Keri's Fab Finds: Dudes and Denim

As most of my friends already know, I am a HUGE jeans freak. I live in mine and I judge others by their's (so awful, I know). A bad pair of jeans can ruin an outfit and a good pair can make one. If I can help any of you guys, I will feel that my job was well done. Please see the below Top 10 Rules to Mastering the "Art of Jeans". If you can master it, you will be ready to impress!

Top 10 Rules to Mastering the "Art of Jeans"

Be prepared to spend at least $200. Think of it as an investment.

Err on the side of long vs short. Floods are never okay.

Stay away from black denim unless you are in your 20's and look like you work at Urban Outfitters.

Know your measurements. The real ones, not the ones you wish for. Go up a size if you have muffin top issues.

Avoid a lot of whiskers (bleached out creases) by the crotch and busy embroidery on back pockets.

If you're going to go cheap (sigh), go for darker denim. The washes are a big part of the cost so if you go for cheap, the lighter ones will look it.

Look for brands that also do woman's jeans. They tend to be more fashionable.

The lower the back pockets, the better the booty looks.

If you're confused with all the cuts offered, go with straight leg (hint: relaxed = wider legs).

If you feel the urge to pull up your waistband, get a smaller size or wear a belt. Never do the "Seinfeld" look.
