Issue #3: Jeans Are Too Baggy

Unless your name is Fred Durst, steer clear of baggy jeans.

For us modest men, baggy jeans just make us look like we’re wearing somebody else’s pants, as if we got a hand-me-down from our big brother.

In the best of situations, baggy jeans hide your manly figure. In the worst of situations, baggy jeans make you look like a middle-school kid.

Our advice? Avoid relaxed fit jeans at all cost.

Issue #4: Rise is Too Low

Low rise jeans aren’t flattering for most body types. They look great for young guys under 25 who have six-pack abs and jacked pecs.

Low rise jeans also work great for taller guys with long legs and short torsos because they visually lengthen the torso.

The problem is, these jeans tend to make your legs look stubbier. This isn’t ideal for us shorter gents.

To make up for the shortness, some guys will hike up the waist, which just tightens things around the crotch… that’s even worse than looking like you have short legs.

Normal or mid-rise is the best option for most guys.

For guys over 45, higher rise jeans can also work out well. They often maintain a clean, straight line through the hip and can keep your stomach flattened, ultimately giving you more height.
