How to wear medium wash jeans

Medium wash jeans sit between dark indigo and light, faded blue. Some indigo has been washed out, usually with light fading at the thighs and knees. It is the classic blue jean and the most versatile shade for both casual and smarter outfits. Shades range from a clean, even blue to vintage washes with stronger fading and whiskering at the hips.

Mid blue works with almost every color: white, black, grey, navy, camel and bright colors. It suits every cut, from straight-leg and wide-leg to bootcut. If you only own one pair of jeans, a mid wash straight leg is a sensible choice.

For a smarter look, try dark wash jeans. For a more relaxed summer pair, see light washes. Check the women's size chart or men's size chart before ordering. Mid blue also fades gracefully, so the jeans look better with age. Wash them inside out in cold water to slow the fading.
