Abercrombie and Fitch’s New Denim Line Will Be Your New Favorite Jeans, Seriously

By

Abercrombie & Fitch is upgrading its denim — in a big way — and they might just be making your new favorite jeans now. Seriously. The brand’s recent jean relaunch offers up streamlined fits, excellent washes and careful attention to detail, all hallmarks of the new Abercrombie & Fitch. Led in part by head of design Aaron Levine, the resulting denim options are sleek, stylish easy to wear and easy to buy — it’s not too good to be true, trust us.

Notably, it’s the first upgrade to the denim line in 15 years — an eternity in the fashion world — and the brand’s new jeans reflect modern styling potential, minimal branding and no ornate back pocket stitching. That makes Abercrombie & Fitch denim a uniquely versatile, crisp option fit for business casual styling alongside a navy cotton blazer — or at an edgy rock concert with a black moto jacket.

Fit plays a big role in Abercrombie & Fitch denim, too. The brand’s denim offering is roaring back with four fits: The super-skinny Felix fit, the slim Langdon fit, the athletic slim Ruston fit, and the straight leg Kennan fit, available in offerings ranging from faded dark blue to clean, sleek black. We’re fans of the Langdon fit in particular. The Langdon fit is also available in a range of perfectly faded chinos, yet we most appreciate the classic-yet-modern silhouette that should team perfectly with essentials for the summer and beyond.

The Langdon Coolmax specifically features a wash that’s just right — slightly faded but not overly distressed — with a blend of cotton, polyester and elastane that should provide comfort, sleek style and mobility even in the heat. The brand says the new offering reflects “supreme style without compromising value,” and it’s tough to disagree. Men’s denim options from Abercrombie & Fitch will set you back as little as $39 — yes, that’s right. Just $39.

And if you’re a menswear traditionalist, fear not — A&F even makes a dark wash selvedge jean in a reliable straight fit, with a hint of stretch for good measure. Those jeans come with a button-fly closure for yet another classic touch — if it were us, it’d be mighty tough to pass up jeans made with those sorts of dependable design details.

It’s with plenty of reliable, crisp and classic options in mind that Abercrombie & Fitch undertook this relaunch — and we’re big fans. If you’re looking for your new favorite jeans to wear with everything from a slim-fit polo to a classic chambray shirt or a rugged pocket tee, we think we’ve found ’em. And given those prices? You’ve certainly got the flexibility to pick up more than a pair or two.

The Internet Killed Expertise and Then Made It Cool Again
How the Internet Killed Expertise, Made It Worthless, and Then Made It Cool Again
Watchmaker's workshop. Mechanical watch repair.

We’ve gone through a little period that I like to call the “Dark Ages of Knowing Things,” when the internet had an entire generation of men convinced they no longer needed experts. Why would they? Everything was available at the drop of a hat, and with one Google search, you could have the world at your fingertips. There were deep-dive forum threads written by a retired Swiss watchmaker in Neuchâtel who had seen 40 years of studying the serif on a Rolex dial (probably, but I can’t actually verify that.) It was all there, free for the taking, and unfortunately, completely indistinguishable from a guy who just bought his first watch 6 weeks beforehand and was already writing a buying guide. 

For a while at least, it felt like the walls were coming down, and in some ways, they were. The gatekeepers no longer had their gates, which meant that a kid from Doncaster could learn to identify a fake Submariner faster than a back-alley dealer who had been in the business for 20 years if he simply spent enough nights casually perusing Reddit threads. Knowledge, we were told, should be free. Of course, nobody mentioned that free knowledge and good knowledge are not the same thing.

The Best Men’s Style Picks for FIFA World Cup 2026: What to Wear from Takeoff to Kickoff
Style, shirt

FIFA 2026 provides a global amphitheater for sport, people, and culture to converge. Not only do the world’s best football players compete for the crown, but devoted fans have opportunities for travel and spectacle, visiting new places while cheering on their national team. It’s a true celebration.

And when participating in a once-in-a-lifetime event, it makes sense to dress your best, not only to look good, but to express yourself and support your team. With that in mind, I put together my favorites for each step of the World Cup journey — travel day, match day, and nights on the town.

Christopher Nolan and Hamilton made a bronze watch fit for The Odyssey
Hamilton and Christopher Nolan team up again, with a bronze field watch for timed for the debut of The Odyssey.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Here's a first for a company that's spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That's the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton's latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).

Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it's pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch's 42mm case is bronze (it'll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus's helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o'clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan's signature.
