When in doubt, wear black
Wearing light wash jeans with any type of black top is not only always flattering because well, it’s black, but you are guaranteed to be looking super fashion-forward.

Your favorite sweater

If you want to jazz up a pair of basic denim, go for a striped sweater or something with texture!
Plain White Tee
We all know how reliable our favorite white t-shirt is. It is useful during all seasons, never goes out of style and you can do so much with it.

You can throw on a hoodie and put a blazer over it. The hoodie can be solid, and the blazer can be printed or vice versa. The possibilities are endless when it comes to mixing and matching with a pair of light wash jeans.
