would like some peoples recommendations on brands/styles of denim

i really dig the fit here not sure about how to go about replicating it on my body.

Fiberops Shityeah Vintage Indigo

I'm 5'8 about 150lb
waist measured is between 33" and 34" (measured around where it bends when i lean to the side)

thighs measure about 21"

im going from wearing pretty damn baggy denim to fitter stuff so help me along if you can. basically want something that will give me a more fitter and grown appearance without going slim/tight to the point where my thighs are drawing more attention. smaller leg openings to fit better over my kicks.

thanks in advance for any input

Seven for All Mankind make some denims that fit like that. Not 100% sure but it's either that, or True Religions jeans.

Do a little research yourself but if you asked me, I personally am a big fan of True Religion jeans.

Don't listen to skool6. He actually has knowledge on denim, but he's being sarcastic.

Those look like straight fit. I have almost the same measurements as you, and I fit well in Levis 514 (slim fit).

Go to a Levi's store and try them on. See what you like.
