English term or phrase: masculine jeans with a tough edge
I am translating Ecom fashion advertisement. ... are fusing this aesthetic with their own sleek, refined approach, resulting in tailored, masculine jeans with a tough edge. I haven't come up with a suitable translation for the term "a tough edge." I would very much appreciate it if you could give me some suggestions.

メンズダメージジーンズ


Explanation:
I suggest the expression "メンズダメージジーンズ".
In my opinion, "tough" gives non-formal impression and "edge" means a man with a strong personality in fashion.

Moreover, given the product's description and pictures under the website, I became confident.

https://www.matchesfashion.com/kr/mens/the-style-report/2015...

So I think "メンズダメージジーンズ" is a suitable translation for the term "a tough dege".
If you want to make an neutral nuance, you can use a translation "マスキュリンダメージジーンズ".

男性らしさを出したバイタリティある雰囲気のジーンズ


Explanation:
masculineは紳士物を区別するためではなく、紳士服の中でも男性らしい雰囲気という意味で使われていると考えられます。またダメージが必ずしもなくても重さでtoughと表現された可能性があるため、写真ですべての製品にダメージが入っていることが確認できない場合はここではひとまず避けた方が良いと思います。バイタリティでもタフでもよいかと思いますが、タフは類似表現との兼ね合いで使いにくいこともあり(小物などで製品名そのものになっている場合もあります)、ブランドの公式では服の修飾語としてはあまり見かけませんが、一般向けとして多くのブランドを扱っているオンライン販売などでは使用される傾向があるかと思います。
