Dark denim truly doesn’t get the love it deserves. While washed blue jeans and classic black denim are a staple in many a wardrobe, indigo jeans often feel like an afterthought. While you mightn’t see the deep blue style out and about as much, don’t let that fool you — it’s one of the most versatile and sophisticated styles of denim around and it just so happens that fall is the perfect time to wear it.
More in tune with the warmer tones of the autumn palette, dark denim serves as the perfect foundation for all your cosy knits, blazers and trench coats during fall. Unlike the brighter and lighter denim shades, dark denim toes the line between casual yet put-together — which is exactly why dark denim is preferred for the office over light blue. This also makes it the perfect evening denim, requiring only a pair of sleek heels and a silk shirt to become soirée-ready. Looking for ways you can wear this versatile denim shade? Below are six chic ways you can wear dark denim this fall.
1. Blazer + Suede Accessories
Brown and grey make for a sophisticated colour combination that complements dark denim especially well. To add texture and dimension, bring in a luxe material like suede to elevate the overall feel of the look.
2. Scarf Jacket + Ankle Boots
The scarf jacket has taken over the fall/winter scene and for good reason — it’s an elegant, practical and versatile piece to have in your wardrobe. For a casual, everyday look, pair yours with dark denim jeans and ankle boots.
3. Black Shirt + Heels
A crisp black shirt feels understated and elegant while dark wash jeans match the overall sophisticated feel. Keep the look simple with fuss-free accessories and use a belt with a pop of gold to visually break up the shades.
4. Leather Blazer + Slingbacks
An ideal day-to-night look, this outfit takes you from grabbing coffee to dinner reservations with ease. The leather blazer feels polished and put-together while the straight-leg jeans bring a casual feel to the look.
5. Leather Jacket + Pointed Flats
Casual and comfortable, you can always rely on a pair of relaxed dark-wash jeans during fall. Style simply with a cosy jumper for warmth, a leather jacket for dimension and a pair of flats for daylong comfort.
6. Grey Jumper + Brown Bag
The perfect example of an effortlessly cool look for fall. The relaxed sweater and matching brown accessories complement one another while the jeans tie the whole look together with their classic and casual feel.
