Denim Watch: Light Wash Is Back for Summer
Denim has had quite a journey the last couple of seasons. First it was all dark washes, then white and ecru took over, then we saw a run of color. This summer, light wash is having its moment again, and it is not the same casual light wash from a decade ago. It is being styled with more polish, think tailored pieces, heels, and structure instead of just a tee and sneakers. It has that broken-in, vintage feel but reads elevated rather than off-duty.
Cropped and Polished
The Mother Mid-Rise Rambler Zip Ankle in Pretty Please delivers a cropped, polished silhouette, while the Xirena Nixon Denim Pant in Blue Cloud offers something soft and easy that still reads current.
Wide Leg, Two Ways In
For a wider leg, the Habitual Denim Gemma Double Waistband Wide-Leg Jean in Coast has great movement and a detail at the waist that keeps it from feeling basic. The AMO Denim 143 Jean in Saltwater and AMO Denim Regina Jean in Loom are both great if you want to try the trend in two different fits without committing to just one.
The Cropped Finish
The Stitch Up Maven Flood in Ride Hard, Live Louder rounds it out with a cropped, ankle-grazing length that pairs beautifully with heels or flats.
Less effort. More style. Wear what you want.
