As we inch closer and closer to September, I'm thinking more and more about jeans. Specifically, I'm deciding which denim trends to invest in for fall, and Bella Hadid just endorsed one that's set to be major this season: dark denim.
The inkiest of denim washes has been creeping up among the new arrivals of practically every retailer as of late, and I, for one, am here for it. After a summer filled with light washes and white denim, I'm ready for something a bit less casual—and far more elegant.
For an appearance this week in Los Angeles, Hadid paired a boho-inspired corset with dark-wash flared jeans, highlighting the vintage vibes of inky denim. I've been shopping the trend in everything from mini dresses to barn jackets, but I'm mainly zeroed in on finding the perfect dark denim jeans that'll make my fall outfits instantly more elegant. Shop the pairs I'm deciding between here.
