Even though everything in my closet is plastered with some type of pattern, I do have a few classic, solid items that I believe everyone should have in their wardrobe. Most important in this list: denim! I feel like so many people think that “denim” only refers to jean pants, but that is FALSE! Denim pieces are great staples to have in your closet because they can add a casual or even a chic look to a particular outfit.
Gucci’s spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection, inspired by the early ’70s with high-waisted bottoms, belts and large, symmetrical buttons, really inspired me to incorporate some of their ideas into my everyday look in creative ways. Giannini’s designs are some of my favorite, and the denim in this collection really stood out to me. I even decided to try a skirt that was similar to one featured in the collection, which was a denim skirt that included large belt loops in the front with a statement solid color belt. I then paired it with a black high-neck, button-down shirt, which is also featured in the collection as well. This combination, along with a slick middle parted pony makes the outfit look chic yet fun at same time.
Everyone needs to put their own touches on inspired looks; in order to personalize this outfit, I decided to go with wedges instead of a slim heel. Also, the Gucci models wore little to no jewelry while I decided to wear gold posts and gold rings to reflect my personality and personal style. Lastly, I paired the outfit with an Italian leather cross-body bag with brown coloring and floral print, designed by Patricia Nash.
Anyone can incorporate denim into their look. It can be a denim colored button-down, a skirt, jeans or even a jacket. A denim jacket can pair perfectly for cool summer or fall nights and add another layer to make an outfit more interesting. Getting inspiration from fashion shows and collections is really useful when trying to stay up-to-date with the latest trends!
