light wash
Barely tinted fabric
Light wash describes denim that has been faded to a pale blue, typically through bleaching or stone-washing processes.
The term appears almost exclusively in clothing descriptions: light wash jeans, a light wash denim jacket.
Light wash styles evoke casual, vintage, or 1980s-inspired aesthetics, contrasting with darker, more formal denim finishes.
