The 14 Best Skinny Jeans for Men Who Still Want a Slim Fit

• Material: Any kind of denim that is either made from cotton or with a cotton blend is the best route to go with skinny jeans since the fit is already very slim. You can't have a slim fit with poor fabric and quality. That's a no-no.
• Fit: These are skinny jeans we're talking about here, so the fit should be tapered and slim. Jeans with a loose or baggy fit don't qualify as being "skinny," so if it's branded as skinny and the fit is loose, that means you may need to downsize. By the same standpoint, skinny jeans shouldn't be too tight to the point where you can't breathe either. Consider reading reviews from users and the product description to also help with achieving a perfect fit.
• Color: The most common colors for skinny jeans are light blue (also sometimes referred to as washed), dark blue, and black, but you'll definitely find some skinny jeans colors in white and tan as well.
• Weight: Lightweight denim seems to work best with skinny jeans as they measure between 5 to 12oz and need to be light in general in order to work as skinny jeans. There's a few that might teeter on the edge of being mid-weight, but most are definitely on the lighter side.

While BOSS certainly isn't the only luxury brand that sells skinny jeans (just about every one does), their Tapered-Fit Skinny Jeans remain a favorite of ours not just because of the sleek ripped punk look, but also because of the super soft cotton construction which is comfort at its most supreme.

You'll have to get them dry cleaned instead of washing them regularly, but that extra step is worth it.
