Men's jeans range from slim to loose, including straight, regular and tapered cuts, in raw, washed or black denim.
A dark raw jean in a straight cut, like the Nudie Jeans Steady Eddie II, can be worn from the office to the weekend; a washed Lee jean or loose fit is saved for casual outfits.
The Nudie Jeans, from the Swedish denim brand, lead the selection: Lean Dean slim and tapered, Steady Eddie II regular and tapered, Gritty Jackson regular straight leg, Rad Rufus regular straight and Tuff Tony in loose fit, including the Grim Tim jeans and Solid Ollie. The Dry version, in raw denim, develops a patina over time.
The slim fit follows the leg without being tight and pairs well with slim trainers; the regular, straight or tapered, offers room for the thighs and suits most body shapes; the loose fit, roomy from top to bottom, is worn with chunky trainers. The men's slim jeans elongate a slender silhouette, while straight jeans balance broad shoulders.
The Lee Luke slim tapered jeans from the American brand, the G-Star 3301 regular tapered jeans from the Dutch brand based in Amsterdam, the Wrangler jeans, another American brand, and the Jack & Jones Glenn and Chris jeans from the Danish brand complete the men's branded jeans.
The men's black jeans, such as the Steady Eddie II Dry Black Selvage or the Rad Rufus Black Vintage, can be dressed up easily with a shirt or a jumper; the light wash jeans, like the Gritty Jackson Day Dreamer, are kept for casual outfits and sunny days.
A slender silhouette benefits from wearing slim or tapered fits, while a stronger build suits a regular straight that falls without clinging. Wide hips balance with straight legs, and short legs look best in jeans with hems just at the shoe. The men's jeans fit should be assessed while standing and sitting.
Jeans also include women's styles, and men's trousers offer chinos, work trousers and corduroy pants: the chino replaces jeans for a smarter look.
Raw denim, without factory washing, starts off stiff and shapes to the body over time; the creases of the hips and knees become marked, which gives it character. Selvedge, woven on a narrow loom, is identified by its visible edge when the hem is rolled up, as seen on the Steady Eddie II Dry Black Selvage. A selvedge jean is rarely washed, and should be turned inside out and washed cold.
The men's white jeans are worn in summer with a blue linen shirt or a navy polo. Light blue faded jeans give a relaxed vibe with a grey sweatshirt and trainers. The men's cargo jeans add pockets on the thighs, sitting between jeans and work trousers. Ripped jeans are paired with a simple t-shirt to keep the outfit understated.
Cheap men's jeans can be found in the men's clearance, and the new jeans showcase the season’s cuts. At the end of November, the Black Friday jeans drops the prices of Nudie Jeans, Lee, or G-Star. Fast shipping and best price guaranteed.
The W stands for waist size, and the L for inseam length, in inches: compare it with a pair of jeans that fit well. A raw jean without elastane should fit snugly, as it will stretch slightly with wear: the W size should be chosen fitted.
With an Oxford shirt, a jumper, or a white t-shirt, and leather trainers or ankle boots. The hem should be rolled up once or twice to show the ankle: the cuff is part of the style.
As infrequently as possible to maintain the colour: air them out between wears and wash inside out, cold, alone for the first washes. The raw jean tends to bleed initially.
Slim fits suit slender figures and tailored looks, while regular fits work well for stronger builds and casual outfits. If in doubt, a tapered regular jean, like the Steady Eddie II, strikes a balance.
Low leather trainers, Chelsea boots, or derby shoes for straight jeans; chunky trainers for loose jeans. The hem falls just on the shoe, without bunching: the jean length should be adjusted based on the shoes worn.
