The Basics of Personal Style: Dark Wash Jeans

Dark Wash Jeans-3 Looks by Style Clarity featuring gold chain jewelry

Dark wash jeans today have become the new little black dress. They can be paired with virtually anything and can be worn casual or glammed up. They also transition easily from day to night.

Every "must own list" that has been developed since the mid-nineties has suggested a pair of darkwash bootcut jeans. While this item is practical, its also important that everything we buy fit into our personal style. What is the best way to incorporate our dark-wash jeans into the rest of our wardrobe. Here are a few examples, remember, not everyone needs a bootcut! :)

The first look featuring dark wash jeans is a great look for running errands, going on an afternoon shopping trip, or out for a Sunday brunch. The dark skinny jeans pair nicely with a long, cinched, button up cotton shirt and a pair of comfortable but stylish flats. The darkness of the jean, in addition to the skinny cut creates a long and lean visual effect.

The second look features a dark wash, fit and flare jean. This look proves jeans are versatile enough to dress up any outfit. This look, featuring the jeans is perfect for a date night or girl’s night out. Wear the strappy tank alone or underneath a printed jacket. Dressing in layers is great for classing up a diner and transitioning into a fun night out.

The final look shows dark wash boot leg jeans make a perfect neutral blank canvas for color blocking-one of the season’s hottest trends. The jeans pair beautifully with the orange, red, and pink colors. When color blocking, always stick to colors on the same side of the color wheel.

Dark wash jeans are a fashion staple for any girl’s closet and can be used recurrently-whether to make comfort look fashionable or play up the latest color trend. Pick up a pair that fits your personal style (and lifestyle!). Each of these outfits has dark jeans, but the clothing choices are as versatile as the owners.
