How to combine a shirt and men's jeans?

Tags: #Velveteen #Jeans #Cotton

These two items of clothing are in the wardrobe of every man, without exception. It would seem that there could be something difficult in combining them, because this is not a business suit that requires compliance with many rules! However, one guy looks stylish and “expensive” in jeans and a shirt, while the other, even having spent a lot of money on clothes, looks ridiculous. Let's figure out how to combine a shirt top and denim bottom in the best way.

Criteria for choosing a shirt to pair with jeans

The main thing to consider when choosing is the features of the figure. Stylists advise adhering to the following rules:

For those with short stature, it is better to buy long shirts to wear “under the belt,” that is, tucked in.
Mesomorphs, that is, men with a heavy build, are advised to avoid tight jeans and too-fitting shirts. If your height allows, you can wear a shirt untucked, but make sure that it is not too wide.
If you have a noticeably protruding belly, you should not choose a large untucked top, otherwise the “bell” effect will look comical.
No need to pair men's jeans with a classic formal shirt for the office. Its distinctive features: soft, thin fabric and a rigid stand-up collar with a tie. If there is no way out, then it is better to roll up the sleeves to the elbow (twice the width of the cuff) or throw a suitable jacket or cardigan on top. A classic shirt is only worn tucked in, because it is long and has a straight edge.
Sports shirt models with a rounded hem look good with untucked jeans. It should reach mid-thigh or slightly lower.
If you are a fan of denim and want to wear a denim shirt with the same bottom, then choose a darker option.

Features of combining shades and textures of fabrics

The ideal sports shirt to be combined with jeans underneath should be made from thick, coarse fabric: denim, Chanel, Oxford, etc. It can have additional pockets, epaulettes, fasteners, an interesting collar and colors.

Remember seasonality and appropriate fabric density: Summer lightweight jeans will look great with a thin cotton top, but ridiculous with a corduroy one.

A classic of the genre is the combination:

white shirt and traditional straight jeans in deep color;
trio: unbuttoned checkered flannel shirt, T-shirt, any denim bottom.

Important! In a pair of jeans and a shirt, the cost of the first element is usually higher; men are ready to invest hundreds of dollars in their favorite Levi's in order to wear them for several years. However, when looking at a person, it is the shirt that takes the central place, it is the first thing that the eye falls on, so you should not skimp on this item of clothing.Buy products made from quality materials and take proper care of them in a timely manner.

What shoes should I add to my look?

The fact that you can only wear sneakers or sneakers under jeans is a far-fetched restriction. This versatile garment can be safely combined with many types of shoes. Stylists recommend:

The trouser leg should not cover the back of the shoe, so shorten or tuck it.
Classic Regular Fit jeans are an excellent basis for a casual look for men of any age and body type. Suitable for them: moccasins, brogues, sneakers, deserts, loafers. The shoes will fit in a traditional solid color if there is a jacket or jumper on top. The elongated toe of the shoes will suit tall people, and the rounded toe will suit short people..
Wide Relaxed/Loose Fit jeans, torn jeans are the choice for a youthful, informal, relaxed look. They are equipped with bulky sneakers and rough boots, sandals with deliberately high soles, slippers, slippers, and sneakers.
Narrow Slim Fit shoes go well with both classic shoes (with a fitted formal shirt) and sneakers, moccasins or monks, if the top is an untucked polo shirt. Sneakers are always appropriate.
Skinny Fit, which precisely follows the shape of the leg, looks great paired with high boots, espadrilles, moccasins, and ankle-length sneakers.
