THE FALL STYLE ISSUE: THE DARK DENIM JEANS


isten, no one should need to tell you to own at least one quality pair of dark jeans. But we’ll admit that a gent could be forgiven for balking at a pair that retails for just shy of 200 dollars. That’s fair.

Our argument in favor, however: if you amortize that cost over their lifespan and likely wear frequency, you’re looking at mere pennies every time you put ‘em on.

And a pair like these handsome selvedge devils from A.P.C. are built to last and look better on their 300th wear than they do on their first — they’re often re-sold once broken in for more than their original price.

A little bit of convenient logic? Maybe. But are we sticking to it? Hell yes we are.

Autumnal kicking around in style made simple: grab a henley and your favorite bomber. Throw some clean, modish sneakers down low. Some strong sunnies up top. Repeat.

Another cool thing about denim in a dark indigo rinse is that it pairs with black just as well as it does brown. A glossy black boot in particular. Add a slight pop of color up top and you’re off to the races.
