The power and possibility that lies in a pair of jeans is endless. They are, point blank, the backbone of a wardrobe. If you think I'm being dramatic, just think of all the outfits you can make with fantastic fitting jeans. A good pair can take you from running errands in sneakers and a tee to a night out in heels and a stylish top. The styles may change, but jeans are forever.
Currently, light-wash denim is everywhere. And if you haven't snagged a pair yet, this upcoming spring is the time to do so, because light jeans and warm weather just make sense. From classic button-downs to corsets to tees, all the hottest styles for spring 2022 pair perfectly with light-wash jeans. Think bright colors and playful patterns, casual crops, and structured tops. Live a little and try denim on denim—with light-wash jeans as your base, you can't go wrong. For some inspiration on how to wear light-wash jeans this spring, I rounded up the best styles and options to nail the casual-cool look.
A crisp button-down with straight jeans is an effortless yet sophisticated outfit for spring.
Love this pink stripe for spring. Go for a casual unbuttoned-with-a-white-tee look or do the French tuck into your jeans.
A classic white button-down is a forever wardrobe piece.
Add a baseball cap for ultimate cool-girl vibes.
Flattering Pinch Waist jeans balance the loose-fitting button-down.
Colorful, punchy tops are hot this spring. Make your top really pop with light-wash jeans.
Everything about this top is rich—the color, the shoulders, the corset-style seams. Wear it with high-rise light jeans and strappy sandals.
I can't get enough of this bright green that's everywhere for spring. And the drama of those puffed sleeves?! I'll leave it to a review: "I’m obsessed. I want it in every color."
Sunshine in a top!
Let your bold top shine with simple, classic jeans.
Dress up light-wash jeans with a statement asymmetrical top for one of those dreamy spring nights.
The chopped-off sleeve is a powerful look, and that vibrant orange will pop against light-wash jeans.
Elegant and sophisticated.
I'm obsessed with this color, the side ruched detail, and the one-shoulder styling. This is the perfect night out top that'll turn heads.
One review said, "these are the perfect spring jeans," and I couldn't agree more.
Graphic tees are going to be a staple come spring, and light jeans complete the cool-girl look.
Happy vibes from a fashion favorite.
I love the contrast between the black-and-white image and the bright-red writing.
Brown is very in for spring.
Pair your tee with a slouchy, relaxed style.
Relish the return of warmth and wear a cropped shirt with loose-fitting light-wash denim.
The combo of a long sleeve and a cropped bodice is endlessly appealing.
Light-wash jeans plus a minimalist yet unique white tank (this one has raw edges and a curved hem) never fails.
A gorgeous top for sure. I'm drooling over the back.
Wear a baggier pair of light-wash denim with cropped tops.
Don't knock denim on denim before you try it (and love it).
A darker denim bustier with light-wash jeans is definitely something to try this spring.
I love how the denim is unexpected in this shape of a shirt.
The true Canadian tuxedo is a go-to for fashion girls.
Relaxed jeans for the girl pulling off denim-on-denim.
Slinky blouses with an eye-catching design were made for light-wash jeans.
Date night–ready.
This eye-catching bright-blue floral print is '60s retro.
A striking silk shirt doesn't need much. Wear this tucked into jeans, or let it flow naturally. Go for sneakers for a day look or heeled sandals for a night look.
A glowing review: "Obsessed. Let me tell you… I can’t stop wearing them. They are so comfortable, so on trend, and go with everything."
Spring 2022 is having a structured corset moment and baggy light denim is what to wear them with.
Romantic toile print and a corset shape collide with retro mint and lavender colors.
Corsets don't have to be delicate.
Pink and orange is always a good idea.
With a snatched top, try a baggy bottom.
