We’re not gonna lie, we’re still firmly planted on the pastel colored denim wagon. So you can imagine our delight upon seeing DL1961‘s whole collection of faded neons and pastel jeans for men in the works. With styles both full length and short, the vibrant dyes are faded and worn around pockets and seams to create a vintage-creamsicle appeal. These babies are ready to add some zest to your spring wardrobe.


We approve. Visit DL1961 for more.
