STYLE – The Perfect Pair Of Jeans For Men

Ok, so perhaps our title was a little misleading. Sadly, gentlemen, we have not found an elusive pair of jeans that suit every man alike. Tight in the right places, loose at the best points, with the perfect number of pockets – not too Harry Styles skinny, or too 90s skater-boy baggy. No, sadly these jeans do not yet exist – at least not to our knowledge. (If you have information, please let us know). In any case, we bring you 5 of our favourite pairs. From Marlon Brando to James Dean, jeans are one item of clothing that will never go out of style. Despite their longevity, they still retain a hint of their rebellious past, drenched in cool-factor and simply begging for a plain white tee, biker jacket and, of course, a motorbike. Even if you only choose one pair this season, make sure it’s one of these…

TOMMY HILFIGER, , As a lifestyle brand, Tommy Hilfiger is up there with Mr Lauren and Mr Kors in the fame stakes, however still manages to stick to a somewhat more friendly price tag. We’ve long been fans of their denim, and the subtle branding is recognisable the world over. These Ryan jeans have a great regular fit, straight leg and a regular rise – perfect for the man who wants jeans simple and well-fitting. If you’re a traditionally dressed man looking for the perfect pair of jeans then look no further – you’ve met your match.

NUDIE JEANS,

Nudie know their jeans. Simple as that. They’re not content with following the latest fashions and fads, but rather stay true to their original passion for “the traditions of denim and the characteristics of the fabric itself”. So if it’s straight-forward, classic and quality jeans then look no further. These white ones are made in Italy from 98% organic cotton. Team yours with loose breton stripes for the perfect summer style.

J CREW,

These jeans from uber-cool brand J Crew are their slimmest fit yet, ideal for men who like their denim slim, but not skinny. Made from genuine raw indigo selvedge cotton, the fabric is woven at one of Japan’s oldest and most renowned mills. They’ll age with you, so the more you wear them, the more attitude and character that they will imbue.

BURBERRY,

There are few things in a man’s closet more versatile than a good pair of black jeans and the Swaine jean from Burberry is no exception. With a regular-rise, tapered fit design they have a relaxed style, but can easily work for more formal events when paired with a shirt and blazer.

£150 from uk.burberry.com

GUCCI ,

These Italian-made lightweight denim jeans are the perfect way to begin your off-duty weekend look this summer. The washed fabric makes for a perfectly pre-worn look, so you don’t even have to wear them in. The slim fit style is always a flattering choice, and with just the right amount of stretch in them they’re as comfy as they are cool.
