Adding the unexpected to an outfit is the key to feeling confident and unstoppable. So while most lean into dark wash denim in the colder months, light wash (or even creamy white!) options done right can be a big YES. Here’s the secret to pulling them off…
Balance the look by adding depth. Think rich colors like greens, browns, or a very popular burgundy – also materials like leather or suede that bring in visual weight. And of course a touch of unexpected with a stripe layer underneath.
