Let’s face it, this year denim has gone posh! After being spotted as a catwalk trend on Dolce&Gabbana and Prada’s spring 2015 menswear collection, it’s safe to say that high fashion has joined the rest of us this season. Due to its history, denim has always been inextricably linked to work wear and leisure time. However, it seems that denim’s old rules may no longer apply. This time around, there’s denim for every occasion.
Despite being the ultimate symbol of summer, denim has made its trademark as the modern closet staple for everyone. Whether worn classically with a band T-shirt or paired with any simple T-shirt, denim has never failed in ensuring effortless comfort. Now that double denim has been added into the mix, styling possibilities are virtually infinite.
Once stigmatized as the ultimate fashion flop, double denim has emerged as a cool and confident way to remain relaxed, yet stylish. The secret to pulling off this fresh look is balance. Lighter washes of denim draw attention to body types while darker washes create slimming effects. When paired with one another, the duo generates a style statement reserved only for the chic. This Fashionista includes a pair of skinny distressed denim jeans to urbanize the sleek look.
How To: If jeans aren’t your thing, don’t be afraid to double up your denim with a jacket or a skirt. If you think the thought of double denim is a bit much, try breaking up your ensemble with a crisp white T-shirt or button-down shirt. Adding an amazing pair of heels can glam up your look while opting for a set of lightweight sneakers or sandals can instantly give you an urban, street style vibe.
