Denim trends are changing the way we think about jeans, shirts and jackets. Our favourite fabric receieves a style overhaul this season, and you need to know about the updates...
Denim is looking hotter than ever for summer.
From high street fashion favourite Zara’s slim-fit flares to Saint Laurent’s festival-ready thigh-skimming mini skirt with fringing – there is so much on offer this season.
On the catwalks, Stella McCartney championed retro-wash dresses, while Chloe broke all the rules, offering up 70s-style skirts and wide leg overalls.
Pinafores are totally creeping up our lust list at the moment thanks to MihJeans. Layer with a long-sleeved Breton tee for a sophisticated Riviera vibe or go bare during warmer climes.
Classic shirts will forever be a denim wardrobe staple and for SS16 we’re tucking ours into a pair or black flares. Isabel Marant Etoile’s mid-wash style has really caught our eye and Zara’s dark button-up is something we know we’ll be able to recycle year after year.
Want to nail a couple of trends in one? Invest in a 70s-inspired denim jumpsuit. We’ll be teaming Madewell’s version with a slick of bright lipstick and a pair of platform sandals.
