A week ago I randomly decided to order the Stretch Selvedge Slim-Fit Jeans from Uniqlo. You've clearly taught me well! 😃
I was watching your Boots guide just as you posted this. Love your videos
I really appreciate that you gave specifics for muscular guys. Being a muscular person I’ve had lots of trial and error and find that most modern jeans don’t fit, even ones labeled “relaxed”. I found that very classic style jeans such as the wranglers you see cowboys wear fit well, and other old fashioned work style jeans. One thing I’d like to add to your tips for well shaped men would be to find pants that sit up on the actual waist, near the belly button. And tuck the shirt in. The same as a women with a nice small waist, she shows it off, it looks great. So should a man 👌🏼
I'm a longer time subscriber. I love this video, goes deeper than a lot of the more general ones. Always learn something though, every video!
Thank you for making this video! I thought i was a length 32 for years then i listened to your advice on where the pants should end. I got a shorter pair and it looks neater without bunching fabric by my shoes
Hey you! Great video and about something I have in my wardrobe already!
Fantastic advice as always Ashley 👍
Love the videos and this is a very comprehensive guide. One thing I've found for me though is that even though I'm a heavy build, I still do a slight taper at the leg because my ankles are smaller as are my calves. Straight fit jeans and chinos turn into flood pants on me. However, you covered that fantastically with the inch pinch rule and the ankles. Thank you for the great content.
Saving this video for when I buy my next pair of jeans :)
I just love this channel thankyou! for all these videos
Glad you like them!
As an old denim head, I would of discussed washing them. A dark wash will fade quickly with washes, however, don't wash them often, maybe every 6 months, or when they get extremely stretched. Instead, Febreeze antimicrobial spray and a wash cloth to rub out any marks/stains, then just toss them in the dryer. It will bring them back to shape, clean, and remove any odor, without wringing out the color of the wash, the same definitely applies to black jeans as well. Washing should honestly only be necessary when you completely get them filthy, and after months of use without washing, it will bring out the natural lines and distress in the fabric that you've rightfully worked very hard for.
Oh yeah!! These are my favorite pair of jeans. I give this video two 👍🏽 up. Nice job Ash!
Appreciate it!
Thank you. Keep up the great work!
I remember a period of time buying denim and having to sit in a warm bathtub for 30mins when you first brought them home (it was pretty much what everyone did back then). The water would turn blue and you'd have dye on you for 3 days. Good ole days.
Nice informative video. Thanks for making it. All of my jeans are Dark Wash. Some are slim fit, but some are straight fit. I normally wear one of my slim fits unless I am wearing my cowboy boots. I wear the boots when I dress up because I don't own dress shoes and don't want to. When I wear my cowboy boots, I have to wear one of the straight fits because the slim fit leg opening won't accommodate them.
I love your channel Ashley, thank you! I’m not sure if it’s your forte, but could you do an episode on men’s body washes? I’m looking to upgrade from my Dove body wash (please don’t judge lol) to something more mature.
Always learn things from your videos thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Wow thanks for the Video. Helped a lot!
Great content! Subscribed
Really like this video. I need dark wash denims, skinnies. Love this thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Recently, I've started my selvedge jeans collection. I got tired of taking the time to break-in regular denim, to only have it fall apart soon after. I'm hoping the jeans I have (a 14 oz and a 21 oz) will last me a very long time. I'm also looking forward to the unique fades. Would you mind making a video about caring for selvedge denim jeans? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts about when and how to wash them. Some people recommend only washing them once or twice a year! I'm so used to washing them after one or two wears... I'm not sure how I feel about wearing them six months without a wash, haha.
Dig these vids just discovered your channel
So…I feel heard! And understood! I am really very grateful for your time putting this video together. I felt so comfortable listening to you and feel like you’re not trying to turn me into something I’m not. I’m a regular bigger dude. Other channel recommendations have me scratching my head and I feel like they’re not speaking to me. So thank you! 😊
I still believe in selvage so please if anyone reads this there are a lot of options and brands that use stretch in selvage denim! Naked & Famous being a big one, Denim distributors like Denimio and Redcast heritage have a filter on their websites to narrow down what selvage jeans have stretch. Also if you’re not a fan of stretch but want comfortability look for selvage jeans that use Zimbabwe cotton. It is super soft and comfortable and breathable.
