Since I'm in my 20's I think I could get away with it. No wonder I've been having a hard time finding dark jeans. At my size light to medium wash seem to be just about all that's out there at the moment. I was too young in the 80’s to remember this trend (born in ‘85) and I like it in a casual setting.

I have tons of dark washes in the closet, and have started to crave a more dressed-down look. I did wear them in the 80s, but there are lots of variances of light blues -- not all are as faded as those shown -- and I think it's OK, as long as we leave the ripped ones to the young.

I have a pair of light jeans and they do make your legs look bigger. I have large leg muscles and the light ones make my legs look even bigger than my dark wash skinnies do. Plus, I wear jeans to work and the light ones look so casual. A woman I work with(who dresses way too young than her 40 years, but that's another story) will wear light ones with holes in them to work. It just isn't work appropriate to me, but we have no dress code so who would say anything. The jeans are ok, but I prefer dark wash now.

I would only wear the jean on the far right. I think for those cooler summer nights this jean would be a okay alternate. I would only wear the jean on the far right.

I had a pair of faded long and lean Gap jeans a few years ago and let's just say light jeans are wrong. Yuck, tremendously wrong on so many levels.

Was just thinking recently that I wanted to take my dark jeans that are slightly faded and dye them back to their original darkness! :) Count me out.

When this was in style last time around the dark jeans looked odd. I don't have a problem with this color if they become mainstream again. I never did like acid wash, blotchy. Yuk.

While the light blue color is cute, I agree with Maya that these probably would not flatter someone with a pear shaped figure. They would look good on very casual occasions, but I think dark jeans are much more polished looking and therefore more versatile. So I think I'm sticking to my indigo jeans for now!
