Cropped jeans in dark wash sit at or just above the ankle and create a neat proportion that works year round. The shorter length means they do not compete with your shoes and they pair easily with everything from sandals in summer to ankle boots in winter. Dark wash keeps them looking polished and prevents that washed out appearance that lighter crops can develop. The cropped length also means you can wear them with slightly longer knitwear and they still maintain clean lines. Cropped jeans in dark wash work in both casual and business casual settings depending on what you pair them with. These are the dark wash cropped jeans that justify the investment because they genuinely work with most of your existing wardrobe.
