Jeans in the summer are usually not recommended, especially if the temperature rises above 30 degrees Celsius and it is very humid outside. Those who live in humid and hot climates know that it is not always convenient for young people to wear jeans. Hello to the city of Sochi!
Should you ditch your jeans this summer? Can you wear jeans in hot weather without sweating or obviously feeling uncomfortable? Is there a way out and is it possible to pick up men's summer jeans? Today, on the eve of hot summer days, we will learn how to choose jeans for the heat.
If you buy clothes where the vendors know what they are talking about, you have a chance to buy some decent jeans. Large supermarkets often have limited choices (this is one of the reasons to go to small shops and boutiques rather than large stores). You will have the opportunity to do a little research on the choice of jeans, which will be comfortable even in the summer heat.
Choosing men's summer jeans by weight
Try to figure out how much the jeans weigh first. Denim is usually measured in ounces, like most textile fabrics that are used to create clothing. Denim usually weighs more than wool and fine cotton fabrics. This property contributes to greater strength, but it also leads to overheating in the summer.
For classic jeans, a fabric that weighs 12 to 16 ounces per yard is usually used. It looks something like this: the weight of the fabric is 14 oz / yd². This thickness is enough for the denim to appear stiff.
Anything over 16 ounces per yard is made for workwear for men who can handle the rough work – for the tough and confident brutal. If you do not want to bake, do not wear such fabric in hot weather.
On the other hand, a fabric under 12 ounces per yard is a fabric that can feel much better than chinos or khakis in summer. This denim fabric is thin enough to allow the skin to breathe. Trousers made of heavy cotton fabric may not feel as comfortable as jeans, which are only one or two ounces thicker.
Blended Summer Jeans
People who are seriously into jeans can talk a lot about the different ways denim is woven. We do not need so much knowledge, it is enough to know a couple of things that should be kept in mind when the summer season comes.
Firstly, we recommend wearing 100% cotton only. Lycra jeans should be excluded from purchase for the summer. Synthetics, which are the basis for creating stretch fabrics, do not allow the skin to breathe. In turn, cotton fibers allow you to do this calmly. Jeans with synthetics will hinder the free circulation of air and, as a result, sweating will only increase. To determine if the jeans have lycra, simply try to stretch the leg. If jeans are elastic and stretch with a little effort – jeans are clearly with the addition of synthetics.

Second, pay attention to the texture and appearance of the denim. There are so-called “dry” jeans and “washed”. “Dry” jeans are made from fabric that has not been washed after being dyed in production, so the fabric looks new, without scuffs. In contrast to her, they make “washed” jeans, which look aged and worn even at the stage of sale in the store. So, “dry” jeans will be more rigid and, as a result, less breathable. “Washed” jeans are very soft and breathable.

Most men choose the golden mean for themselves: lightweight denim that has been “washed” in production, ie. looks worn in different places. In fact, such jeans can be worn in the cooler months, if you just take care of thermal underwear, then there will be no problems.
Tips on how to wear jeans in the heat
Have you found the shape and texture of jeans that are less than 12 ounces for you? Fine! It's time to arm yourself with some tips on how to wear summer jeans for a man under different circumstances.
Tucking up summer jeans – yes or no?
Curling the cuffs in summer is perfectly acceptable when the environment is informal. If you go to a nice restaurant or any other place of this kind, then return them to their previous position. However, walking with your jeans rolled up on the beach or outside is perfectly acceptable.
This style is especially popular for those guys who buy jeans with a hem (selvedge denim). These jeans usually have colored stripes that become visible when the leg is rolled up. There is a simple rule for the cuffs of pants and shoes: if you roll up the leg, do not wear socks. Try to wear shoes such as moccasins, topsides or loafers when doing this.

How to choose a shirt or t-shirt for summer jeans
Jeans work with most things, even those that aren't made of denim. In the summer, a tried and true method is to wear a T-shirt with jeans. This is the usual way, don't expect anything special from it. For classic denim trends, choose a tight-fitting white T-shirt and sturdy work shoes or boots. If this style was good enough for Marlon Brando, then it will be just as good for you.
Other interesting options include wearing henley and polos (these are T-shirts designed in a specific style, for more information see the article “Types of Men's T-shirts”), light-colored long-sleeved sweatshirts, and casual long- or short-sleeved shirts.

How to choose a pair of jeans in hot weather
Good. Let's say you rolled up your jeans slightly and picked up a collared shirt for the hot weather. What shoes should you choose?
Sneakers are the most popular footwear among young people. It is difficult to imagine young guys vacationing in the city in the summer, wearing other shoes than sneakers. In my opinion, white canvas classic sneakers work best. They are not expensive and are great for summer weather.

Sandals – yes, I know that many of you simply hate them. What is worth seeing a man in socks and sandals! Horror. But I believe that they allow the skin to breathe well in summer. Just make sure you have clean feet and that your nails don't look like the claws of a horror movie animal. Seriously, it is also common for men to look after their appearance. You don't have to do a salon pedicure to prove to the world your ability to take care of your nails. To help you the article “how to take care of man's nails”.

Beach slippers. If you are relaxing near a pond, then beach slippers are quite an appropriate option for shoes under summer jeans. The only thing, in my opinion, is not to wear flip-flops in the city. Firstly, it is not hygienic, since you can catch some nasty thing in the city, and secondly, from city dust (judging by Moscow and the Moscow region), legs after two or three kilometers traveled become like vagabonds or homeless people … in general, no comment.

Look for classic shoes like topsides, loafers or moccasins. In these shoes, it is quite appropriate to come to some expensive restaurant or cafe, while not losing your face in the dirt about the appearance. Just remember that if you tuck your jeans, you should not wear socks.
