Bruce Pask**, Men's Fashion Director **at Bergdorf Goodman

Who makes them:

These are the Ami Slim 5 pocket jean.

**How long have you had them: **

Got them in June in Paris and they have supplanted all my others as my jean of choice.

**Where did you find them: **

I am a big fan of the Ami brand (we carry it on 3 at Goodman's) so I went to check out their new store on the rue de Grenelle in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. I saw these navy over-dyed jeans and since navy and charcoal make up pretty much my entire palette of clothing they seemed quite perfect for me.

Worst pair of jeans you've owned:

I don't think I've ever worn a pair of jeans that I didn't absolutely love at the time, but the ever-shifting tides of fashion have certainly changed my eye and my perception of a few pairs I've worn in the (distant) past. Some were certainly more successful than others.

**Pro tip: **

Denim departments can be very daunting, with an overwhelming array of options. First find a knowledgeable sales associate to work with (we have some great experts at Goodman's and a recently expanded denim area) and decide what fit best suits you. Do you want a more retro-feeling straight leg, a slimmer tapered cut, a skinny jean? Once the fit is chosen, it's time to move on to finish: do you prefer rigid unwashed denim, a more worn in/distressed look, or just lightly washed? Then try on the size you think you are, and then one larger and one smaller for comparison. It will help you hone in on the exact perfect fit.
