Howdy, Denim Dan !

Alas, the 90's have returned to us. Remember when everything you owned was denim ? You had the overalls, the dresses, the jackets, the vests, the shorts, the skirts, and duh, the jeans.. and you wore them with everything ? Well now's the time to rummage through the closet and bring them out of hiding. 
Denim is making it's debut in fashion again, seen on many runways, including my favourite,  Alexander Wang. It's not just about actual denim pieces, but also about the denim look with items such as:
Alexander Wang
Suede/ Leather jacket


Members Only Denim Leggings

Being such an advocator for the leggings as pants movement, I especially love the denim effect leggings that are showing up, of course with American Apparel being the first to pave the way, many have followed and improved them by making them even more jean like with buttons and a zip fly. 

Another part of the denim trend happening right now is ripped/ torn/ completely destroyed denim look, especially in vintage levi cut offs. These are best worn with baggy Ts or oversized tops, even cropped Ts, which I love. 

Here are some ways to wear your denim: 


Looking for more unique denim pieces ? Well here are a few of my favourites:

The best way to be unique in the way you show off your denim is to DIY ! Take any pair of jeans, or jacket, or whatever your heart desired and make it your own by destroying it, make jeans into ripped cut offs, make jackets into vests, or just add or rip them as well. Endless possibilities !
