That kinowear site was alright, but it was pretty complex.
Some basics:
========
*Make sure its YOU (already been said).
*If you wear something flashy, make sure you back it up with a social personality. (Got this from the kinowear article, thanks fresh to death).
*Don't think "Oooh I'll be matching if I wear all black." I've made this mistake before. Theres nothing "bad" looking about wearing all black per se (minus the emo connections if you have hair that can be misconstrued as emo), but it just doesn't look good.
-If you wear a black or dark colored top, wear lighter colored blue jeans.
Some Lost And Confused tips for buying jeans:
============================
*I suggest you buy jeans at the stores themselves, not online. Its okay to buy shirts and hoodies and other stuff online, but with jeans, you can never be sure. I thought I bought a pair of black jeans the other day that had a decoration on the back pockets, but it turned out they were dark dark indigo...and the denim was messed up which leads me to my next point...
*Denim. It wears out. So heres a couple of tips.
-Maybe let your jeans air dry, just hang them up. Don't put them in a dark closet though because it will get mildew.
-Don't always wash your jeans with every wear. Maybe once every other wear or once every three wears. Yeah, I know it sounds nasty, but every time you wash a pair of jeans, you wear them out. So when you do wear your jeans, make sure you don't get them dirty, and don't do anything athletic in them to soil them with sweat.
-Some REALLY tough denim can't be ironed. So when you wash those the first couple of times you can't put them in a dryer, because they will get wrinkled and you'll be S.O.L until the denim wears out a little.
*Good jeans cost expensive. Sorry, but its true. If you buy cheap jeans, go for a solid color. Don't get cheap jeans that have the white lining, because most likely it wasn't done right and it will start to look *really* lame after washing it a couple times.
-You may be better off buying three pairs of pretty expensive jeans (100 dollars and up) then buying 6+ 30-80 dollar jeans.
-With that same point, get a ton of different shirts. You want to be spending just as much, if not more, on shirts and tops as you do with jeans and other bottoms. You really want more variety with shirts than you do with jeans. People don't mind/notice when you wear the same jeans multiple times in a week as much as they notice the same shirt.
*Lastly, and almost most importantly, make sure the jeans are *you*. Go to that drjays.com site that fresh to death posted. They have a ton of brands there. I've bought clothes from them before. Also try:

-Make sure your jeans are the same style as your top. Baggy fit jeans = wear a top that fits the same style
-Don't wear baggy clothing if it doesn't fit you.
-If you do get baggy jeans, many of them have decorations on the back pocket. If you sag, make sure you only sag to where your top isn't covering the back pockets. Any more and you'll look lame.
-Some Jeans are tight fitting. Wear them only if you feel they are "you."
-Ask a salesperson at the store of your choice what jean fit fits you. I highly suggest you make sure the salesperson looks like you. That way, if they are really meaning to be helpful, they can notice the similarity too and pick out something for you that they like and looks great on you.
*Rock out the blazer + jeans look! Makes you look well dressed yet casual. You can pull this look off even though your 14.
