If you could only have one pair of jeans this summer?
Would you go with a darker wash or lighter wash?
I'm going to buy one pair of maternity jeans. I typically wear them on Fridays at work, and maybe on the weekend. I don't really go "out" much anymore, because I'm pregnant. I like to wear a darker wash when I go out. I'm leaning towards getting a lighter wash for day-time summer wear. What do you think? These are the ones I am thinking of.

Re: If you could only have one pair of jeans this summer?
I have both. I prefer the darker ones- the Demi panel on the lighter one is pretty tight and bothers me when I sit. Neither of them stretch out on me, which is good
Eta: I like the wash on both, but the full panel will probably be more comfortable as you get further along
Dark. Esp. if they are full panel (it will feel a lot better once your belly gets bigger). I'm not sure where you are getting them, but I got maternity ones (I think AGs or Citizens) bootcut on nordstrom.com and got the length tailored) But I also got an inexpensive gap pair as well (demi panel straight leg).
They both held up pretty well.

I always prefer darker.
FWIW, I bought a pair of 7FAM jeans during my first PG, and I rarely wore them. I hated full panel both times and my favorite jeans ended up being cheap-o ON maternity jeans w/ a hidden panel (it was both the most flattering and the most comfortable). I also like the Gap long and lean with the shortest panel on it. I hated anything pushing on my belly though..
