A few things every man needs in the spring: fresh kicks, a statement watch, and a few breezy chambray shirts. Haus Of Howe is offering up some thin, luxe options—one with a drawstring hooded detail in a super light wash. Imagine either of these paired with some colored chinos or cargo shorts for an easy spring look. No-fuss everyday styling always wins.
Take a closer look below.
Keep an eye on Haus Of Howe for more men’s spring basics.

While on vacation in Capri with girlfriend Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux just couldn’t help but show off his Nudie Jeans Tight Long John, which looked great on his seriously buff body. He’s got this badass punk vibe that has worked for him over and over again (remember him in “Charlie’s Angels“?), and we’re certain Jen doesn’t mind it one bit. Although we weren’t sure that we liked his Calvin Klein underwear all hanging out, we’ll give Justin a pass this time. By the way, these unisex skinny jeans have serious boyfriend jean potential: Jennifer could swipe these from Justin when he’s busy working out or something.

If you recall, Denim Therapy covered Joe’s Jeans’ Spring Lookbook, and now their Summer Lookbook featuring jeans for women and men are out. Instead of pastels, expect to see more color variations in the collection, such as deeper earthen tones, large floral, bleached out and rocker-chic printed jeans. We’re already a bit obsessed with their ikat printed jeans for women, even as the men’s jeans remain relatively tame by comparison. However, a stand out is a brown jean that will insert itself into the male consciousness soon enough. Check out the gallery to view some of our favorite picks.

When you think of Seattle fashion, somehow brands like Comme des Garçons, Robert Gellar, Odyn Vovk and Rick Owens aren’t the first to come to mind. But, when you walk into menswear store Blackbird, you soon find that you’ve stepped into a menswear style oasis in the charming Ballard district, and you’ll find these progressive brands and more are in stock. Recently, Denim Therapy dropped by to check out Blackbird’s Hazlewood jean, a limited-run (150 pairs each style) of straight leg jeans (in raw indigo Cone Mills denim, “Stolen” Black mid-weight jean, and indigo Japanese nep 13oz denim fabrications). Sales Manager Rick Moe says producing their own jeans was a part of Blackbird’s evolution as a full lifestyle brand. We have to say we’re both pretty excited and bummed that you can only get the Hazlewood at Blackbird stores.

The men’s raw denim line Unbranded has chosen to simplify their approach to jeans… to the point where there is literally no branding on them anywhere. Forget about bright contrast stitching, patches, logos, or other iconic elements. These jeans take their identity from a lack of branding, and are perfect for the man who wants the fit and fabrication (raw 14.5oz selvedge denim made on shuttle looms) to speak for itself. They retail at Urban outfitters for around $78.

If you were to break down what denim must-haves to acquire for your closet, where would you start? We went by our favorite denim staples for any man, for every occasion this spring, and pulled out several solid pieces that can be worn and loved for many seasons: (1) the denim jacket, (2) the denim shirt, and the various cuts of jeans that are fashion director approved: (3) the slim fit jean, (4) the straight leg and (5) a men’s skinny jean. The next question is, can you choose just one?
