Welcome back again to this denim jean style challenge, and part three in the series where I am creating five distinct styles with just two pairs of jeans from next.co.uk.

The two pairs of jeans from Next.co.uk that I used for the challenge

Look Three - Total Chill

I tend to wear jeans at the weekend. Yes, I will sometimes wear a smart pair for work with a shirt and tie but if I want to just chill out and listen to some music, it's a sloppy pair of jeans and my favorite T-Shirt. I just stick on my headphones, crank up the volume and it's the sofa for me, feet up, eyes closed and nodding to the beat.

The full look. Ripped jeans are a style departure for That Dapper Chap!

Rocking to the beats in my favorite T-Shirt

For the chilled rocky look, I chose the rip repair jeans, available HERE from Next.co.uk for £45.00 and pulled on some navy and white striped socks and some white pumps, keeping the look very relaxed. 

On top I chose my favorite T-Shirt, designed by a good friend of mine in the US. It's an original design, printed on to triblend fabric, combining cotton, rayon and polyester making it incredibly soft. Enquiries about this T-Shirt and forthcoming designs to brian@greycardigan.com

Mirror aviators add to the rocky look

In addition to the T-Shirt I chose a grey bomber jacket and some mirror aviators. This look will see you at the pub, a lunch with friends or just running around doing chores. It's comfortable and relaxed, just like the jeans themselves.

Rock On

What is That Dapper Chap wearing a non dapper look? A dapper look this is not and I'll tell you why. A few days ago somebody mentioned my waistcoats and bow ties and commented that they wondered what I'd look like with a rocky look, much to the amusement of others around us. Challenge accepted I thought!!

This T-shirt is one I've owned for a while. A few years ago I wasn't so well groomed or as dapper as I appear now. I wore ripped jeans, scruffy converse, a rock t-shirts and a leather jacket. The ripped jeans have long gone, as has the leather jacket but I still like these type of T-shirts and do throw one one on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

The jeans are a skinny fit black stretch denim which I will wear with a shirt, waistcoat and a tie, maybe with a pair of black brogue boots but today was way too hot for anything other than an old well washed t-shirt and some worn in Chucks.

Shoes: Converse

Jeans: Primark

T-Shirt: H&M
