After blue jeans, tan jeans are one of the most versatile pairs of pants you can own. The key to their versatility is getting the perfect shade of tan. The most versatile shade of tan can’t be too dark, too beige, or too orange, although all three of those variations of tan are still gorgeous denim colors that a man can wear regularly.
