Style Pick of the Week: Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans – Your New Go-To Spring Denim

Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans review.

Seasonally friendly style is certainly the name of the game as we shift into high gear this spring, from your lightweight spring chukka boots to a durable spring rain jacket and of course, the best spring jeans on your bottom half. This you well know if you read the blog, but as I always say, a reminder goes a long way as you refresh your spring style essentials. And naturally, Mott and Bow delivers those spring style essentials in fine fashion.

There’s much to love about the jeans on tap today — the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans, boasting a classic and flattering straight fit (although remember, the brand also makes Slim and Skinny fits). A key with these stylish new jeans for men?

The medium-weight 10oz. cotton denim fabric, a nice go-between to transition from, say, heavier selvedge blue jeans for winter and your ultra-lightweight light wash jeans for summer. Beyond that, they’re made with Mott and Bow’s 2 percent stretch elastane, 98 percent cotton fabric blend — and the “stretch factor,” as the brand calls it, clocks in at 20 percent total.

And unlike the darker tones of winter, be it dark blue, grey or shades of dark tan or even dusty clay, the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans nail the details in terms of spring-friendly style. The Light Khaki of the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans is especially well-suited to pairing up with other seasonal favorites, from a light wash denim jacket to a grey henley or an olive field jacket.

Of course, that color also lends itself to plenty of variety in your footwear rotation — try the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans with dark brown lace-up dress boots, dark brown suede Chelsea boots or white high-top sneakers. The Straight fit should prove flattering and easy to wear to the office, rolled atop leather chukka boots or even white leather sneakers — alongside, say, an unstructured navy blazer and white Oxford shirt.

They’re priced nicely at $129, and they could quickly become your new favorite spring jeans. If you’ve tried the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans, let me know in the comments — and if not, get ready to enjoy ’em day in and day out this season.
