Grey Jeans

Grey Jeans

Grey jeans are the understated alternative to black jeans that not enough men consider seriously and that's a missed opportunity because they offer something slightly different. Where black jeans push toward smart grey jeans stay more clearly in casual territory but do so in a way that feels more considered than straight indigo denim. They work particularly well with the kinds of neutral and earthy toned outfits that are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in casual menswear right now. With an off white or cream knit and simple leather footwear a grey jean creates a tonal outfit that looks very deliberate with almost no effort. The shade of grey matters. A mid grey is the most versatile. A very light grey is harder to keep looking clean. A very dark grey starts to approach the black jean territory and loses the specific quality that makes grey jeans interesting as a separate option.
