I do love a pale denim jean with a woven white top. I think cut and condition of the jeans will make all the difference to keeping the look sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142918 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 23:45:39 +0000 cciele 142918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the medium-dark camp here. I don't own any light-wash jeans (except for white ones). But I do own light-wash clams that come out in the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142902 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:54:09 +0000 Mellllls 142902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others that it depends on what you mean by light. I have one pair of dark, dark boot cut jeans that I cannot bring myself to wear now that the weather is warmer. But the jeans I am wearing are still medium-dark, just not dark-dark. I hope that makes sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142898 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:50:55 +0000 Beth 142898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually stick to medium and dark washes. I like the contrast with lighter, summery tops.</p> <p>I'm not sure how light you mean, though. I'd still define Louise's skinnies as a medium wash, so we might all have different mental pictures of "light." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142875 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:37:15 +0000 Queen Mum 142875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*I* don't wear light colored jeans summer or winter because I think they are not as slimming as dark wash. The women I see pulling off light wash have very slender legs. How light are you talking? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142844 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:20:21 +0000 Dawn 142844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Louise gave a good example there- lighter wash denim can look sophisticated if the skinny jeans are in good condition and fit well. Even then, I still think it would be a sophisticated casual look rather than being suited to the smarter workplace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142839 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:12:27 +0000 Inge 142839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Marlene,</p> <p>I don't think they are out of date if you wear them with tops and jackets etc. that look current, and I'm convinced it can be done in a more sophisticated way (if you're a bit worried lighter denim looks "too young").</p> <p>I'm sure other ladies will chime in with more ideas soon.

My skinnies are fairly pale <a href="http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/tt22/loulou4022/YLF/What%20I%20wore/April%2010/001-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i594.photobucket.com/al...../001-1.jpg</a> or do you mean paler? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142819 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:20:14 +0000 Anonymous 142819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be watching too. I've been thinking of a light wash jean for summer, but not with faded areas, if that makes sense. I'm thinking they may be ok if evenly colored. The trick is to find them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142818 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:08:53 +0000 Debora 142818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, double post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142817 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:07:39 +0000 Debora 142817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marlene, I'll be following this thread with interest. I've been wondering this myself, being over 50. My initial gut feeling is that it would be a casual summertime option.Thanks for bringing this up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-lighter-wash-jeans-in-the-summer#post-142816 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:04:10 +0000 Marlene1 142816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In cool weather, I'm always in dark-wash skinnies, but when warmer weather rolls around, I like a light, faded worn-in wash in a bootcut, generally worn with thong sandals.<br /> Is this hopelessly out-of-date? As a middle-aged woman, should I stick to a more sophisticated dark wash? </p>
