The Refreshing Denim Trend We're Loving for Winter

With the change in seasons (and drop in temperatures) comes a change in what we wear, whether it’s piling on the layers or switching out our wardrobes from vibrant colors to a palette of neutrals. Oftentimes, while we’re putting our cutoff shorts into storage until the warm weather returns, our light-wash jeans go with them. This season, however, we’re taking a different approach with our wardrobes. Right up there with bright neon colors and soft pastels, light-wash jeans for the winter have become a major trend. While it may be a bit of a surprise, we have to say it’s quite refreshing.

As tempting as it is to reach for your standard black skinnies or a pair of cool dark-wash jeans for a winter day (we know it is for us), a pair of light-wash jeans will break up your winter ensembles in the best way possible. To show you what we mean, we’ve rounded up looks from our favorite It girls who just might convince you to wear this style every day of the season. Check them all out below.

Style Tip: Pair your jeans with a printed winter coat.

Style Tip: You can't go wrong with a cardigan top and heels.

Style Tip: Let your jeans be neutral against brighter winter pieces like a yellow scarf.

Style Tip: Take the brighter approach this season and pair your jeans with neon hues like hot pink.

Style Tip: For a comfortable look, go for a oversized fit on both your denim and top.

Style tip: For a different take on classic denim, find unique touched like this crossover pair.

Style tip: When the cold weather comes, it's all about leather. Throw a leather blazer or jacket over your denim fit.

Style tip: If you're not feeling an oversized look, opt for cropped items.

Style tip: Instead of opting for sweats, pair your favorite loungewear sweatshirt with a pair of relaxed denim.

Style tip: When in doubt, put on a shacket.
