans are characterized by lighter colors in some parts of the denim than its original hue. The jeans go through a chemical process that strips their color leaving a pattern that is not really meant to be created and that is what makes it interesting.
Wrinkled mens jeans appear just that – wrinkled. There is no point in trying to iron out the wrinkles because that is how the denim is created. People would not be caught dead wearing clothes that are not ironed properly but in mens jeans, wrinkled means fashion and it is fast becoming a trend.
Another look is the ripped mens jeans and this is quite popular with women's jeans and shorts as well. The key is to look for a pair that has strategically placed rips to avoid appearing too overdone and risk exposing body parts that should not be. There are ways, too, to rip one's old mens jeans to "update" its look instead of throwing or giving it away.
Embroidered and printed mens jeans are slowly becoming widely available for men who like bold designs on their denims. Usually the artwork is more abstract in context but there are some mens jeans that feature a specific art or pattern that can easily make a fashion statement when worn.
