Everything is darker in the winter. As far as denim is concerned, dark washes tend to dominate this time of year, replacing summer-leaning white jeans and acid finishes for fabrications in charcoal and black.
But it’s not all doom and gloom: dark palettes can look striking against the backdrop of the low sun on a bright winter’s day, plus they’re more practical for the unpredictable weather. Wearing dark-wash jeans hides any dirt or sogginess that might inevitably gather at the hemlines. Should you be faced with an impromptu downpour, you don’t have to worry about grey jeans as much as lighter shades.
Baggy silhouettes look especially good when rendered in a grungy hue, like textured pewter, as do straight-leg and wide-leg cuts. The steady slim-fit jean revival has made way for several grey-toned styles, with seams that fit close to the leg and hit right on the ankle. Scroll on for some of the best dark-wash denim available now.
