When choosing a pair of jeans to wear, a lot depends on where you are going and what the occasion is. Here are some guidelines on how to wear the right jeans for any occasion.

Choosing the Right Jeans
If you are like most men, you probably have a few pairs of jeans in your closet that you've broken in just the way you like them. The denim feels nice and soft from so much wear. But while you love your jeans, you aren't always sure when it is appropriate to wear them or what to pair them with. A lot to depends on where you are going and what the occasion is. Here are some guidelines on how to wear the right jeans for any occasion:

All jeans are not created equal. There are very casual jeans and then dressier pairs. Make sure you have some of both in your closet. Casual jeans may be more faded or distressed. Darker, well-cut jeans are better for nicer occasions.

Remember that jeans alone don't make the outfit. What you pair your jeans will either take your outfit up a notch or establish it as undeniably casual.

A pressed fitted button-down gives a crisp look to jeans and works for a casual date, a very dressed down day in the office or dinner out. Bring along a sweater to take you through the evening.

Dress up dark jeans with a blazer. This adds instant polish to any outfit and can look very modern with the right shoes.

Don't forget that footwear and belts are accessories, too. Opt for boots for a stylish alternative that can dress up your look. And dress shoes are a predictable, and always appropriate, option with a nice shirt. Wear your jeans with sneakers for a football game or casual day out. Also vary your belt accordingly. A casual canvas belt or woven one may be a good choice for a weekend afternoon, while a polished black or brown leather belt may work better for a dressier occasion.
