True Blue
Straight-leg jeans in a true blue wash are a wardrobe hero, bridging the gap between classic and modern styles. The versatile silhouette makes them perfect for any occasion, while the timeless blue hue ensures they remain a fashion staple for years. Whether dressed up with a blazer and heels or casually styled with a tee and sneakers, this wash offers endless possibilities.
Light Wash/Faded
With a laid-back and effortlessly cool vibe, washed-out hues exude a vintage charm, making them easy to style with tops and shoes of all kinds. Whether you’re aiming for a relaxed weekend look or want to add a touch of casual chic to a workweek outfit, this straight-leg style will become an effortless go-to.
Dark Wash
Straight-leg jeans in dark indigo washes offer more polish and sophistication for dressier denim outfits. Whether you’re heading to the office, a dinner date, or an event, these inkier hues add an element of refinement, making them perfect for pairing with dressier tops and heels for a more elevated ensemble.
Cropped
Cropped straight-leg jeans are a staple, not just for a more casual feel but especially for petite frames—though shortened, ankle-grazing lengths help elongate the legs, making them ideal for shorter heights. They also offer a laid-back vibe that complements a wide range of outfits, from casual T-shirts and sneakers to chic blouses and sandals, making them a versatile option for everyday wear.
Black
Black straight-leg jeans are a modern wardrobe essential with added sleekness and, often, edginess to any outfit, from deep noir to more faded charcoal shades. They’re flawless for casual and dressed-up looks, whether paired with a crisp white shirt at the office or a leather jacket for a night-out weekend look, effortlessly elevating your straight-leg style game.
Shades of White
Straight-leg jeans in shades of white, from bright optic tones to creamy ecru, are a versatile year-round staple that transcends seasonal boundaries. These jeans offer endless styling possibilities, pairing beautifully with cozy sweaters and ankle boots in the colder months or with breezy tops and sandals during warmer seasons. Their crisp and clean look adds a touch of refinement to any ensemble, making them a timeless choice for creating polished looks throughout the year.
Distressed
Distressed straight-leg jeans with a subtle tear here or threadbare detail there are among our favorites for carefree style. This nonchalant effect strikes the perfect balance between edgy and casual, making them great for adding a laid-back quality to look, especially as an offset to dressier pieces for daytime. The key is finding the right balance of well-worn elements for a playful edge that doesn’t appear overly tattered.
Cuffed
You surely wore cuffed jeans at some point in your early schooling years. As with many denim trends, this throwback back feels fresh again this season in a range of washes from dark-rinse to faded. This deliberate turn-up at the hem allows for a showcase of statement footwear or a flash of ankle, adding an air of casualness to any look. The magic lies in the versatility; it works equally well with the raw authenticity of selvedge denim as with the soft ease of a well-worn wash, whether you position your hem to sit just above a pair of loafers or uncuff them when wearing heels.
