Know Your Proportions
No two men are like, and body proportions are significant when choosing which skinny jeans will complement you. For more slender gentlemen, opt for looser, more standard versions of the skinny jean - this will ensure your shape is not overly exaggerated. For those with more proportioned builds, keep in mind that more fitted styles can be worn, but consider a roll-up of the hems to balance out your fit.

Everyone's got different proportions. Keep in mind that skinny jeans do not necessarily have to be 'spray on'; in fact, a slim cut straight leg jean may be perfect to give a fitted aesthetic without the leg strangling hardships of tight denim.
