Business casual blue jeans
I’m taking a stand, right here, right now: Jeans should be allowed in “business casual” environments.
I don’t normally talk about work-related stuff, but I can’t bite my tongue on this one. I have two pairs of identical pants: one pair is blue jeans, the other is tan jeans. Are the tan jeans really that much dressier? I’ve never gotten a comment about them, but people hassle me about the jeans (which are decent, nice looking jeans, by the way).
Here’s the deal: if you wear reasonable quality jeans with a button-down shirt, that should qualify. Yeah? Agree with me here.
By the way, I waded through the internets trying to find some “expert” on business fashion who’d agree with me, but they all said jeans are a no-no. Well, fuck them. That’s why I can’t link to any other sites in this post.

Combat this by wearing baggy tan jeans, tuck in a huge button-down shirt (thus having long short sleeves), and then put on a pair of sweet-looking shoes.

I bet you a round of drinks that very, very dark, slim-ish (more slim that you’d probably prefer) jeans are acceptable on Causal Friday. This is especially true if you wear very expensive, very high quality shoes. For some reason men underestimate the power of ridiculously expensive shoes as a free card for all sorts of mishaps above the ankles. Just don’t go ruining the success of this look by wearing white socks.
If you try this, let me know how it turns out.

I think I will try that. I’ve got some foo-foo jeans and foo-foo shoes that could work.
