Jeans for 3 Winters

I have no clue, Christine. This may be one good example of how difficult this is. Looking at this again I am thinking: why indeed not BSp? It has a greenish tone to the blue, well, so does one of the TW navy choices. Perhaps I was swayed by how nice and deep blue they looked next to that white T-shirt. Put it with a bright BSp coral, and call it BSp., not sure why I did not see that...

If a winter is hankering for traditional bluejeans, this might do the job. Nicely saturated, inky blue, barely a hint of fading. Pair it with a crisp white shirt or tee, and wear it until it fades too much to look nice. Might also be nice for Dark Winter

Or looking at these again, I might even say they are best for Bright Winter. Something about the clarity of the blue.

TW has navy that is more green and one that is more red. This reads as being on the slightly greener side. Dark jeans like this one are so valuable for all winters because they give the opportunity for high contrast outfits, worn with crisp white T-shirts, or one of the icy light colours, or one of the brighter colours. So, contrast in value and contrast in hus can be achieved.

Ah, crisp white high waisted jeans for a TW. With a black tank top, and a red bandanna around the neck. Add a pair of black sunglasses and black/white sneakers. How a Winter rocks a summer outfit.

Christine: I see them the same way, Jorunn. Where pink-mauve-blue is the umbrella that brings together the Summer closet, and orange/brown the Autumn group, the Winter colours tend be purplish. The blue is dark and quite blue, with a trace of Autumn's warmth.The warm tones are discernible, and they are a muted, earthy orange, not a crayon or candy. Dark Winter and Dark Autumn feel pretty good.

A bit faded but not bad.

Dark, absolutely not faded, crisp. Love it.

True Winter can handle the maximum contrast. So the darkest possible jeans with one of the clear, cool colours top. A top in the fabulous TW green with this pair of black jeans?

Darkest possible blue, barely noticable fading. Could work for TW

Be still my heart: Waxed charcoal grey jeans! Perfectly off-black for Bright Winter, and shiny! The holy grail of BW jeans, these ones.

Ah, silver jeans, a BW dream!

Black jeans. Love it. Although it would be even better if the upturned cuff had more contrast with the black of the jeans.

The two white buttons.

Perhaps not jeans, but the colour is close to the blues of BW.

I like the crispness and non-fadedness of these ones for a Bright Winter.

An example of how difficult this is. I put these in here thinking they would be close to the stone colour of DW. Then Christine brought to my attention that when looked at next to the DW colours these jeans kind of dissappear, fade away and makes the bottom half of the body look almost naked. Hm. How true, now that I look at them again. Truth be told, both of us had trouble placing these into any season. Perhaps they would actually be "least offensive" in LSu or even TSu was thrown into the conversations we were having. The jury is still out for now.

Very saturated and not faded. Love these. Christine made the comment that this nice mix of the rustic side of DW in small proportion with an essentially Winter jean. The jean esthetic of copper stitch allows that to sneak in here where it might look odd on a coat.

C: These are so similar to the pair in the TW catalog, similar white T-shirt draped over waistband, the model wearing black heels with wide strap over the foot. To decide, I had to open the 2 retail pages side by side. This pair is pinker. I see them easily in Dark Winter and possible for certain Soft Summer looks on a woman with higher natural contrast.

Christine pointed out the good DW-TW relationship with the shoes in this photo. Yummy.
