This summer denim is back in a BIG way – staple jeans, little shorts, mini skirts, vests and yes even the jacket is back! But as with all trends, it’s back but just a little bit different. Here’s our top 5 tips on how to wear this season’s denim so that you rock it and look uber-cool.
1. Let there be light
This season denim is a light wash. Say goodbye to your dark indigo wash denim (at least for now as next winter will continue to see dark jeans reign) and grab yourself a lighter wash jean. Whether it’s a skinny, straight, flared or bootcut that takes your fancy, make sure it’s light like these Sportsgirl jeans.
2. Dazzle with embellishments
Another key trend is metal studs or buttons or any other metal embellishments on your denim. Top tips – square studded detail on back pockets feature on Sass and Bide jeans, so look for this trend as many other denim labels have followed suit. To stay super on-trend, keep your embellishments in this season’s hot metal colour of gold (or bronze).
3. Jackets are back!
Dig out your old denim jacket (or better yet – get a new one!) and enjoy wearing it again! It’s back and it’s definitely cool. Throw it over your floral floaty summer dresses or rock it with a short mini or shorter than short black hot pants if you have the legs and a spray tan. In other words, work the denim jacket back into your look as a lighter option for Spring / Summer and put away your leather jacket for now. If you are going to invest in a new, updated version of the denim jacket, be sure to take note of point no 1 and ensure it’s in a much lighter wash than your old denim jacket, like this jacket from Alibi.
4. Deep Distress
Take a trip down memory lane and get some distressing back into your denim. Whether it’s on shorts like these from Sass and Bide or jeans, a little distress detail will work wonders to make this 90’s trend so right again for 2009. This time around however, the distress details is smaller and more evenly distributed across your denim, versus the large holes in our knees that we sported in the 90’s.
5. Denim Shirts
Light weight denim shirts will also be all over the high street shops this summer. Wear it open like a light jacket and never wear it buttoned up. If you remember the days when everyone owned a light coloured chambray shirt, don’t despair – this new take on the denim shirt is edgier, tougher and when worn with some serious accessories it will take your denim look to new heights.
Whether you embrace one or all of this season’s new ways with denim, one thing’s for sure – there’s not going to be a way to escape this eternal favourite. Happy Styling!
