Men's Gray Jeans

Is gray ever the only color for men's jeans?

A work trip that only allows for one pair of jeans in the suitcase makes the case for gray jeans for men over a standard blue wash, since it reads a shade dressier and hides travel wrinkles better than indigo denim does.

A suit separate covers the same dressed-up need on a more formal night out, but jeans win for anything in between, worn with a button down for dinner or a plain tee for the flight home. Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger both keep a straight-leg cut in steady rotation on this rack.
