Denim Daze: Essential Trends

12.Apr,2012

Denim has come along way since its creation as industrial work-wear in the late 18th century; this strong, natural and versatile fabric is now considered an absolute staple for any fashion-forward wardrobe.

The great thing about denim is that you can wear it with practically anything and achieve effortless, laid-back style. We’ve rounded the essential denim trends and tricks that every girl should know.

The Denim Jeans
Skinny, baggy, boyfriend; blue black or multicoloured; the denim jean is a truly iconic piece of clothing. Take care in choosing your style – opt for jeans that you feel comfortable and sexy in.

The Denim Jacket
A great transitional piece for those days when it’s not quite warm but not quite cool. A denim jacket can be thrown over almost any outfit – try teaming yours with a cute dress and booties, a silky blouse and mini skirt or a simple tee and pants combo.

The Denim Shirt
A great layering accessory, a light, slightly fitted denim shirt can be worn as an open outer garment, or underneath a jumper or jacket. Loosely tuck a denim shirt into your bottoms, or tie a knot at the bottom and team with a high-waisted skirt.

Double Denim
Good old denim on denim; there’s no doubt recent runway trends have embraced the controversial trend. If you’re a double denim fan but you’re not quite sure about execution, try breaking up the look with a tan leather belt. When it comes to colour shades it’s best to remain polar – either match your denim exactly or opt for totally different hues.
