Light-colored denim/jeans coordinate special! Focus on men's styles to incorporate into your spring outfits

Light-colored denim, washed to fade the indigo dye to a lighter tone, is a staple item that is a mainstay for spring and summer. While the inherent ruggedness of denim is understated, these bottoms bring a youthful and fresh atmosphere, making them suitable for a clean look. In this issue, we focus on light-colored denim, such as light blue and ice blue, and introduce some of the hottest styling trends and recommended items!

What are three points to consider when choosing light-colored denim?

1) “For the silhouette, definitely go for a wide leg that does not pick up the line of the leg.

Light-colored denim is nowadays offered by many popular fashion brands such as Celine, Gucci, and Balenciaga, and is mainly in wide-leg or oversized styles such as loose-fitting straight, flared, or baggy without picking up the leg line. They can be worn in a variety of ways, from high-waisted with tops tucked in for a clean look to loose-waisted for a mischievous look, and are characterized by a completely different approach from the slim tapered or slim fit jeans that are rolled up to ankle-length to create a loose fit at the feet, which have been the standard up to now. Of course, for a mature and smart look, slim tapers and slim fits are still the most popular choices, but there is a big possibility that they will look old-fashioned and irreplaceable. Moreover, considering the recent trend toward wide-legs and loose-fitting bottoms, the straight, flared, or baggy denim with a loose fit that does not pick up the line of the leg is the first choice for light-colored denim to make a difference with a modern look.

Point 2: “Avoid items with crushed or hard damage that show bare skin.

Many popular brands that have a great influence on the trend are offering light-colored denim with hard damage, but it is only the hardcore artists and teenagers to men in their 20s who are able to positively transform a toe-match gimmick into a fashionable item, using their youth as an excuse. Men’s wear. For adults, the smart choice is to choose light-colored denim that is not too revealing and clean enough to cause discomfort.

3) “Choose light-colored denim with a uniform faded look, with no differences in shade.

Among light-colored denim, those that are relatively easy to wear are those that are uniformly faded, with no differences in shade. Of course, shades of denim give the appearance of denim with a thicker, more rugged look, but they are also more assertive and may detract from the freshness that is inherent in light-colored denim. Therefore, unless you are a heavy user who wears denim on a regular basis, it is wise to choose denim without shades.

What are the tips for wearing light-colored denim?

There are two main tips for wearing light-colored denim: keep it clean and neat, or add a bit of color and silhouette. If you want to keep it clean, it is always a good idea to combine it with neutral-colored items such as white and green, which blend well with the skin, and are a staple of summer wear. On the other hand, a technique that can be applied regardless of the season is to pair light-colored denim with a dark-colored top or silhouette that contrasts with the light-colored denim. While there is a technique of pairing baggy or oversized jeans with longer tops to create a loose look, it is generally considered a good idea to create a fuller silhouette by layering the upper body, tucking in tops, and wearing jeans on the waist.