Express has a stretch selvedge as well
In an older jeans video, I seem to remember that you recommended the tapered fit over the slim fit, no? The Diesel Buster dark wash jeans used to be my favorite, as they fitted me perfectly, but unfortunately Diesel took them out of their collection. Still haven't found a good alternative with a similar fit. What do you think of the Diesel tapered jeans 2023 d-finitive? Thanks
Do you have a guide or could you make one for some of us with a lil bit of a thicker build?
I have a few pairs of dark wash jeans and love them but What I struggle with is finding shirts colors that look good with them, feel like I’m limited with what I have in the closet that goes well with dark wash.
I think Levis 501s are the best jeans. I've worn them since I was a teenager. As you mentioned "slight break at the ankle" is about right for leg length. No "high tide / flooded" or "bunched" styles. No cuffs either, IMO. Correct waist size is what allows them to be worn both with and without a belt. Chukkas / desert boots have always gone good with them. Just as an aside: I wonder what happened to Levis corduroy pants (aka cords)? A long time ago, they were just as popular as 501s. You can still find them at Macy's, but nobody wears them anymore.
Agreed on the 501s. Slightly more fitted than the 505s but still comfortable in the seat and thigh. I have a dark wash pair that i use as my dressier jeans and the 505s for more casual outfits.
Should we get measurements from a tailor if we buy our clothes online ?
Thank I have learn many thing from you about jean
Thoughts on the current trend of more relaxed, wider fitting jeans/trousers (I'll steer clear of baggy) I'm quite slim Usually wear Levi 501s
Hey, just a heads up that Uniqlo made the rise of their chino and jeans to the point where it goes above my belly button so a belt is needed
Breathed a sigh of relief at 7:10. Struggle so hard with jeans + dress shoes or jeans + sport coat..just feels incorrect (even if it seems to be somewhat en vogue at the moment). Edit: your example later in the video actually looks really nice.
You are right with the slim fit cut. But rolled up sloppy Regular Jeans with combat-boots can look dope as well... especially if the man looks masculine... like Zakk Wylde is wearing
The rolled up dark wash jeans have the "This indie band is gonna be some tough sledding" vibe.
Raw is the way to go
So what am I supposed to do when I've got the "dad bod" thing going on up top (a bit of a belly, but definitely not "fat" or husky) and skinny legs? I try sticking with slim tapered and I guess that's ok?
I only just got my first pair but got them hemmed cause I can wear a 30 but it's bit to snug around hips but length is good but can also do 32's but it's vise versa, can wear without a belt but prefer but a bit long in the length so I got them shortened not even by much and I showed my parent's and they said think got them a bit short. Cause when I sit them at the waist they show bit of my stocks/ankles, which I don't know if it's a good thing or not to have that. So I have to pull down Abit, but before getting them fixed I looked in a mirror and they looked fine. But I have a few shoes that are a bit higher at the angels to cover it. And this is only cause I'm a 22yrs guy who is 5'4ish maybe bit taller so sometimes finding things that automatically fit to the T is a semi hard thing
I'm a shorter guy that's on the heavier side would it look ok if I were to fold up my jeans with boots? My wife just told me no cause of my height what's your rule on this?
About time someone told people to wear jeans that fit their body type vs the what’s trendy approach
You need dark wash jeans for boots. Also dark wash jeans for more casual boots. As for me I have a have raw denim dark wash and also regular dark wash. I like slim fit and straight leg for boots.
Ashley, Assistance with finding that fit @ 6:55? Love that entire fit. White shirt especially with the shoes/boots? Would be sooooooo happy for it.
Amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for the video! I’d definitely recommend being careful wearing newer dark denim with any white shoes. The dye will rub off on the laces and upper. Also, don’t forget about the rise - it’s as important as the fit. Some jeans are built to sag on hips without tucking in a shirt, some have a higher rise so they fit more like pants. Definitely something to keep in mind if dressing the jeans nicely.
