The Denim Trend That Screams "I Have Very Expensive Taste"
Dark denim is officially having its moment, and I'm so here for it. There's just something about the trend that screams I have very expensive taste, even if the price tag says otherwise. The style gives off that subtle, polished energy with its clean lines and tailored fit while managing to look completely timeless.
What's the allure of dark denim? It's the versatility. Paired with a crisp white shirt, it's giving quiet luxury. Styled with a leather jacket or tailored blazer, it leans into that effortlessly cool vibe. For nights out, sleek dark jeans styled with a corset top or silky blouse and pointed-toe heels instantly looks elevated.
For 2025, the best styles to shop are all about keeping it clean and tailored. Think high-waisted straight-leg jeans, structured wide-leg silhouettes, and even dark skinny jeans. Dark denim is proof that less really is more sometimes. Whether you're dressing it up or keeping it casual, this trend ensures you'll look effortlessly rich every time.
