Jeans are the most versatile item in your wardrobe. They can be dressed up or dressed down, and are an essential part of your clothing collection. We all wear them and we are all looking for that perfect denim fit. With so many different fits and finishes available, the task can seem daunting, but finding that perfect pair is easier than you think when you follow a few simple rules.

You need to think about where and when you will be wearing your new jeans. Are they for lounging around in at home, or will you be wearing them out to bars, clubs and nights out? The places you intend to wear your new jeans will affect the kind of jeans you need to buy.

If your workplace allows you to wear denim to work, then you might want to check out more conservative styles and fits, darker shades, without any flashy embellishments. If you are looking for jeans for a night out, then your options are more varied and you can look for bling finishes and detailing.

Jeans come in all colours and finishes now, from classic denim to distressed finishes, faded blacks to day-glo neons. Obviously the shade you go for depends on where you are going to wear them, but as a general rule classic denim blue can be worn anywhere, stonewash is great for a casual look, and the trendiest colour right now is faded black, verging on grey.

When it comes to the fit, super-skinny jeans are out. The trend right now is to keep it slim with a classic slim or straight leg fit. This fit is great as it is versatile enough to be dressed up or dressed down, for a smart or casual look.

Baggy jeans may still be popular with skater kids, but if you are looking for a looser fit go for a compromise - the relaxed fit jean. Some stores call them relaxed fit, some stores call them loose fit. Either way these are basic straight leg jeans that sit a little lower on the hips and have are slightly baggier than regular straight leg jeans.

You might want to opt for a boot cut jean to wear with any ankle boots or cowboy boots that you have in your wardrobe. These jeans are slightly wider at the bottom - not a full-on flare cut, just slightly wider, and are great for wearing over boots as they will cover your footwear without being too tight around the ankle and bunching at the bottom.

The best way to find the denim fit that suits you best is to try on a selection of styles. Low waisted jeans will lengthen your torso, while boot cuts will lengthen your legs. Make sure the jeans you buy are not tight across the crotch and upper legs. On slim fitting jeans it is best to look for a pair where the back pockets are placed quite high.
