How to Wear Gray Jeans: Outfits for Guys
They're grrray!
By Gabi Meyers | Last Updated: Nov 4 2019
While blue jeans are a classic, they aren’t quite right for every situation. Sometimes you need a chino. Sometimes the occasion calls for an actual trouser, and sometimes it’s that you need a jean that’s not blue. Black jeans are great, but gray jeans can be even better.
And I’m not talking about those, bedazzled on the butt monstrosities that became popular in the age of Ed Hardy. Sophisticated, un-distressed gray jeans have an elevated quality that you just can’t get with blue jeans. Consider them to be a great replacement for chinos in a casual workplace. And pssst, they work just as well out for a night on the town.
