Daring guys can cuff those jeans and not blink an eye. Can you rock a look like this? With a cardi and a pair of streamlined loafers, you’ll be channeling geek chic to the max. Go for a basic tight tee if you want to keep things simple. Trim fit and lightly distressed effect for vintage cool. [$98 at ralph lauren]

Grey jeans are “the” purchase of the season. Even though we’re in the thick of fall, there’s no denying that snow will be right around the corner. Instead of ruining chinos and light jeans in slush and wet dirt all season long, you can slip into a pair of pants that are virtually unruinable by street stains. A nice mid-rise hits in the right place, and 100% cotton means that these can get thrown in with the rest of the laundry. Good with jumpers and casual jackets. [$177 at bblessing]
