A great pair of jeans has pretty much been a staple in everyone’s wardrobe for over a century – boy or girl. But what makes that pair so great varies from person to person. Maybe you’re looking for a go-to pair to wear to the office. Or you’ve got to buy something to wear at home or to chill with pals, or do your chores in - who knows?

Whatever you’re looking for, we’ve come to help you. As compiled from Esquire magazine, here are four key jean fits for the modern men of 2017 to refer to. Read on to find the denim that’ll change your life.

The traditionalist cut

If you're looking to channel the timeless style of guys like Steve McQueen, why not take a page from their era? Try a slightly slimmed-down straight cut with a little more room in the hips and thighs, but not so much that it bags out from the body.

The width at the knee should be just around the same as the width at the ankle. And if you really want to stay on the theme, a cuff is the way to go.

The professional look

Just want a great pair that you're sure will fit in at the office? Go with the slim fit, which works for pretty much every body type and situation. Tailored but not tight is the name of the game here.

The jeans should be trim through the hips and thighs and skim your knees and calves without strangling them. A word of warning though: If you can see your muscles flex, you've gone too far. A narrower hem sits nicely on top of everything from minimal sneakers to classic dress shoes.

The rocker touch

Skinny jeans have always been steeped in rebel cool. The key here is going super-slim but not legging-level skintight.

Therefore, look for a pair that hugs your frame from the hips all the way down to the leg opening. Feel free to go with a longer inseam if you want the leg to stack on top of your footwear or opt for something a little shorter to keep the lines nice and clean.

The throwback type

These days, one of the most fashion-forward moves you can make is to look at the past when it comes to your clothes. Think denim in its mid-'90s heyday, just tweaked for the modern age. The cuts are looser through the hips and thighs. You'll either want to hem or roll the bottoms to get the right length. You could even cut them off to a raw hem right above the ankle, depending on the look you want.
