Light Blue Jeans

The light blue jean encompasses stonewash and bleach – the most eye-catching finishes across denim. From the Ksubi’s Van Winkel to the Rolla’s Stinger, the light blue hue adds a freshness and a new energy to denim, which many feel is perfect for mirroring the warm summer weather. There is no reason to put them back in the drawer during winter of course.

The light blue wash has a history steeped in the development of the stonewash jean that took off in the 1980s after the advent of punk. Kicking itself into subcultures around this time, the stonewash found its home on the pins of skinheads and punk rockers before moving across to football casuals. By the late 1980s and 90s the stonewash jean had become the go-to for all denim wearers, after a successful step into the mainstream.
