Belden Straight Leg Jeans Dark Wash

Editors Notes & Details

The dark indigo straight leg that works as hard as your best trousers. The Frankie Shop's Belden is cut from a heavyweight cotton denim in a deep, clean dark wash — no fading, no distressing, just a rich indigo that holds its colour and its shape. High-rise, straight leg, floor-length. The jean that bridges the gap between denim and tailoring without trying.

Why we picked it
Because a great dark wash straight leg is the most versatile piece in the denim shop — it goes to work, it goes to dinner, it goes on a plane. The Belden has the right weight and structure to feel considered rather than casual, and the clean dark wash means it reads almost as a trouser from a distance. The tonal hardware keeps it sleek throughout.

How to style it
Wear with a pinstripe oversized shirt and a brown leather tie as styled here — the contrast of the dark indigo with the cream stripe is the whole look. Equally strong with a dark denim jacket for the tonal double-denim moment, or a cashmere crew and pointed boots for the smarter version. The dark wash makes it the easiest jean to dress up.
