While shopping for a pair of new jeans, I deviated from my favorite brands.Diesel, 7 For All Mankind, Energie, Evisu, True Religion to name a few. Of which a pair can costs well over $150. So, I decided to practice what I preach, and be 'The Smart Stylist' that I am. I gave myself a budget of $100. With style and quality in mind I went shopping for me and to all the guys out there and give them a dose of smart styling.

I knew at an early age what cut and fit of jeans works best for me. So, I'm not going to get into that subject. Taking into consideration that every man should know as well. As for the type of wash, last time I checked most are still acceptable with the exception of acid washed jeans. Design wise, rips and tears are stylish just don't wear one that looks like someone went to town with a razor on your jeans. Embellished back pockets are hip but as I always say moderation is key. You wouldn't want to take away the attention from what the ladies or gentlemen should be checking out, your bum! And it you don't want to make it seem your compensating for lack thereof.

I know some guys find shopping tedious but as you can see with all these jeans I found under $100 (which are as trendy and stylish as a pair of $200 jeans), you can save quite a bit.
