$210 at Need Supply Co. Buy Everlane Straight Leg Indigo Jean “My friends swear by Everlane denim,” says Tim Melidio, the writer behind menswear site Stay Classic. Everlane also uses Japanese denim, but with Everlane “the price is right.” The denim is woven with two-percent elastane to add some stretch.
$198 at Agave Denim Buy Best skinny jeans for men Levi’s 510 Skinny Fit Jeans $49 Alex Simons, a brand and editorial manager at Netflix, was a self-proclaimed “fancy-jeans guy for years.” As he explains, “I wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs black jeans forever. Then, right before a business trip, they ripped so I rushed into Levi’s and found the 510s and have never looked back.
$185 at SSENSE Buy Mott & Bow Wooster Skinny Fit Jeans For a skinny fit, Tim Melideo is a fan of this jean from Mott & Bow. He says it has “a bit more stretch than the Levi’s 511,” which he appreciates. Plus, he says, “you’re supporting a good company that does things ethically.” $260 at SSENSE Buy Best loose jeans for men Universal Works Workshop Denim Regular Fit Jeans Drinkwater says this pair from English workwear-inspired brand Universal Works is his “go-to jean” at the moment. “I’m really loving this fuller fit in a jean,” he says. Drinkwater “got tired of tight-fitting jeans” and wanted something more comfortable. “We’re starting to see a reverse in this trend of slim to a little fuller. Pleated trousers, shirts not fitting as snug to the body.
$50 at Macy's Buy Rag & Bone Fit 2 Slim Fit Jeans Thomas’s ideal jean fit: “slim, tapered from the knee, but not too tight on the sides and top.” He likes the Rag and Bone Type 2 Fit; it’s right in the middle of their skinny-fit Type 3 and their straight-leg Type 1. These have a small amount of stretch which he also likes. “It’s nice to have something that moves with you.” He recommends wearing them cropped or rolled up if you’re going sockless.
