Baseball cards, red wine, and blue jeans all get better with time (provided you find the right pair of jeans). I have but one rule of thumb when it comes to blues. Buy something that you can actually sprint in without looking like we’ve caught you answering your phone mid-dump. Trust, most women like to see what your ass looks like in the jeans. You’re not helping that much if you’re one of those men with their “pants on the ground.” These days I rock a dark wash. It’s a versatile look and the color holds up over a number of years.
Though it truly is a question of personal taste, I find garish over-sized fancy back pockets compliment no one. Keep it simple peacock. Go basic. Go classic and you won’t go wrong. Also, do not fold the cuffs (unless you’re a in a Vespa gang) and go with a basic leather belt. Anything beyond this is flair and costume. You come off looking like an insecure douche playing dress-up. I alternate between my Mined Rd’s – a soft but durable Swedish brand (they’ll set you back about $100 at Barney’s Co-op) and a pair of straight leg beaters from Old Navy that just won’t quit. Jeans, find the right pair and it’s one less thing to worry about.
