This Easy Denim Update Will Make Your Outfits Look On-Trend This Fall


Denim is a year-round staple, but there's no question it becomes a power player in fall—a piece we rely on from day to night as the cooler temps hit and the backbone to some of our coolest autumn looks.
There's one chic and easy denim update you can make this fall that will have you looking 100% on-trend: the simple action of swapping your casual light washes for a dark wash denim piece. Whether you opt for a pair of wide-leg jeans, a denim barn jacket, or an inky midi dress, thanks to its deeper indigo tone, dark wash denim can be just as appropriate for the workplace as it can for a night out—giving off a pulled together and polished look.
The indigo denim trend was as spotted in a whole host of the fall 2025 collections—from the double denim looks at Ulla Johnson to the A-line skirt sets at Zimmermann and the sleek split-hem jeans at Tory Burch—cementing its status as one of the must-have pieces for the new season.
