Which shade of denim works best for you?
Ever wondered why some jeans feel impossible to style?
It all comes down to the denim colour, and there’s one that plays best with the most colours of clothes you own.
It’s the brighter, true light denim that does the heavy lifting, effortlessly pairing back with more colours than any other wash.
In my outfit on the left, I’ve got the butter yellow top, bright light denim jeans and dark pink shoes.
Now look at the outfit on the right. It's a taupe and white stripe shirt, bright light denim jeans and black wedges.
You may have never stopped to think about it, but every colour type has a best denim, that one wash that makes getting dressed easy because it naturally works with the colours you already own.
Have you worked out yours yet?
Sure, you can treat denim like floorboards and wear it with everything…
But when you bring colour theory into play, suddenly every outfit sings.
It’s also why you might put on a certain wash and take it straight back off, it just doesn’t belong to your palette.
That’s the real power here: having a plan. Shopping for jeans and jackets stops being a guessing game and starts being focused, easy, and on-point.
And that’s the secret.
Because if your wardrobe doesn’t reflect what suits you and everything else hanging in there, it’ll never quite click.
