Ah! Well, I get where you’re coming from. Here’s some ideas:
Black or grey jeans. Still jeans, but avoids the Canadian tux look.
Chinos! I have some light brown and green ones. Mix great with a jean jacket and a white/black button-up or t-shirt. Or polo shirt, why not.
Of the above, only the black jeans are not easier to get dirty than blue jeans. But not disasterously so, really. I did just get some grease on my brown chinos from my bicycle which I need to clean now, so yeah, that is a point. But it doesn’t happen that often, and some clothing soap generally does the trick.
