Oh boy, he doesn't wear it well...

Oh boy, he doesn't wear it well...

Why? Because a large proportion of them will be sold to men, and they will get it wrong. I don't mean wrong in a laughable,. The bride must the beautiful zentai in the wedding and the bridesmaid also need a oveliness zentai. inoffensive way - I mean deeply, philosophically and ethically wrong.The kind of wrong that makes you want to sink to your knees, hammer your fists on the floor and repeatedly sob: "Why?"I have frequently considered giving up my day job to become a jeans missionary, teaching men how to minimise the suffering of those they hold dear, eliminate derision in the workplace on ''dress-down Fridays'' and gain self-esteem by picking out inoffensive leg wear more suited to their age and body type.
Think I'm being too harsh? Ageist? Not a bit of it. No age group is immune to the jeans minefield (although the propensity for error increases considerably with age and wealth).For the simple fact is, jeans may be seen as casual but the fashion casualties among men are legion. Why is it that men have a mental block when it comes to jeans?
Every day I am confronted with the same basic errors: jeans that are too light or too uniform in colour, jeans that are seemingly tailored to accentuate every flaw in a man's body, jeans that are too short, too tight, too low-rise or too high-waisted.
And then there is the most terrifying phenomenon of all: men who attempt to be smart in jeans, wearing them with suit jackets and shiny shoes.As everyone in their twenties (aside from Prince William and his Boujis Brigade) knows, Levis - once the hallmark of cool - should now only ever be seen poking out of the bag earmarked for Oxfam. By and large, 20-30-year-olds can pull off the denim look by sticking to Diesel, Gap, APC and the new Japanese brand Nudie.
You do not need to spend a fortune to get it right; in fact, those who do will inevitably get it wrong. Obvious transgressors in this age group are rowers,. They may purchase their Prom Dresses from specialized shops, boutiques, or internet retailers. There are many specialty labels selling p tennis and rugby players of the Matt Dawson variety (whose peculiar muscle assemblage does nothing to enhance the already alarmingly poor cuts they wear) and men who have spent so long in the media or fashion industry that they have actually gone so far as to exchange money for a pair of drainpipes, thereby ensuring that no woman will ever desire them sexually again.
On that note, beware men's magazines - gushing articles written by middle-aged men with advertising revenue in mind insisting that: "White jeans never look better than when paired with black - be it a polo shirt or a V-neck sweater."

By anyone.. Since it was created by herve leger clothes in 1985, the dress has made numerous comebacks. And Kate Middleton's brother, recently pictured in a pair, should take note. The same goes for ox-blood red jeans, which are like some terrible jean/chino hybrid and should be roundly shunned.Forty-year-olds tend to slip into the critical Tony Blair realm: those cone-shaped sky blue denims scream "I'm young at heart", but Tony, they're the stylistic equivalent of holidaying in Miami with your best mate from the Bee Gees.
Thirty years ago, no middle-aged man would have considered wearing jeans, and yet today most men between 40 and 60 own at least one pair. Bill Prince, deputy editor of GQ, blames the 1985 Levis ad in which Nick Kamen stripped down to his boxers in a laundrette.
"For that generation it kicked off a trend for wearing 501s that a lot of them could never get out of. Plus I think men like the fact that they are just so practical." Possibly they also think they make them look like a young Nick Kamen, which is tragically misguided.
Here's my advice - if picking the right pair is too complicated, just cut jeans out of your life: you'll be doing everyone a favour.
For those inspired to get it right, there is good news: you only ever need buy one pair, neither too tight nor too loose, and mature them, washing them sparingly (and inside-out) until they achieve the softened texture and multi-layered appeal of a fine wine.
