Boot Cut Versus Low Rise Boot Cut Jeans

Today when I was shopping at an American Eagle Outfitters store I investigated and found out the differences between regular boot cut jeans and low rise boot cut jeans.

Regular boot cut jeans have wider bottoms (referred to as the "bootcut leg") than straight jeans but less wide than flare-leg jeans. This feature makes boot cut jeans stylish and popular.

Low rise boot cut jeans have bootcut leg just like regular boot cut jeans, but they sit low on waist and they are straight through thigh. This makes low rise boot cut jeans appear lower on your waist and therefore more fashionable. Another distinction is that low rise boot cut jeans have NARROWER thighs and therefore they fit BETTER. In fact I compared a pair of regular boot cut jeans to a pair of low rise boot jeans and the latter has half an inch narrower thighs Now you can see why I like low rise boot jeans so much.

American Eagle Outfitters have great selections on low rise boot cut jeans.

So my verdict is that I prefer low rise boot cut jeans to regular ones.

How To Find Cheap Men's Clothes

How do you find discount clothing for men?

There are several ways to get cheap men's garments regardless of how fashionable they are:

• Look at the clearance section first. Almost all men's fashion stores such as Hollister, G By Guess, American Eagle Outfitters, Club Monaco have clearance sections. I've found so many stylish garments there at such bargain price that this tip tops the list of finding discount clothes for men.
  
  
• If you are buying online, google "*store* coupon" and see if there's any coupon you can use at the checkout page. For example if you are shopping at G By Guess website then google "g by guess coupon".
  
  
• Sign up for stores' mailing list or newsletter: They often email you when there are sales events and coupons you can print out and use either online or at a store. Express Men is a case in point. I remember once for purchases of over $50, they offered $25 discount to be used next time for purchases of over $50. G By Guess also has something like that. They'd email you that on a particular day every item is 30% off, and all you have to do is show up on that day and start the shopping spree! However do not buy something you don't really want just to get the discount. And do NOT buy something just to pad the expense to reach the threshold eligible for some discount (e.g. $30 off every $75 purchase). Opportunities like this happen ALL THE TIME. Just wait until the next one
  
  
• Whenever you are checking out at the counter ask the clerk whether they have store credit card or store card that you can sign up for to get some benefit. G By Guess is an example. They have the PULSE program where you get $10 award for every $150 you spend. Most of them will bring up proactively if such offer exists but some won't. So just ask!
  
  
• Shop at outlet stores and off-price department stores. Such stores include Ross, Marshalls, and even Target. Ross is my favorite store in this category. You can often find quality and name brand garments at a bargain price.

Long Sleeve T-Shirt Versus Sweatshirt

Today while blogging I got confused about whether to call this garment "long sleeve t-shirt" or "sweatshirt". According to dictionary.com, a sweatshirt is

"a loose, long-sleeved, collarless pullover of soft, absorbent fabric, as cotton jersey, with close-fitting or elastic cuffs and sometimes a drawstring at the waist, commonly worn during athletic activity for warmth or to induce sweating."

This sounds very broad and hard to understand with no pictures. So I did some Google image searches and came to the following conclusion. If the pullover has ribbed waist then it's called a sweatshirt; otherwise it is a long sleeve t-shirt.
