Here’s the thing about dark denim jeans: having at least one pair in your closet is always great. The dark color has a slimming effect, and compared to completely black denim trousers, they have a more versatile look.

One way to give this denim staple an edgy look is by copying Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s styling trick:

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was a vision of effortless style at LAX on April 18, 2014. She combined a cozy Anine Bing grey melange cashmere sweater with a bold Saint Laurent Spencer jacket featuring black leather and silver-toned studs.

Her Frame Denim Le Skinny De Jeanne jeans highlighted her long legs, and Brian Atwood Cosmic slouchy ankle boots added a fashionable touch.

Rosie completed her look with a personalized Jennifer Meyer nameplate necklace, a statement Eugenia Kim Emmanuelle rabbit-felt wide-brimmed fedora, and a chic Givenchy medium Antigona duffel in bottle green.

Her accessories included Balmain square sunglasses and exquisite Anita Ko jewelry, making her airport outfit stylish and sophisticated.

The jeans emphasized her gorgeous legs and gave the statuesque model an even more modelesque appearance.

As is her usual aesthetic, she wore a simple grey sweater and gave it an edgier panache with a Saint Laurent’s Spencer jacket, suede Brian Atwood boots, and a purple Eugenia Kim hat.

Rosie accessorized with Givenchy’s Antigona tote, a classic personalized necklace from Jennifer Meyer, and dark sunglasses. Leather jackets can make an outfit feel too biker-ish, so injecting denim pieces for a more balanced look is always great.

Dark denim jeans can drill a casual vibe into a leather ensemble. You can copy the entire outfit for a winning travel or errand outfit.
