Moreover, there are so many varieties of jeans to choose from. But choose dark color jeans in comparison to lighter ones as they look more like dress pants.  Also, avoid jeans that have holes, stickers, messy, and look skinny. Either go for wide-leg trousers or boot-cut jeans to get a professional feel.
