Faded Denim

Picture the color of your favorite jeans. The pair that fits the best. The pair you throw on with everything, to go everywhere. That soft blue hue is faded denim. Few clothing items are more effortlessly stylish than perfectly worn-in jeans. But, choosing the right denim wash is half the battle. Rinse wash gives the quintessential faded denim look you want. As a general rule of thumb, darker denim is more formal than lighter washes. For a versatile pair of jeans that matches everything, go for a midtone wash. Pale blue washes look hip and trendy, especially in contemporary shapes and distressed styles. Pair light washed faded denim with deep, rich jewel tones like burgundy and forest green. Medium washes are the most versatile but look especially great with navy, charcoal, and black. With dark jeans, pick tomato red for a daring, vivid contrast. A faded denim jacket, a timeless closet staple, will dress down a colorful shift dress or add polish to a tee and leggings. You can even paint a room in this muted blue. Add bold accents like red or orange pillows, throws, or even a rug. The versatility of this hue is endless.