I think for me It depends on men what jeans what's best for them. ask for me I love to wear skinny jeans Levi's 510 & Levi's 511 slim fit. I don't want to wear a loose jeans.
Levi’s 502 fits best, it’s like a 501 but tappered at the legs
I have skinny legs and found that tapered jeans fits me better than slim (and of course skinny), as they are not that tight under my knees area.
In this day and age, there’s absolutely no reason for anyone not to look there best. The fact that there’s a style and fit for every body shape is a truly beautiful thing. So glad many companies are on board and offering a wide variety. 👍🏼
Most companies don't offer small enough waist sizes for me. The struggle is real.
So we cannot wear our Taupe / beige boots with dark wash denim ? Make it video on how to style Taupe suede boots.
Personally there’s 3 things I hate in jeans. 1 skin tight jeans, 2 cuffed jeans, don’t know why but I’d rather them way to long than cuffed, and 3 when they’re too short there should be no break and go over the shoe but not too much. I know these kind of contradict but that’s my opinion
Beautiful
I love my shoes and boots but I just can't do the pant leg roll up thing.
No one can hate the roll up look it is so unflattering and juvenile looking
Random Thought - Ashley, you look gorgeous in the thumbnail.
haram,,, u no muslim
the really important things in life
thank you. My wife loves my new dark wash jeans! but could you please make a video on an outdoors, casual sport type of pants. that are not sweatpants, chinos, or jeans. for example, something I can go hiking with, and then afterwords go to a pub and still look good.
Good fitting cargo pants.
What type of jeans (slim, straight, etc.) do you suggest for men who are slim in legs but have a small beer belly?
You want loose or straight fit, definitely not skinny, they are out. Loose look better slightly stacked at the ankle, never turn them up, never wear ankle jeans, better to be longer by a couple of inches than short.
@@richardburns5925 Loose is bad for me. I prefer slim or slim straight. I hate how wide the leg is when I look down at them, though.
@@jproog41 ok, I wear Levi loose fit carpenter jeans or Diesel loose fit. I've also got Kalvin's wide leg. All probably too wide. 501s are a straight leg and a touch looser than they used to be, Levi do a load of straight leg now. I'll tell you a good straight jean, Diesel Larkee 👍
@@jproog41 or Levi 511 slim not skinny, I've got some, I'm sure they are 511s, not had them on for a while, I'm into wide leg stuff at the moment.
@@richardburns5925 Thanks! I don't like wide legs, personally, I think I look ridiculous and like everyone else. I want to stand out a bit.
The whole point of jeans is to get them hemmed after. As long as the waist fits,, length doesn’t matter cause it’ll be cut anyway:
I WOULD LOVE TO USE DARK WASH JEANS
I call that look the plumbers license look lol not the poopy pants look ahahha
In London it's called the Dagenham cleavage!
Sweet ❤
I love Levi 511. So comfy
They ride low sometimes tho but if your rear is flat no issues
All my jeans are skinny or either slim tappered.
Levis 501 darkwash
Summary of this channel: “…Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate, so we can buy shit we don’t need…”
Chinos are great for spring and summer, but fall and winter scream dark wash denim.
Interesting! Those recommendations (6 months ago) have been trending in Europe like 4 years ago. Almost everybody is wearing loose and wide pants and nobody‘s roll up anymore. Also nobody would ever combine brown suede shoes with dark jeans.
Body builder here so I usually need to upsize to fit my booty and bigger legs so they usually end up big in the waist 😮😮😮.
Fellow gym rat, not body builder but dedicated gym dude. Get something custom done. U will look badass as they will fit perfect.
"Poopy pants" LOL 😅
Dark wash jeans brown boots and black jeans goes with black boots period.
Imagine a guy making a fashion tips video for women!!
Skinny Jean is out ?
It's impossible to find jeans without fading in the thight and without weird washes/textures
😍😍
The type of jeans she's into is that Gucci, that Fendi, that Prada, that BCBG, Burberry, Dolce and Gabbana.
