5 Types of Denim to Add to Your Closet - A New Look for Each Weekday 

• Light Wash Mondays 

  Types of Denim - Light Wash

  Light wash denims are the lightest-hued blues of the lot − think a clear, blue sky on a sunny day. We really like this 100% cotton button-down shirt from Pepe Jeans, ideal to wear when it's really hot out. PRO TIP: pair light washes with dark wash denims to create contrast. Alternatively, you can pair them with complementary whites.

• Medium Wash Tuesdays

  Types of Denim - Medium Wash

  Medium wash denims are neither too light nor too dark, striking the perfect balance on the colour spectrum. That lends them versatility, allowing for pairing with a wide range of hues. We recommend this long denim jacket from Forever 21. PRO TIP: leave it unbuttoned and wear it with a patterned tank and a short black skater skirt.

• Dark Wash Wednesdays

  Types of Denim - Dark Wash

  Dark wash denims are the most grungy of the lot, and also happen to be the most popular. We recommend these regular-rise Slim Fit Jeans from Marks & Spencer that flatter your silhouette while offering a relaxed fit. PRO TIP: pair it with your favourite sneakers + this checked black / red cotton shirt and roll up its sleeves when it gets hot.

• White Denim Thursdays

  Types of Denim - White Denim

  White denim is the most striking denim type you can invest in − its brightness alone is enough to turn heads. But naturally, its clean sheen means it requires relatively higher maintainence round the clock, so if you're always spilling things, perhaps this isn't for you. PRO TIP: pull off white-on-white by pairing this cute shirt with white skinnies.

• Black Denim Fridays

  Types of Denim - Black Denim

  What's not to love about black denims? You can pair them with any other wash / any other colour you choose. Or go ahead and piece together an all-black denim-on-denim outfit, that's fine by us, too. PRO TIP: if you love very dark palettes, wear black denims with dark blue washes − this will maintain a moody aesthetic while providing some contrast.
