Dark Inky Jeans are The Most Flattering Denim Trend for Fall

Thanks to fashion week trends, dark-wash denim is having a high-fashion moment for fall, and we can't say we didn't see it coming. 

Deep indigo shades of denim return every autumn as temps cool and palettes darken. In short, an inky jean feels more elevated than lighter washes, making it a great denim option for day-to-night plans. 

Perhaps the best part about a super dark-wash jean is that the right pair can create that coveted long-legged, model-off-duty look.

For this season, the deep indigo look is straightforward for creating a leg-lengthening effect: look for a rich, deep hue, flattering cut and mid- to high-rise waist to create length, you may just be surprised by how flattering it is.

While it's true that bootcut jeans are especially popular during autumn, the dark denim trend can take on a number of styles. For example, a wide-leg jean with a high-rise waist creates a long, lean line and the illusion of added height.

For maximum flattery, go for Tommy Hilfiger's All-Day Sculpt Denim, which offers a sleek fit designed to carry you through the day comfortably and fabulously. 

For something casual to wear day-to-day, a classic straight-leg jean can be styled endlessly, while a pair of skinny or cigarette jeans become necessary for boots season.
