 We Found the Perfect Pair of Black Jeans Your Wardrobe Is Probably Missing

By Ben Kriz

Neil Diamond may have sung Forever in Blue Jeans, and sure, there’s no denying the range of classic indigo denim—but the best black jeans for men can do everything that blue jeans can, and sometimes even more. Classic American straight-leg jeans, workwear-inspired Japanese selvedge denim, baggy 90s fits—all of the best men's jeans look absolutely stellar when you turn on dark mode. It’s no wonder punks, rappers, cowboys, Elvis in Jailhouse Rock, and just regular dudes have all reached for them when they want a dose of edge. And when paired with tailoring? The right pair can instantly rock with even a shirt and loose tie—effortlessly sharp, with just the right amount of attitude.

But what are the right black jeans for you? Are they pitch black and pressed, or washed and thrashed? Are they slim-cut or wide-leg? Jet black, stonewashed, artfully f’d up, baggy and relaxed, or skinny and sharp—there are spins on black denim out there than there are coffee orders at Starbucks. So we put in the hard work for you to round up the absolute best black jeans to pick up right now.
