The holidays are fast approaching, and when this time of the year rolls around, we know all the Preview girls are on the lookout for pieces that will help elevate their wardrobe for the merry festivities ahead. For this we have two rules: The first is comfort is always a must, as the looks need to take you from office meetings to after-hour cocktails. And, second, is that the item can be dressed up or down to fit any occasion.
Enter: dark wash denim. A Fall 2023 trend spotted on the runways of Victoria Beckham, Versace, and Dior, a darker wash is the easiest way to make your favorite jeans and T-shirt combination more evening appropriate. Since the darker wash lends a more trouser-like look to your denims, it instantly dresses you up in a way casual, light wash denim jeans can't.
Don't believe us? We'll let these celebrities do the talking. Keep scrolling for how your favorite celebs wear the dark wash denim trend.
How to Wear Dark Wash Denim, According to These Celebrities
Chie Filomeno
Take a page from Chie Filomeno's book and pair a dark wash denim maxi skirt with a cropped tube top and gray blazer. Keep the blazer on for the day and leave it in the office for a night out with your friends, either way the dark wash will keep you looking dressy without sacrificing comfort.
Liz Uy
The celebrity stylist wore a dark denim jacket juxtaposed against a pair of white wide leg trousers and a white Celine Triomphe handbag. Here, she used her jacket to play with proportions. Darker shades tend to make things look smaller, so even if her jacket isn't form-fitting, having it in a darker shade allows her voluminous trousers to take center stage.
Heart Evangelista
Here's Heart Evangelista schooling us on how to choose your outfit's colors. A lighter pair of denim jeans would have made her leather coat look really dark and a little out of place, but a darker wash makes the outfit appear more cohesive since it serves as a middle ground for her light-colored top and darker outerwear.
Jinkee Pacquiao
If you're going the T-shirt and jeans route, let Jinkee Pacquiao's airport 'fit guide you. The key to elevating your look is in the accessories. Though her base outfit is casual, she dresses it up by wearing blingy sandals (plus points for rolling up her jean hems), accessorizing with a pair of sunnies and jewelry, and a statement handbag. (An Hermès Birkin, of course!)
Michelle Dee
Going all out with your denim look? Top to toe denim in an inky indigo wash is your best bet. As Michelle Dee demonstrates, she's both chic and photo-ready as she strolls through the airport.
