In literature, the phrase "faded denim" is often used to evoke a sense of worn-in authenticity and timeless utilitarian style. For example, in one work the term colors a billed cap, immediately suggesting an item that has seen much use and journeyed through rugged terrain [1]. Similarly, in another narrative it paints a picture of a character whose work attire—a faded denim shirt paired with similarly muted blue jeans—speaks to both the character’s hardworking life and the subtle wear of time [2].
