Here at SG HQ, we’ve become aware of some unexpected resistance to black jeans. Not blue jeans—you have those down flat by now. But black jeans? It turns out, they’re a bit of a mystery! So, let’s talk about it.
Black jeans straddle the line between edgy and effortless, and who doesn’t want that vibe with a men’s outfit?!
The good news is, you can dress in black jeans all the way up and down the style spectrum from punk to totally work-appropriate. They deliver all the comfort and versatility of your favorite classic denim, with a hint more sophistication.
And no matter how you wear them, black jeans have a way of making everything else you’re wearing look just a little cooler. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to dive in with black denim.
Here’s what you’ll find in this guide to wearing men’s black jeans:
Below, style inspiration for wearing black jeans outfits:
Wear black jeans with black loafers
An easy way to wear black jeans is with shoes that extend the overall line of your outfit. The benefit is you look a little taller.
Plus, you can have some more fun with the rest of your outfit. Do you want to dress things up with a blazer, or keep things easy-breezy with something like a striped OCBD? Wearing all black on the bottom means you get to be as creative as you want up top.
Wear black jeans with a grey top
SG Says: Black jeans make an impact of their own, so you don’t have to work too hard to make a LEWK out of them. Add a grey top or simple t-shirt, maybe a layer over that. Black shoes, and you’ve got yourself an outfit with a capital “O.”
And sure, you could swap white sneakers into either of these looks, but if you want to elevate your black jeans into a more sophisticated outfit, then black lace-ups are the way to go.
Wear black jeans with a great jacket
SG Says: Sure, your eye is probably drawn to the NN07 jacket from The Bear that’s been on every guy’s wish list this year.
But don’t miss the black jeans with penny loafers (and socks!) combo on the bottom. Yes, chef.
Pair black jeans with cowboy boots
SG Says: Yes, cowboy boots are going mainstream in 2025!
Vests, too.
If wearing both together feels a bit much, just opt for one trendy piece with your fave pair of black jeans, and keep the rest of your look more timeless.
Black jeans allow for such ease that even a simple grey hoodie, white shirt or black shirt will have you looking like a movie star. The outfit ideas are endless when the pairings are this easy!
Wear denim on denim…in different colors
SG Says: Black jeans look great with a staple like a trucker jacket. It’s giving “ready for anything” in a cool way. This outfit with a white t-shirt and western-inspired belt peeking out isn’t hard to put together, but it does take confidence to pull off.
Bottom line?
Don’t overthink it when it comes to dark denim. Usually, the simplest outfit in a man’s wardrobe the best one.
Wear black jeans with high top sneakers
SG Says: An all black outfit is SO easy and SO stylish.
This patterned topcoat on NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo adds just enough visual interest without feeling too “out there.” You can always use outerwear (think a blazer or bomber jacket, too) as a way to add something extra with interesting textures and colors.
Keep this combination on your list of go-to smart casual outfits for next time you have a somewhat formal event on the books—and remember that you can swap the black top for navy, too.

Wear wide-leg black jeans
Okay, this one is more trendy, but if you’re feeling adventurous, why not take a break from more slim-fitting styles and try a trendier cut when adding black jeans to your wardrobe repertoire?
The good news is, men’s fashion doesn’t move as quickly as women’s, so you can trust that the wide-leg style will stick around for a bit. Depending on your footwear and accessories, just about any casual outfits you have in mind can work with this style.

The best part of shopping for black jeans is if you already know a brand or style that works for you, there’s a good chance they come in black.
Selvedge, straight leg, athletic fit..the world is your oyster!
