Luxury Designer Jeans for Men: What to Look For When Buying
Most of these questions are a personal choice, but one thing is for sure, it's important to ask yourself these questions before you buy:
- Fade and wash of jeans are important.
- How tight should my jeans be and How do you know if your hips and waist match?
- What are and Where can I find the trendiest styles?
- What style of jeans is in now?
- Where can you buy the most expensive designer labels?
- Cut off or ripped jeans.
What does the Fade and Wash of jeans mean - and which is best for me?
If you're looking for a pair of designer jeans, it's important to think about the fade and wash of jeans. Just like with clothes and shoes, different fades and washes will look better with different outfits. The fade of jeans means how much lighter the color of jeans is at the bottom compared to where it starts. You'll want a faded look that goes along with your style and personal preferences. For example, if you work in an office setting, then faded black or gray jeans might go well with dress shirts and blazers. The wash of the jeans means the same thing as the fade, and it's a personal preference thing. Faded or washed jeans look like they've already been worn, even if they haven't.
How tight should my jeans be and How do you know if your hips and waist match?
It's important to know if your hips and waist match, so you don't buy a pair of jeans that will either be too tight or too loose. For the best fit, wear your old jeans and then measure the distance between your old seams and take that measurement and find a size for your new jeans based on that. If the waist of the jeans is smaller than what you're used to wearing, we suggest going up a size because it'll stretch out with wear.
With handmade designer jeans, this process is slightly more complicated, especially if you're buying online. The main problem is that a size 34 Levis is different from a size 34 Kiton or Zilli, for example. This causes large problems for people who are buying handmade jeans online.
Thankfully, if your new jeans don't fit you, you can return them to IsuiT.
What are the latest denim jeans trends?
Jeans are always changing, right? And just when you think you've bought your dream pair, the next season rolls around with an entirely new look. That's why we're here to help! So whether you're looking for a straight hug that slims your figure or a curved leg that elongates and accentuates your earthly curves, a little insider knowledge can go a long way. We'll show you what to look for in jeans so they don't wear out too quickly or have too much stretch -- and which ones will never go out of style.
Straight-leg jeans:
Also called "stovepipe" jeans, these were popularized by none other than Steve McQueen! And while they are slimming, it's important to make sure that the leg isn't too tight. Otherwise they will become uncomfortable and you'll avoid wearing them.
Loose-fit or curvy jeans
These kinds of jeans hug your body in all the right places--just be careful about not going too big if you're looking for comfort.
Fitted jeans
This is the new style on the block, and it's taking everything by storm! These kinds of jeans are slimming, flattering, yet comfortable -- what more can you ask for?
Cut off or ripped jeans:
We've seen this everywhere from Kiton to Barba Napoli. What do you think?
Ripped jeans are simple and understated, which is why they're so popular. But if you want to play it up a bit more then ripped jeans can be combined with tee shirts or top that highlight the rips.
Cut offs, on the other hand, are perfect for showing off your ankles (and perhaps your legs!). If you're looking to buy cut off jeans, then make sure they are just above the ankle. This will allow them to fit well and not be too short for comfort.
What style of jeans is in for fall 2021?
Mark my words: You'll see the most of these boot-cut jeans in 2021. While wide flares may appear old-fashioned and costumey, today's slender boot-cut jeans are right on-trend. They're really sleek and go well with high boots, so there's a lot to like about them.
Another interesting trend is flares and dungarees, which are both throwbacks to the 1980s also.
What style of jeans is falling out of fashion?
If you want to be behind the times, you can buy some skinny jeans. Due to lockdown, people started preferring comfort over style, and thus the resurgence of flares, boot-cut jeans, and dungarees. Skinny jeans are falling out of fashion, and the comfy, regular-fit jeans are back! However, if you like skinny jeans, they will always have a place on the jeans spectrum.

How tight should my jeans be around the waist?
As with most things, the answer is: it depends. If you're looking for something that's comfortable but still looks nice then stick to a slim fit around the waist. Otherwise if you want your jeans to be tight and accentuate all of your curves, go for an even tighter fit!
Generally, you shouldn't need to wear a belt, although there's no problem if you do of course. Generally speaking, a belt should be an accessory, not a necessity. Although we definitely recommend a belt for the statement, your jeans shouldn't require one.
What material are jeans made of?
Luxury jeans are often made from a variety of different materials. The most common material is Denim. The raw material that denim comes from is cotton. However, specifically high-quality handmade jeans are made from different materials, including:
- Denim/Cotton
- Linen
- Denim
- EA
- PL
- Cly
- Wool
- Cashmere
Is denim 100% cotton?
In order to make denim from cotton, you need 100% cotton. This is a great way to tell if jeans are high-quality or low-quality. If you can see on the label that they are 100% cotton, you know that they are very high quality, like Kiton and the other brands on our list of top Italian designer jean brands
