Come longer days, come light wash denim – as the saying goes. Or, at least it would if there was one.


Pale, lived-in jeans should be your go-to from the moment spring, well, springs until it gets properly cold again. This is because as well as being literally cooler (dark colours, sun, heat absorption etc.) they’re also having a bit of moment, since they sit at the nexus of all manner of fashion trends, from LA surf to dressing like your dad.

It helps that the new breed are more sun-bleached than bleach-bleached, so won’t make you look like a forgotten member of White Snake. At least, they won’t if you stick to these seven ways of wearing light wash jeans.

The Chino Alternative

Dark denim will always be smarter than pale washes, just like your charcoal suit is more funeral-suitable than anything in the Man from Del Monte’s wardrobe. But even though raw denim has become the de facto blazer partner for smart-casualcreatives (in fact, precisely for that reason), it’s high time you leaned in o a lighter shade.

Maybe it’s because all of menswear’s rules have exploded, but pale jeans can now sub in for chinos, especially if they’re uniformly faded (the more whiskering you have, the noisier things get). Think of them as a slightly more interesting spin on white jeans, which have long been a preppy favourite, then make like JFK with textured blazers, knitted T-shirts, pique polos. The trick is to make sure the entire look steps down a notch – washed jeans won’t jibe with your smartest tailoring, so go lived-in everywhere else, too.

The Other Canadian Tuxedo

These days, getting dressed is essentially an exercise is breaking rules, so here’s two: yes, you can wear the same shade of denim head-to-toe; and yes, you can do it with washed jeans. Again, indigo jeans were the gateway drug to matchy-matchy denim, but especially in spring, it can look – and feel – and bit oppressive. So lighten up.

It helps that light wash jeans feel a touch younger than dark denim, despite their dadcore connotations. Embrace that ’80s high-school movie vibe by adding character – a band tee here, a pair of OG running shoes there. Ideally, not both from the actual ’80s. Air Force Ones are an almost 40-year-old silhouette, but grab a modern collaboration, and your whole look comes back to the future.

Dressed Kind-Of-Up

Light wash jeans work like a magic wand that turns anything ‘smart’ in o something weekend-ready. Beneath pale denim, a pair of chunky Derbies, or even Oxfords, feels far less formal. And the contrast between worn-in jeans and shiny leather creates the kind of code-switching tension that’s the hallmark of all the best outfits right now.

It works above the belt, too. An overcoat with chinos is what you wear to meet your in-laws. An overcoat with light wash jeans (and, why not, a light wash denim jacket) is what you wear for nights that could end up anywhere.

To Anchor Brights

Denim is almost always a neutral, but light wash jeans especially so. They work expertly with bright accents because the lighter tone means a less jarring contrast – if you stick safety orange next to deep indigo it pops hard enough to cause headaches.

How bright you decide to go is up to you, but washed out yellows and greens nod to the natural world and mean you’ve got consistent tones above and below the belt, which pulls the whole look together. If you do fancy neon, then the more you show, the tougher it is to pull off. An orange jumper with light wash jeans is a strong streetwear look, but if you need to dial it down, just add a neutral jacket. Sometimes, less is more.
