" ESQUIRE&amp;#039;S MANUAL ON THE NEW ERA OF DENIM DENIM: Ever since jeans began to appear on hippies and Nixon supporters alike in the late sixties, denim pants have become indispensable. Can you imagine the weekend without them? Of course, there has always been one notable problem: Until lately, there have been few choices available to men. Seventies bell-bottoms, eighties acid wash, and the nineties baggy-is-better mentality made the average guy look less than average, if not downright awful. Thankfully, a new wave of jeans has arrived. And they fit perfectly. From top to bottom: Cotton jeans by Levi&amp;#039;s ($138), DKNY ($58), Helmut Lang ($175), John Varvatos ($185), Paper Denim &amp;amp;amp; Cloth ($194), 7 for All Mankind ($145), Nautica ($70), Kenneth Cole ($69), Armani Jeans ($198), and CK Calvin Klein ($49).  Five Fits CLASSIC FIVE-POCKET JEANS HAVE EXPERIENCED A RENAISSANCE. A younger man, or a man who feels young, can try out a fuller cut with a tapered knee (Jean Paul Da&amp;#039;mage). The classic straight leg is still an American stalwart (Levi&amp;#039;s), and finally there&amp;#039;s a respectable denim version of painter&amp;#039;s pants (Nautica). Somewhere in between lies the easy cut, which works for the skinny and the thicker-legged (Lucky Brand), and if you&amp;#039;re feeling progressive, front seams and buttoned back pockets provide a modern look (Polo).  How to Wear Them  FOR AN AFTERNOON OF SPECTATING, you can pair jeans with other sporty elements, like these boat shoes and short-sleeved cotton-knit shirts. Cashmere sweater ($245), cotton polo shirt ($45), cotton jeans ($59), leather sneakers ($65), and nylon belt ($20) by Tommy Hilfiger.   FOR A NIGHT OUT, a nicely patterned collared shirt and black loafers add some elegance. Zip-front nylon jacket ($650), rayon-blend V-neck sweater ($285), cotton jeans ($160), leather loafers ($415), and leather belt ($95) by Ermenegildo Zegna; cotton shirt ($165), Z Zegna by Ermenegildo Zegna.   FOR A CASUAL DAY AT WORK, you won&amp;#039;t offend with a great pair of boots along with a sport coat and tie. Two-button single-breasted cotton-and-linen-blend sport coat ($198), cotton shirt ($68), silk tie ($48), cotton jeans ($78), leather ankle boots ($168), and leather belt ($38) by Banana Republic.
