The piece

How to choose and wear jeans

Straight or slim-cut denim is the most worn bottom in most wardrobes. Dark, even washes read smart enough for dinner; lighter washes and wear read weekend.

How to choose

  • Raw or dark indigo is the most versatile wash; black is the second pair, light blue the third.
  • Heavier denim (12 oz and up) keeps its shape; very stretchy denim bags at the knee within weeks.
  • Skip rips and heavy fading if you want one pair to do everything.

How jeans should fit

Slim-straight is the safe middle: close through the thigh without pulling, straight from the knee down.

Common mistakes

  • Double denim in the same wash: it reads as a uniform.
  • Distressed jeans with tailoring you want to look sharp.
  • Stacked, pooling hems over low shoes.

Care: Wash rarely, inside out and cold, to keep the colour; never tumble dry dark denim.

In a capsule: Earns its place because everything casual in a capsule goes with dark denim, from tees to blazers.

The details

Length, belt, socks and fabric

What makes the colours above look deliberate.

Length
A slight break over boots; a cuffed or cropped hem with sneakers and loafers.
Belt
Match the belt to your shoes: a black belt with black leather shoes. With sneakers, any neutral belt works.
Socks
Socks in light blue (or close) extend the line of the leg; no-show socks with loafers or sneakers in summer.
Fabric
The same light blue in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.

Avoid

What not to wear with light blue jeans

Skip the beige sandals. Light blue is cool and bright against warm beige; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
Skip the pink oxford shirt. Two bright colours with no clear relationship (light blue, pink) compete; add a neutral between them.
Skip the light blue denim jacket. All-over light blue is a statement; it needs confident styling and simple accessories.
