Whether light, medium or dark color! Jeans are always a timeless and stylish choice. We show you how to take any jeans look to the next level with the right color combinations.
They are versatile, durable and extremely comfortable: jeans. In the world of fashion, there are few pieces of clothing that are as iconic, ingenious and comfortable. Quickly put on, add a sweater and hop into the office or café – you guessed it: jeans are always a safe bet. But denim can do even more! Especially in the right combination. The secret lies in the choice of color – be it the top, the shoes or accessories. You can find out which colors and which wash they are here.
Light wash: Pastel nuances appear uniform
Lightness and freshness – attributes that everyone probably associates with a light wash of jeans. It is precisely this liveliness that can be intensified with the right choice of color for the rest of your clothing. Pastel-colored tops in pink, light blue or mint green in particular look playful and give the look a summery touch on rainy autumn days. Dark knitwear should be avoided as it creates too much contrast and can appear too harsh with the whitish blue. A simple gray offers a beautiful and harmonious alternative. If you still don’t want to do without dark shades, you can keep the ideal balance with a hat or light sneakers.
Medium Wash: Bring on earthy tones
They form the middle point between the light casualness of light jeans and the clear elegance of dark denim – which is why trousers with a medium wash need the ideal counterpart. A sweater in earth tones like brown or khaki goes great with medium-tone jeans and adds a warm, cozy element to any outfit. Autumn radiates shades from beige to rust red! But a classic black also rounds off the look for everyday use. Tip: You can also play around with the accessories and make-up. A bright red on the lips, small ruby-colored stones on the earlobes: these subtle nuances make the difference.
Dark wash: Timeless, even for the evening
Dark jeans look particularly chic and are therefore perfect for formal occasions or an elegant dinner. For this reason, simple colors look distinctive and chic. Add a white or blue shirt and the look exudes sophistication and style. If you like a touch of color, choose a rich shade of blue with dark jeans, such as a deep navy blue. The different shades of blue almost offer a duel that looks exciting despite the same color family. Tip: Add golden chunky jewelry to round off the look (even) more glamorously.
