How Dark Blue Jeans Are Just Right for Everyone

If we had to estimate how much time we spend in the dressing room trying on jeans, our guess would be way too much. Finding the perfect fit is already hard enough, the last thing we want to do is figure out which blue hue is best, too.

While there is nothing inherently wrong with light-wash jeans, they tend to err on the side of casual. Dark blue ones are far more superior because the possibilities for wearing them are endless. Enter the dark side and we’ll show you how to make them work with anything:

Baggy Lady

You can be a tomboy at heart while still being style savvy. Your borrowed-from-the-boys staples— a loose tee and oversized flannel— become a bit more polished with dark blue jeans, even if they are distressed. The darker wash balances out the casual feel of the rest of the outfit so you won’t feel too dressed down.

Teed Up

The only thing as classic as a pair of jeans is the white T-shirt. Wear them together for a failsafe outfit. You can’t go wrong in your favorite tee, especially when its starkness is contrasted with denim that’s rich in color.

Hard Work

Denim is appropriate in some office environments, even more so when it’s done in dark blue. Embrace the casual dress code in a perfectly fitting pair. Add a bold top and a blazer so all the other employees know you still mean business.

Chic Magnet

The minimalist in you should be able to appreciate a dark blue pair of jeans that have gone untreated. Skinny ones are sleek and slimming while being in tune with your solid-color style. Add dimension and drama with a billowy, black top.

It doesn’t matter if your style is relaxed or refined—dark blue jeans fit right in with your wardrobe.

Do denim anyway you'd like in dark blue jeans.
