Ultimate denim guide: How to wear jeans based on style and wash in 2024
Find the right jeans for you
What is that saying? A dog is a man's best friend? We're pretty sure that saying had to have happened before the gold rush and the invention of the jeans. Because a good pair of jeans is, without a doubt, a man's best friend. They can be bum-around-the-house wear. They can be dressed up for the first date. Dark, light, colored, faded, slim, straight, you name it, and there is a pair of jeans for it.
Every guy has that go-to pair of jeans at some point in his life, but there is an entire world out there that they could be leaving behind, and we want to talk about it. Here, we get the chance. We're going to dive into the different denim styles and washes of men's jeans to familiarize you with. Then ... maybe go walk the dog ... we don't want him thinking he isn't your best friend anymore.
Dark wash
Whether you're just starting out and are looking for your first suit, or you have been wearing suits for a long time and are looking to overhaul your wardrobe, there is a little apprehension about diving into shopping for a new suit. You could be buying a suit for a special event, or you may wear a suit every day and need to replace some that have gotten older and are on their last leg. Either way, the market has likely changed, or you may not know what to expect in the suit world. So, we're going to jump in and help you figure out what you should be paying. You may be asking yourself a simple question like, "How much are men's suits?" Unfortunately, the answer is far from simple.
But, no fear, we here at The Manual specialize in complicated answers. So here is a breakdown on what you should expect when you head to a shop or go online (we suggest the former if you are new to the process).

All Terrain Gear for the cold outdoorsman
There is a sweet spot for the outdoors. While the most dedicated of outdoorsmen will venture out into the wild unknown at virtually anytime rain or shine, completely unbothered by the 105 degree heat or the frigid 25 degree cold, there is a comfortable place in between where the weather is great in the fall. There is also the added bonus of the fall foliage making us want to stay lost in the woods until the winter hits. Whether you are the first kind of guy who is unafraid of the weather or the pickier guy who likes to stay comfortable, Wrangler has released there All Terrain Gear (ATG) to keep you warm, dry, and focused on the nature around you.
Keeping men outdoors in the fall
Whether you are a hunter venturing out to get your catch of the season, a hiker looking to find the lost areas of the wilderness untouched by civilization, a camper content on sleeping under the stars, or a combination of the three, ATG has something for you. With a focus on athletic movement, sun protection, stretch technology, warmth, and storage, the line of shirts and pants will make even the pickiest of outdoorsmen happy. For the hiker, there is the Dover shirt featuring a back vent and SPF 30. For the camper there is the Sierra Overshirt and the fleece lined pant to keep you warm until the fire is started.
