Jeans are no doubt an integral part of every person's wardrobe, but when you get tired of your dark wash skinny or bootcut pair, you might be inspired by these acid wash innovations to invest in a pair of retro-inspired slacks.
These 80s revival jeans are certainly not for the faint of heart, and should be reserved for those who like to be adventurous with their fashion sense, but when done right, they can look amazing.
These acid wash innovations also demonstrate how to pull the look off with a vest or shoes if you don't want to take the plunge into intense acid-washed jeans. Whatever your style may be, there is surely an acid-washed look for you.
