If you read the headline and thought that white and black jeans are “out,” that’s not exactly what I meant. I’m not suggesting you should abandon those timeless pant colors this spring, but there’s an emerging and underrated denim color trend that’s gaining serious traction—and you’ll want to pay attention. Enter chestnut-brown jeans, recently spotted on Dakota Johnson.
While filming Verity in New York City, Johnson effortlessly styled chestnut-brown wide-leg jeans, pairing them with sturdy lug-sole boots and a cozy wool coat. The result was a casually chic ensemble that’s perfect for recreating on a crisp spring day.
