The right details make a jean look professional. But some details make a jean too casual to be professional. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the details that help make a jean work in a diverse range of workplaces and professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1. Dark Navy Denim Color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, denim has been Indigo dyed. Indigo dye makes the denim a brighter shade of blue, and gives a jean an American-style. But American-style blue jeans come with a history, most commonly a casual-wear history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dark
Midnight Navy is more versatile in most workplaces. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For today\u2019s workplace, we think jeans should have less casual-wear references, and be more versatile. Pro Original<\/a> has a midnight Navy color, making it appropriate for any profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. Low-contrast Stitching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gold or yellow stitching makes a jean look casual, western, or vintage. But most jeans today still use high-contrast stitching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Low-contrast
High-contrast stitching and logos draw unnecessary attention. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With Pro Original Darks, we maintain the DNA of a classic blue jean, but without the bright stitching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. No Logos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Logos are meant to help people identify with a certain group or class. We believe this type of group identification should be limited in the workplace. Neutral branding helps guys better connect across different generations and worldviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

4. No Stretch Denim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stretch denim is and looks like a \u2018comfortable\u2019 product. The synthetic fibers necessary to make a jean stretch, changes the denim surface to look more casual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretch denim is OK for guys who put comfort above style and fit. But we believe a jean for the workplace should be all-cotton, it looks more elevated, holds its shape better…and it’s still plenty comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

5. No Fake Fades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We recommend avoiding pre-faded jeans, especially jeans that try to replicate vintage jeans. Regardless of how good the fake fades are, people sense they\u2019re fake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No
Fading on jeans is acceptable if it’s real or natural.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Faded jeans are acceptable in the workplace, but we the believe jeans should fade naturally, through lots of wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

6. Up-to-date Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A professional jean should look like you care about details, and you’re aware of the fits that are current with the times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Up-to-date
A good fit communicates you pay attention to details. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We advise paying close attention to how much room you have through the seat, thighs, ankles – and the overall length. The most common improvement is reducing excess fabric in these key areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
