What to wear with jeans men?
No one wants to give up his favorite pair of blue jeans.
But, if you want to join the world of trendy dressing, do you have to? Modern fashion says no way.
Denim has been fully accepted by fashion. Baby, it's the new millennium! Jeans have been used on the red carpet as well as in meatpacking plants.
Look no further than this quick guide to walk you through updated looks that'll keep your jeans looking sharp if you want to keep denim at the core of your wardrobe — a smart, sensible option given its durability and comfort.
The Most Important Ingredient: High-Quality Jeans
Here's how to look nice in a pair of jeans: Invest in a pair of stylish jeans. Doesn't that make sense? When you're wearing a pair of rusty old Wranglers, there's just so much you can do for them. You'll need jeans that are: to pull off a sharp look.
a dark hue, such as deep indigo or a deep blue-gray, closely tailored — not “skinny jeans” tight, but without crotch sag.
Don't be afraid to spend a little more on jeans than you normally would to find the perfect pair. When it comes to denim quality, the disparity between a $20 pair of store-brand jeans and a $50 pair from a name brand can be startling.
It's worth it to spend a little more money on a good match and a rich, dressy-looking dye. Cheap jeans can make anything you pair them with look cheap.
What's the other secret to all of these looks? Tennis shoes aren't necessary. There will be no shoes. I'm serious. If you know what you're doing and want a punk vibe, a pair of colored canvas sneakers might be appropriate. Brogues, saddle shoes, suede of all sizes, chukka boots, Dr. Martens, you name it — these looks would look best with casual leather footwear. Gym shoes are the death knell for a denim ensemble.
Denim Outfits: Classic Looks
You don't want to break so many fashion rules at once?
It turns out that the traditional ways in which men have worn jeans for decades can still work for you.
The majority of these are “casual” outfits. They aren't supposed to be used in a professional environment. Wear them around town or to fewer formal occasions such as ballgames and taverns — but don't be afraid to do so. They'll look better than any fancier outfits if done correctly.
T-shirt and jeans
“Jerseys and a T-shirt” is slang for “sloppy dressing” in a lot of fashion literature.
That is a bit of a disservice. When Marlon Brando and James Dean wore dark jeans and simple white T-shirts in Hollywood films, they became instant style icons and heartthrobs.
If you choose your shirts and accents carefully, you will achieve the same classic look. A plain-colored T-shirt with a close fit (no graphics or logos), a sturdy-looking belt, and some leather work shoes or work boots are everything you'll need.
You're no longer classic as soon as you add gym shoes or T-shirts with bold graphics to the mix. The appearance has been destroyed. A baggy shirt is the same way.
Jeans and a Shirt for Work
Instead of a T-shirt, opt for a long- or short-sleeved work shirt with a soft, turndown collar and a front-buttoning placket.
This is a timeless workwear look that often works well in social situations. Only stay away from the rookie blunders: nothing in a blue that's too similar to your jeans' color and nothing with a business logo or (worse) one of those rectangular name patches with the cursive script on them.
The aim is to appear rugged and defiant, rather than grease monkey-like. For maximum devil-may-care effect, leave the shirt untucked.
