Best Dark Wash Jeans Every Woman Should Own
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that a good pair of dark wash jeans will never let you down. Seriously! They make you look slimmer, they go with everything in your closet, and they can be dressed up or down depending on your mood. I went to a funeral recently that was a graveside service. My mom wore her “dressy” jeans. Yep, they were dark wash! Whether you’re into straight legs, flares, wide-leg jeans, or the timeless bootcut, you need at least one pair.
In Case You Missed It:
A Neutral Outfit with Wide Leg Jeans
I’m a big fan of dark wash jeans, and this pair from FRAME is such a good find. The high waist provides coverage, the fit through the hips is smooth, and the wide leg opens up in a way that feels polished rather than sloppy. I paired them with a neutral Long Cable Cardigan that goes with everything.
Fall Ready with a Plaid Knit Coat and Dark Wash Jeans
This look feels a little more elevated but still easy to wear. I love the look of the darkwash Wide-Leg Jeans, Nubuck Belt, and suede mules. I added a fun Plaid Knit Coat from Amazon to the outfit. The mix of browns and creams makes it look fall-ready, and I love how it has buttons with tassel closures.
Straight Ankle Jeans for an Early Fall Look
Sometimes the simplest combinations are the ones you reach for over and over again. This soft Short Sleeve Cardigan is lightweight and breathable, but still gives you the cozy factor that says fall is near. Paired with the Slim Straight Ankle Jeans, a classic style from Talbots, and you have the perfect early fall outfit. I love the straight ankle cut, and you can wear them with sandals now and ankle boots later.
