What’s the difference between rinse wash and dark wash jeans?
rinse wash denim // dark indigo wash
Rinse wash jeans are darker and keep that crisp, inky indigo color because they’ve been minimally treated. They’re perfect when you want a clean, polished look that works for everything from the office to a night out.
Dark wash jeans, on the other hand, go through a bit more processing, so they tend to have a softer feel with subtle fading or whiskering. This gives them a slightly more lived-in vibe, which makes them ideal for a casual, everyday style that still feels put together.
I have some of each in my closet, but I tend to gravitate to the dark wash styles with some whiskering and fading because I prefer a more relaxed vibe. Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s discuss what to wear with all of the darker washes we’re seeing in stores these days!
