Dark Wash Jeans

Dark Wash Jeans: Straight, Baggy & Selvedge Styles

Dark wash jeans are a staple we always keep well stocked at Urban Outfitters because they work for nearly every occasion. The deeper indigo and black-based washes read a bit more polished than lighter denim, making them easy to dress up with a blouse or dress down with a graphic tee. We offer dark wash across wide leg, straight, skinny, and cropped fits, so there's a silhouette for whatever you're after. Dark denim also tends to show less wear over time, which our customers appreciate for the pairs they reach for constantly. Layer in a blazer or leather jacket and the look shifts instantly from casual to going-out ready. If you only own one wash of jeans, dark is usually the one we'd recommend starting with.
