Let's talk about denim jeans.

Specifically, how many pairs you need and in which washes.

But before we get into that let's cover fit.

There is a healthy range that is considered acceptable:

I recommend most guys go for either a straight or slim fit with a tapered leg opening.

The tapered leg opening makes a BIG difference.

Gives your legs shape and dimension.

Even on bigger guys, a slimmer fitting jean with a tapered leg is more flattering:

What about a skinny fit on muscular guys?

Is that kosher?

Can be. Really comes down to the look you're going for.

Now, if you were to get just ONE pair of jeans I recommend a pair in dark denim.

They are the easiest to dress up or wear casually.

Ideally you want an option with no distressing at all like a raw denim jean (what you see on the left):

These jeans are from Mott & Bow: bit.ly/31xWpQg

If you want another option in addition to the dark denim I recommend a nice lighter wash jean that you can wear casually and during the warmer months of the year:

Once again, worth looking for a more even, uniform wash - a little bit of distressing is okay.

Another good second option here is a classic medium blue jean.

Perfect to wear these guys year round.

They will have a bit of distressing and that's okay.

These Mosco jeans are from Mott & Bow as well: bit.ly/2Wkr7IV one of their original best sellers.

These three jeans would be my main options.

But if you want to branch out there are a couple more worth considering.

First, the grey denim jean:

You can find these in various shades of grey ranging from dark to light. I like them mostly for fall/winter looks but a nice lighter grey jean could work well for the spring/summer season too.

And they are surprisingly versatile too. Tons of different ways you can wear them:

Next, black denim jeans.

These are great for pulling off those saucy all black looks:

You can also get these in a "washed black" look as well...but they end up coming close to being dark grey jeans.

In a nutshell this is what I recomend:

1. Dark denim
2. Light wash jeans (medium blue or a true light wash)
3. Grey denim jeans (dark or light)
4. Black jeans

There are other options out there (e.g. white denim) but overall most guys don't need to deviate much from this list.
