Boys in Denim: The Hottest Trend of the Season

Denim has been among the most popular clothing materials since centuries, and it’s still holding strong. It’s been around since the 1800s, and even though it hasn’t changed much over the years, it continues to be one of the most widely used clothing materials out there. In fact, if you look at high-end fashion today, you will find that denim is almost always present in some form or the other, whether in jackets or dresses or shirts.

1) Denim Shirt

 

A denim shirt is a must-have for any trendy boy this season. You can find them in any color you can imagine, but blue is always a classic. Pair it with some distressed jeans and cool sneakers for a handsome look that will turn heads. If you want to get really designer, look for a denim shirt with unique details like embroidery or patchwork. For an edgier style, try wearing your denim shirt backwards or unbuttoned over a T-shirt. Layer on a knitted sweater and ripped skinny jeans to complete the look. As with all outfits, make sure everything fits properly. Denim shirts are especially hard to tailor if they don’t fit well when they’re new so be sure to buy one that’s just right.
If you already have a denim shirt, try wearing it with black jeans. Black jeans are incredibly popular right now and look especially good when paired with a denim shirt. Although you don’t want to wear too much black, it’s an easy way to accentuate your favorite wardrobe item. If your style is more classic, try adding khaki pants or chinos into your outfit instead. Another great option is dark wash jeans; they look dressier than distressed or light-wash jeans and are flattering for almost every body type. Add some lace-up oxfords for a preppy touch.

2) Blue Denim Jean

There’s something about blue denim jeans that just oozes cool. Maybe it’s the fact that they’ve been around for decades and have been worn by some of the most iconic figures in history. Or maybe it’s because they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure: blue denim jeans are here to stay.
Not all blue denim jeans are created equal, though. If you want to score major style points, then you need to know what’s in and what’s out when it comes to how denim is dyed. To start with, stick with dark wash or raw jeans instead of lighter ones; they’ll give you a sleeker silhouette while also making your legs look longer. Next, make sure your jeans aren’t too tight.
You should also focus on picking out a great pair of blue denim jeans with a perfect fit. And while we know it can be difficult to find a pair that doesn’t dig into your waist or sag at your ankles, there are ways to ensure you get just what you want. Start by trying on multiple pairs and comparing how they feel. For example, if one fits snugly but isn’t too tight, then try another without giving up just yet. Or if one has extra fabric around your ankle that makes it look sloppy, then keep looking until you find ones that fit right up to your leg without restricting movement.

3) Cuffed Jeans in the City

There’s something about cuffed jeans that just screams city boy. Maybe it’s the way they show off your shoes, or the fact that they look a little bit more dressed up than regular jeans.
If you haven’t tried cuffed jeans yet, now is a great time to give them a go. A pair can really inject some class into your wardrobe and let you look effortlessly cool. But if you’re worried about looking like it’s your first day at school, here are a few tips on how to wear them properly.
To start with, pay attention to length. If you have long legs, cuffed jeans can be a great way to add height; conversely, if your legs are short they might make them look shorter still. Stick with around an inch and never cuff too much off as that looks sloppy—not classy.

4) Dark Wash for Going Out

A dark wash denim is perfect for a night out on the town. It looks polished and put-together, but still has a touch of edge. To style this look, pair your dark wash jeans with a button-down shirt and loafers. Add a leather jacket for an extra dose of cool. For a more preppy vibe, wear your dark wash jeans with a cardigan and boat shoes.
It’s not only dark washes that are ideal for going out. A medium wash is also a great option, especially if you want to get creative with your outfit. You can wear your medium wash jeans with an untucked button-down shirt and sneakers for a casual look or dress them up with a crisp button-down shirt and loafers for something more formal. For those who like vintage styles, try pairing your denim with chunky shoes, suspenders and maybe even a fedora for a throwback look that’s sure to get you noticed.

5) Tailored Trouser + Denim Shirt Outfit

This season, one of the hottest trends for boys is denim on denim. To get this look, start with a pair of tailored trousers in a dark wash. Then, add a denim shirt. For an extra touch of style, roll up the sleeves and leave the top few buttons undone. Finish the outfit with a pair of loafers or sneakers.
To complete your denim on denim look, opt for a white or blue button-down shirt. To keep things stylish, wear it unbuttoned with a few top buttons undone. For an even more casual touch, roll up your sleeves and leave a few buttons undone at the top. Accessorize with simple jewelry to add a subtle touch of style to your outfit. Then, complete your look with a pair of loafers or sneakers. If you’re trying to keep warm, try wearing some knit gloves as well.
If you’re not a fan of button-down shirts, then wear a pullover shirt with your denim outfit. A white or blue one will match perfectly with a pair of dark wash trousers. To complete your look, wear some loafers or sneakers to keep warm and cozy. You can also add some sunglasses if you want to complete your look. Just make sure that they’re dark enough to complement your ensemble without clashing with it.

6) Navy Denim Shirt + Tan Chinos

It’s no secret that denim is one of the most versatile and easy-to-wear materials around. Pair a navy denim shirt with tan chinos for a preppy yet relaxed vibe. Add a pop of color with a pair of red sneakers or a patterned scarf. For an extra touch, roll up the sleeves of the shirt and push them up to your elbows.
As one of the most popular materials for denim, navy blue goes with almost anything. You can wear a navy denim shirt with black chinos or tan ones—both look great when paired together. With a palette consisting of so many different shades, it’s easy to add your own personal touch and turn an ordinary outfit into something special. For example, opt for a pair of red sneakers to liven up your look and set yourself apart from everyone else.

7) Summer White Pants + Light Blue Denim Shirt

Another easy way to style a denim shirt is by wearing it with summer white pants and sneakers. This is also a great option for hot days but requires more effort to look pulled-together. We like to wear light blue jeans with dark brown or black sneakers—you can see an example above from our Casual Friday series ( click here to check it out). A word of caution, though: make sure your dark brown or black shoes aren’t too flashy; you want them to be neutral so they don’t steal attention away from your shirt and pants.
One of our favorite ways to style denim is by pairing it with a light blue denim shirt. The contrast between the two pieces is really eye-catching and creates a look that is both effortless and put-together. Plus, it’s the perfect outfit for those hot summer days when you want to look good but also feel comfortable.
