How to choose and wear jeans

Straight or slim-cut denim is the most worn bottom in most wardrobes. Dark, even washes read smart enough for dinner; lighter washes and wear read weekend.

How to choose

  • Raw or dark indigo is the most versatile wash; black is the second pair, light blue the third.
  • Heavier denim (12 oz and up) keeps its shape; very stretchy denim bags at the knee within weeks.
  • Skip rips and heavy fading if you want one pair to do everything.

How jeans should fit

Slim-straight is the safe middle: close through the thigh without pulling, straight from the knee down.

Common mistakes

  • Double denim in the same wash: it reads as a uniform.
  • Distressed jeans with tailoring you want to look sharp.
  • Stacked, pooling hems over low shoes.

Care: Wash rarely, inside out and cold, to keep the colour; never tumble dry dark denim.

In a capsule: Earns its place because everything casual in a capsule goes with dark denim, from tees to blazers.

The details

Length, belt, socks and fabric

What makes the colours above look deliberate.

Length
A slight break over boots; a cuffed or cropped hem with sneakers and loafers.
Belt
Match the belt to your shoes: a brown belt with brown leather shoes. With sneakers, any neutral belt works.
Socks
Socks in white (or close) extend the line of the leg; no-show socks with loafers or sneakers in summer.
Fabric
The same white in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.
