Guys who have been lifting (and not skipping legs) for 5+ years only - What jeans do you wear?

Usually you get a relaxed fit and have to have the waist brought in. Football quads, hams, and calves don’t fit into skinny jeans. Calvin Klein athletic jeans worked great for me easy who with bigger upper leg area but it’s all up to you really.

Get a good tailor. You will almost never get ideal fit off the rack. It’s worth it to invest in a good tailor.

yeah, quad/ham/glute guy here (5'11" 215#, < 13% BF) and I buy stretch jeans and they ride my legs like joggers. thin and stretchy are a must, have a few brands. i do have some levis but have to have them tailored (buy bigger, bring in the waist, etc) and even after a few years of break in, the stretch ones are more comfortable.

but mostly have stopped wearing jeans, instead "jean cut" casual 4 way stretch pants. in dark blue like a denim look. lots of niche clothing companies now for fitter men, it's nice.

Going to start by saying I don't have massive legs but after gyming a few years I found I had to buy 36 waste jeans and suits and have them taken in. Can't wear skinny or slim jeans. Have to get regular fit about 2 sizes too big for my waist. Id also love to have an answer for brands that suit larger leg muscles. Work suits is a fucking nightmare. I ended up just wearing chinos and a shirt.

Jeans are categorized in dumb ways lately. Attractive fitting jeans are pretty much characterized in: slim, skinny, super skinny, extreme skinny.

If you train legs you won't be able to fit a super skinny or extreme skinny. I've been lifting and training legs for 8 years and fit a skinny jean perfectly. This should pretty much be standard for all men. Girls don't want you in baggy fitting jeans because then they can't visualize what you look like without clothes.

Levi’s 502s. They’re the only tapered jeans I’ve been able to find that actually fit around my ass and thighs. They’re great if you’re lean and have muscular legs. Also, I believe most the 502s are made from stretch fabric.

stretchy kind

Musicgoon · 2020-07-09T21:31:16+00:00

Levi's classic jeans are great. Carpenter jeans make you look dumpy and skinny jeans may guys look gay AF.

SweatyAdvance · 2020-07-09T18:34:31+00:00

Get the stretchy kind. You might have to go online to find them, but they are a savior. Specially when it comes to suits. Stretchy suit pants are THE BEST.

enjoiiiiii · 2020-07-09T21:21:21+00:00

Naked and Famous Easy Guy fit are the best I have found. Get the ones with stretch.

I like 511 jeans for work. But I hate jeans so that's the only time I wear them.

Spartandonovan100 · 2020-07-09T23:54:38+00:00

Silver jeans, has stretch denim so they are very comfortable.

TXJohn83 · 2020-07-10T00:23:00+00:00

Order custom made ones online, it is the only way to get ones that are fit well. If you have any type of tone.

downvotesanimals · 2020-07-10T00:40:19+00:00

Carhartt's, bud.

DanBlackship · 2020-07-10T01:05:22+00:00

I have developed a big butt, because genetics and training for a little more than 5 years. I find that stretchy jeans (36 - 38) are more comfortable and fit better my body.

Dboy2233 · 2020-07-10T02:03:36+00:00

I just by a bigger waist and relaxed fit. I don’t like my pants right but I wear tight shirts with loose pants. I like to be able to move and run in pants/shorts in case I’m in danger etc. have shit that fucks with your range of motion is a big no no for me.

OfficerWade · 2020-07-10T05:21:16+00:00

I really like PacSun Jeans, always have since I was a teenager. They aren’t too expensive. They look better then the generic stuff you find at department stores

Transport127 · 2020-07-10T07:06:35+00:00

I like Lee and carhart brand jeans. Lee’s jeans are very comfy

power_cleaner · 2020-07-10T08:34:39+00:00

Stopped wearing jeans. Wear these lululemon pants that are thin and stretch. Or target athletic style chinos.

Isbjornsolo · 2020-07-10T11:34:35+00:00

I buy the "Anderson" fit from the Huit Denim. They are made in Wales, not cheap at £160. but genuinely the best jeans I've ever bought.
They have a lifetime repair guarantee on them also, just in case you wear out the crotch/gusset (my usual annoyance with jeans).

Jack_ofall_Trades85 · 2020-07-10T11:37:35+00:00

Levis 511 cuz they stretchy

acoltismypassport · 2020-07-10T13:29:16+00:00

28" quads here, I recently had to toss like 12 pairs of jeans from my wardrobe, feelsbadman.

I usually wear a 32-3 waist. Recently tried on a stretch fit pair with a 36 waist... still couldn't get into them lol. basically just wear shorts/sweatpants/athletic leggings now.

Snowboard18 · 2020-07-11T00:28:54+00:00

Lucky brand slim, there flexible and comfortable as fuck plus they look good and girls get to read “you just got lucky” when they unzip them