Says I need to be able to wear them without a belt. That would require me to get a 26in waist which almost no one makes. I need a belt with my 28in pants lol.
If a some stranger comes up to me and tells me I am wearing my jeans wrong, I am farting on them. Yes, even this asian girl.
I get my dark indigo jeans custom made at a little shop in Kyoto. I’ve never found anything better from any known branded product.
you fly over there on your private jet and baCK? LOL
@@HappyWolverine No, I fly commercial and stay in hostels but I like clothes that fit (among other things). Of course it is necessary to buy a few pairs each visit and they do last quite a while. Matter of fact I will be there in 12 days.
@@bradl2636 Are you there?
Whenever I wear pants my size the pinching gives me gas. Really bad gas. My coworkers can't breathe. Send help.
I’m not wearing them wrong. You are.
I only wear dark wash. The light washes just don't work for me.
💯💯 same and I feel like it’s for the early 20s lol
@@0ddman1 Totally man
What brands are the ones you think have the best dark wash jeans ?
I’m a big fan of Banana Republic’s traveler jeans. Give them a try. I don’t think you’ll regret it.
In my opinion Levi's, Edwin and Lee. Edwin in particular is a very underrated brand. I don't rate Nudies because they have something lopsided or irregular about the fly--it's part of the design. Wranglers are strictly for Texas pig farmers.
Give Filson a try if you want a great pair of jeans.
"There are even jeans that are crafted from 100% cotton." You don't say. Denim IS made of 100% cotton...
6:10 Everguy should trive to get that and just cut the bullshit into picking the right jeans. If you got legs like female what you doing bro 😂
Hey fellas This is really complicate don't you think?
Thank god ashley does not use that annoying Vocal Fry.
Btw on a short guy those jeans rolled up to show off the entire boot will make it look like you have chicken legs . No nit picking just something to keep in mind 👍👍👍.
You are wrong on the length , Never have a gap on the top off your boot or shoe .
You say dark wash jeans but most of the photos you are showing are raw that are not pre washed.
I avoid dark jeans, stains my cream leather car seats.
Think it's so 2013. Girl is nice but very old fashioned.
Can we talk about the fact that the example pictures on clothing-sites all look awful? Just checked out the Levi's website and holy cow... Great Jeans I'm sure but the way they are worn on the pictures?!?!
I've often thought the same thing. Not just Levi's either. The models all look like death warmed up.
Sorry but does anyone feel the look at 3:21 looks good? I see this stupid look on many millennials and I want start a Go Fund Me to buy him a pair that actually fits him.
Am I the only one who thinks rolling up your jeans is kind of douchey? This isn't the 50s.
Raw denim are for real men.
Espadrilles are today's replacement for boat shoes and they're just as cringe
Skinny jeans DON'T look good on many people. Wear what you like, brush your teeth and smile. Skinny jeans, also, cause SEVERE circulation issues with some people... you're killing yourself with the jeans. The blood pressure in your legs is JUST enough to get the blood back to your heart and if NOT... well you are going to have issues with circulation.
Honestly, on the eve of 2023, you should put more emphasis and concern yourself more with the impact and sustainability of brands rather than "colors". I love to dress well, and I do, but it's meaningless if we don't promote sustainable brands and support those that are making an effort to do things right. Cheers!
Life issues
How can people wear jeans lol
What do you mean?
@@0ddman1 they are uncomfortable look bad and they just suck
@@0ddman1 u get it ?
Through their legs lol
Ashley, your choices are considered to be too safe, and the thing with being too safe is it gets boring. We need some elaborate choices.
This channel is about timeless style that works for a large audience (size, age, ethnicity, etc.), if you're wanting more specific, or fashion/trendy advice, there's other channels for that.
@@MensFashioner Well said! As you get older, you need timeless style, not fashion.
@@alwayspooh1588 Timeless? Yes. Style? No. This isn't a channel about finding your own style. It's a channel more about doing the bare minimum to not look bad.
@@minibando3660 I disagree with you there about what the channel is about; I would argue it is a channel about how to dress nicely.
@@alwayspooh1588 Well, "nice" is a definition in the end, isn't it?
