It’s something we tend to talk about often here on this Brooklyn style blog: Shifting your favorite menswear essentials from one season to the next, all the while keeping your eye on the proverbial ball and knowing when to carry some of your favorite men’s style picks from one instance or situation to the very next.

For some of us (yours truly very much included), that might mean finding a way to wear your favorite pair of leather boots — even in the summer months — and for others amongst us (yours truly also included) that might mean working a pair of the best light wash jeans for men into your style rotation.

And if you appreciate rugged-meets-refined takes on utter style classics, from the peacoat to the denim shirt to the retro camp collar shirt — blue jeans included — the style aficionados at Billy Reid have just what you need. How about it, ehh?

It’s easier said than done in some situations and climates, but if I had to wager, I’d say a pair of the best light wash jeans for men should fit the bill quite nicely as we move from spring slowly but surely into summer.

After all, a pair of the best men’s jeans is hardly ever out of fashion, and all the better if they come in a seasonally friendly light wash. And that, my friends, is where the Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid Elijah Jeans enter your fashion rotation in these next few weeks.

For multiple seasons, the acclaimed Alabama menswear designer has teamed up with the ultra-fashionable California denim company on pairs of perfectly tailored, expertly crafted, remarkably well-fitting jeans in a variety of eye-catching washes, and that includes this latest run of high-quality designer men’s denim.

There’s an air of top-notch quality and craftsmanship to the partnership, as one would only expect from the same brand that makes the peacoat worn by James Bond (lest we forget). Even the leather back hip patch, with a custom logo, represents the best of the best — at least in my experience — when it comes to dependable style and eye-catching good looks.

The Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid Elijah Jeans use regenerative cotton this time around, with a remarkably supple amount of stretch and durable yet soft, easygoing fabric — plus, a tailored fit that flatters, rather than restricts.

As Billy Reid notes with this pair of your new favorite blue jeans, “the Elijah Jean takes the same craftsmanship of the best-selling Adler jean and opens the leg a bit more for a wider fit that offers more flexibility and motion without compromising on style.” If that sounds right up your alley as far as a new pair of stylish men’s blue jeans, I’d say you’re in luck on this fine spring day, folks.
