“This fit looks great with Chelsea boots,” suggests Gilfillan. “Or, for something more casual, try trainers with a fairly slim sole, like Converse or Vans.”

If you opt to go down the Chelsea boot route, we’d recommend pairing grey or black denim with black leather footwear. Throw on a white tee for contrast and then tie things together in true rockstar fashion with the addition of a leather biker jacket.

Slim-Fit Jeans

The gift that keeps on giving. There are only a handful of fits that seem to remain stylish season after season, year after year, and this is one of them. The gift that keeps on giving.

Slim-fit jeans have the benefit of complementing a wide range of body types and outfit choices. They work on lazy T-shirt days and also ground more complicated looks that involve layering or tailored pieces. Men’s luxury personal shopping guru Daniel Johnson has only one caveat.

“Slim-fit jeans are versatile but perhaps not the first choice if you happen to be carrying a little extra weight on your thighs or have a larger stomach,” he says.

Generally speaking, though, whether you’re more like Jeff Goldblum or Kevin Hart in the height department, a pair of slim jeans will see you right.

What To Wear With Slim Jeans

To repeat, one of slim-fit denim’s major draws is its versatility. This is a cut you can easily incorporate into anything from a smart-casual get-up for a job interview to something more laid-back for hitting a bar come Saturday night.

“Footwear wise, brogues, lace-ups or loafers are a good option for smart casual,” suggests Johnson. “Just steer clear of bulky boots, which can look out of place.”

To keep things strictly casual, raw denim and white canvas high-tops will always be a match made in style heaven. Team them up with a patterned T-shirt to add a focal point and then slip into an overshirt or light jacket to keep the chill at bay in style.
