The reign of the skinny jean is still going strong but this season we’d like to see them being given a healthy dose of tough love. Team dark coloured skinny jeans with oversized jumpers and chunky biker boots in order to achieve a minimalist take on the classic rock chic look. Keep hair loose and natural but add a smudgy eye line for the perfect beauty look to accompany this hard-edged trend.
The straight leg jean is the denim-wear of choice for those who are hoping to get maximum versatility from their jeans purchase. A straight leg jean can be tucked into knee high boots but will also look great over your best pair of stilettos. They are smart and streamlined whilst also being a tad more forgiving of bums and thighs than the super-trendy skinny version. If you go for a pair of straight legs in black then you’ll soon find that your new denims also double up as great office wear.
The high waist jean is a retro-inspired look being championed by a range of fashion forward brands this season. This is a look to go for only if your legs are long and your waist is shapely, otherwise it has the potential to be enormously unflattering. But if you’ve got the physique, then style up your high waisted jeans with cropped jumpers, loose fitting chiffon blouses tucked in at the waist and snappy cropped jackets with vintage style embroidery across the lapels.
Remember that you can always add a modern look to an old pair of jeans simply by making strategic footwear choices or by adding the right belt. Jeans are perennially in vogue and endlessly versatile so whether you’re investing or customising make this the season to get creative with your denim-wear.
There are a variety of different denim trends rocking up the fashion market this season and a vast and creative range of ways to wear them. And the beauty of this particular look is that it doesn’t matter whether you shop in a charity shop or department store like Next, there are jeans of all different price tags on offer for fashionistas of all different economies.
