What are the cool jeans for teenage boys?

[Anonymous]

For the lower end - My DS isn’t fashionable so maybe not helpful but he got AE jeans in a slightly baggy style.

But I don’t get why from a fashion standpoint all of these teens want only thrifted jeans - no one knows if the jeans you bought were thrifted vs new, right?!

They can smell them (sorry).

+1 New cheap denim smells horrible.

It's the other way around. Unless you have covid?

I would be thrilled to see better fashion and hygiene.

They’re just mimicking their mommies

Yeah, I know what you meant. But seriously, new denim smells awful, too. Doused in nasty chemicals.

DS wears Levi's, new not thrifted. I agree that most boys at his school do not wear jeans, but some do.

I have a teen son in bethesda and he and his friends don’t wear jeans but his older sister likes Levi’s. I think that’s probably a safe bet in a very classic cut (not tight but think something Bruce S would have worn in the 70s or 80s). Black and grey jeans probably also okay. I think the very baggy jeans read as feminine now because that’s what all the girls are wearing.

American Eagle might work but is a little more risky because it could be perceived as too “mall trendy” in some circles. I feel like Levi’s transcends all of that because of its historical street cred.

I recently went back to buying Levi’s myself because I was with my teen.

I keep asking my teen if he wants jeans. Nope.

What pants would be cool for a cowboy themed 17th bday party for a boy? Jeans? What brands? Do boys even wear jeans anymore?

There are no cool jeans because kids wear athleisure

The kids at my son's school wear jeans.

Empyr is cool for baggy, skater-types; I don't get it - they're just jeans with an ugly logo patch. But I'm obviously not a teen.

My kid wears baggy jeans from H&M or thrifted Levi's (at least 2 sizes too big). I'd say he's pretty typical in how he dresses compared to the other kids.

Levi's loose fit jeans.

I don’t allow anything with an elastic waist to be worn to school. My DS wears American Eagle or Abercrombie jeans every day or chino shorts when’s it’s hot.

For a teenager? This seems really controlling, unless this is a private school that has a dress code that prohibits it.

My son wears DL 1961. Usually in the Brady Slim.
