Jeans are a staple in most men’s wardrobes, and the number one go-item guys seem to always want to throw on. I am partial to simple denim styles – nothing too baggy or tight, but rather a classic style and color with a slight bootcut bottom to give an elongated effect. What’s cool with denim? Just about anything really. Since spring-time weather can be a bit unpredictable I selected three different jacket options with accessories to make some classic stand-bys look a little more current.
Look #1: Every man should own a nice sport coat. I love the slim fit of the one featured above found at J.Crew. Instead of the same old white, blue, or striped shirt though, try a more fitted plaid shirt (TUCKED IN), a studded belt, and a cool loafer in either suede or distressed leather.
Look #2: Another must-have for men is the trench or raincoat. I love the ease and casual-ness of the khaki mac above. Add a little life to bland neutrals and denim by injecting a shocking pink sweater worn beneath, a subtly striped shirt (shown), and finish with a cool shoe like the oxford style above (That would also look fabulous with look #1).
Look #3: Not everyday is “dress-up” day. Since most men prefer to be comfy-casual on the weekends try keeping the elements away in a nylon fitted bomber jacket. Layer up with your favorite graphic tee or just a brightly hued number as shown above. Skip the everyday boring black or brown belt and instead try a perforated white one instead – Shoes? Trainers of course! Bring your whole look together with some non-athletic tennies that have a bit of style. I like the dash on green on the pair shown – perfect for spring!

Stay away from the pre-torn… that never made any sense to me? What’s the deal with buying cut up $150 jeans?!?!?! Guys look rediculous in them!
I def. own none of those three things. I am still resisting the jeans look.
