I was reading Vogue's Snapchat feature a few weeks ago and came across an article highlighting up and coming trends. One of them, which linked into the western 'cowboy' trend, was dark denims. I have seen lots of photos of women looking amazing in dark jeans in the past and assumed they would soon be the in thing, however, I haven't actually seen it dominating the fashion industry yet. Knowing that it's likely to become more prominent over 2018 I decided to buy some dark blue Urban Outfitters 'flood' jeans. It's important to note by dark I don't mean black, it's more of a 90's natural indigo dye. What I really love about dark denims is how the stitching contrasts the material. The lines created give the garments a minimal style, the subtle white stitching is enough to finish of a look. Of course, I couldn't just leave my outfit as jeans and a t-shirt, it's just not my style. So I paired the dark denim with a baby pink top with 'love' embellished on and I layered it with a turtleneck in a deep shade of purple.

There's lot's of ways you can style this trend: jackets, jeans, coats or even accessories, but I went for a pair of jeans. I personally prefer wide leg or mom jeans oppose to skinny jeans at the moment so the Urban Outfitter's 'flood' jeans were exactly what I was looking for! They fit really nice and unlike lots of cropped jeans they don't make my legs look short. At £50 I think they are on the pricier side however with student discount and a jean sale I got them for £36 (I was particularly pleased with myself). I do think they're worth their original price because of how comfortable they are and how perfectly they fit my body. 

So if you're looking for a new jacket or pair of jeans, choose the indigo dyes with 90's nostalgia written all over them.
