Denim Tips

Jean jacket: If you have a denim jacket that you’ve had for years, chances are that it’s stretched out, boyish, and boxy. Try taking it in and thinking of it in a whole new way. Wear it in place of a blazer or a fitted jacket.

Baggy trouser jeans: It seems that lots of denim favorites are loose-fitting, soft, and casual. These jeans are usually paired with flat sandals, flip-flips, casual boots, etc. Elevate them to new levels by pairing with heels, a skinny belt, and silky feminine layers of lace or velvet for an unexpected look. We are seeing lots of luxurious fabrics for fall — this is a great way to try them out. You will instantly feel more pulled together, and the jeans will transform into beautiful wide-leg trousers.

Denim dress: The ’80s and ’90s was our time to go denim-crazy! Perhaps you have a denim dress that just doesn’t inspire your style these days. Try to mix this with layers to create the illusion of a skirt. If it is a fitted dress, pair it with a blazer and a pretty tie-front blouse. You could even throw a long sweater over top and add a belt to nip in your waist.

Black jeans: Most people have black denim pants in their wardrobe. They are undeniably flattering and go with nearly everything. To take these to a new level, we recommend pairing them with an utterly chic top and unexpectedly sexy pumps — dress the whole look way up.

Denim shorts: Cutoffs, short shorts, Bermudas, you name it — jean shorts are all over the place this season. They are the ultimate casual go-to for hot temps. A great way to make them look more sophisticated is to pair them with a preppy fitted blazer, a bright silky top, and some daring strappy flats. This will pull the look together a bit more.

Light-wash blazer: A laid-back light-wash blazer looks striking over a sparkly blouse for evening — it’s alluringly nipped in but with casually rugged pockets.

Skinny jeans: Add a dreamy peasant top and killer heels to super-skinny jeans for a feminine bohemian look.

Pencil skirt: A denim pencil skirt usually looks best — not to mention, iconic — with a crisp feminine top and understated accessories.

Blue and black: There is nothing wrong with mixing black denim with blue! It comes together to look artsy and creatively stylish. Pair the combo with a classic white top.

Menswear vest: A snug denim vest gives shape to the flowy dresses that we all invested in last summer. Try to pair these together — you will look effortlessly cool.
