Dark wash in a slim fit gives you definition without looking strained or requiring gymnastics to sit down. The narrower cut works particularly well with darker indigo and charcoal shades because it creates clean vertical lines that actually lengthen rather than shorten. Slim fit jeans in dark wash layer brilliantly under longer knitwear and work with pointed shoes, loafers and slim boots. The fabric weight in these tends to be heavier which means they hold their shape through the day and do not develop a baggy knee by afternoon. These are the dark wash slim fit jeans that work as hard in smart casual settings as they do with weekend basics.
