Trend Alert : Denim

The summer is steadily approaching, and as expected, the fashion world is going through yet another style overhaul. Today, we are going to focus on the current trend of denim.

Yes, currently taking the country’s trend setters by storm is an intriguing blend – those two words fashion journalists never quite expected they’d ever use in a serious manner : double denim.

But trust us! Try it out. Tuck a lengthy denim shirt into a pair of super tight skinny jeans, and you are bang on this trend. Try to make sure either denim (the shirt and trousers) are as close to each other, colour wise. Note – this look is best pulled off when going for lighter, stonewashed fabrics. Finish the look by separating the shirt and jeans with a brown leather belt as to add a stylish block distinction.

If you’re not sure you could pull off all of that, why not try a chic denim dress? Look out for the mini sleeveless numbers in particular, and complete with a casual pair of white sneakers, or if later in the day, a hot pair of patent black heels.

Another way to embrace this style without going too over the top is by slinging a simple denim jacket over your summer dress. These super cute jackets are spread across the high street at the moment, with New Look selling some particular highlights (www.newlook.com). Be sure to grab something small and slinky – oversized boyfriend look does not go down well with denim jackets. Rock up your more girly outfits during the day, or finish a trouser-based evening outfit with your casual jacket as to add a touch of cool to your class.
