Off white denim VS Workwear-inspired jeans

Speaking of white, that might be the shade worth investing in when it comes to your next denim garment. While blue will Denim Trousers for Men always have a place in our wardrobe, and black is as versatile as it gets, off-white denim is criminally overlooked. It might not be as practical, and will undoubtedly need washing more regularly than its darker counterparts, but off-white jeans are surprisingly easy to style and complement a wide range of colours.

If you can secure a pair of off-white jeans in a lightweight denim, they may just become your favourite spring/summer trouser, as they’ll combine well with T-shirts, polos and lightweight jackets as well as sneakers, loafers and even espadrilles.

Forget the Labor Day trope, off-white denim can be worn in fall and winter too, as the shade works equally well with darker tones of grey, bottle green, navy and even black. Essentially, wear them in the same way you would a pair of indigo or black jeans; just be careful at that fancy dinner reservation.

Workwear-inspired jeans
Workwear has dominated every inch of menswear over the past few years. Yet denim jeans have largely been unaffected by this movement, even though their roots are in hands-on professions like mining and factory work.

But now, the classic five-pocket design has been uprooted somewhat, with new silhouettes threatening to take its crown. First, there’s denim carpenter pants – complete with their side loops, thigh pockets and relaxed silhouettes – arguably the more refined, easier-to-wear cousin of cargo pants. Then there’s the classic work-style denim fatigue pant with its wide legs and large front stitched pockets, which work just as well with leather boots as they do white sneakers.

The workwear trend doesn’t stop at your lower half though. Functional, utilitarian jackets crafted from denim have never been more popular. Take a stroll in your local town and you’ll likely find everything from minimal takes on trucker jackets to chore and field jackets which have been given the indigo treatment. Workwear has never been bigger, and denim is an essential part of that.

You could even go the double denim route with a workwear-inspired top and bottom half (just be sure to mix up the shades). If you’re new to double denim, try combining a blue pair of stonewashed jeans with an off-white denim jacket and you can’t go wrong.
