The light-wash denim outfits fashion girls are loving this spring

Blink and you’ll miss the denim trend. With the fast pace of the fashion cycle, it can feel like new jeans come out every day. Just last fall, dark-wash pairs wowed fashion folks. However, this spring, the pendulum is swinging toward light-wash denim—which is set to give its older, more polished counterpart a run for its money.

In fact, dark-wash jeans give off a sophisticated, sophisticated feel, while light-wash jeans have a more casual look. That said, they are not limited to off-duty moments. Denim styled with a silk cami or lace blouse can feel instantly elevated. Still, light-wash jeans really shine in a relaxed environment — think your neighborhood bar or a park picnic. Simply put, there’s no wrong way (or place) to wear them. There’s also the matter of silhouette. At the moment, slouchy and straight-leg jeans are at the forefront. But if a thin or tapered style is more your speed, by all means slim down.
