With a new season comes new trends. Among those are brown sneakers, chunky knit ponchos, and barn jackets.

But there’s another trend that you’re sure to see all over your FYP, and that is dark wash denim.

Of course, jeans are a wardrobe staple that go with literally every outfit. However, this fall, you’ll be seeing the timeless piece everywhere this season. The only difference? They’ll be in a dark wash.\
