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.

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.

- 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.

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.
