Guys, you can rock jeans to Homecoming. Just follow these simple rules:
1. Pair them with a stylish button-front shirt, a preppy sweater vest, or even a tie and blazer.
2. Don't wear anything too baggy (try a straight leg or boot cut).
3. Skip the distressed details, holes, whiskering, embroidery, patches, acid wash, etc.
4. Pick a dark wash -- it looks the most polished. The only exception would be a crisp, clean, white jean, which look awesome with a white shirt, cardigan, and your favorite tie.
