“Denim everything” is a true style statement, and we’re here to guide you in effortlessly weaving it into your wardrobe.
Who doesn’t love the timeless appeal of jeans? After all, they’ve been a staple in our wardrobes for generations, embodying the essence of American fashion. However, this season brings a refreshing twist: Denim Everything! Gone are the days of the all-denim ensembles reminiscent of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in 2001. Instead, the key is to pair denim pieces together tastefully, avoiding any hint of overkill. When done right, mixing denim on denim results in effortlessly chic combinations that are sure to garner compliments.
So, this week, we visit Denim Everything, from jackets, shirts, shoes, and bags to the jeans we just can’t live without. Each piece will serve you endlessly as an integral part of your wardrobe and works beautifully using the “mix and match” concept we visited in last week’s blog post, Elevate Your Everyday: Ladylike Elegance Meets Quiet Luxury.
QUICK TIP
As you visualize your denim looks, keep this tip in mind; pair your denim pieces in groups of two to avoid denim overkill. For instance, you can pair jeans with denim shoes and add an iconic white T-shirt or crispy white shirt to complete your look. You may also choose to wear a denim jacket over a dress or a skirt and accessorize with a denim handbag. Or you might try one of my all-time favorite denim looks—jeans paired with a denim shirt worn over an iconic white T-shirt.
You can see where my thoughts are headed with these suggestions. There is no overkill here—just simple, adorable denim pairings that will make you feel confident in how you present yourself.
Ready to dive in? Let’s go!
Denim Jackets
I consider a denim jacket to be a wardrobe essential. This is an incredibly versatile and timeless piece, as it can be worn with pretty much any article of clothing in the casual section of your closet. Wear your denim jacket over dresses, skirts, jeans, linen and cotton pants, and shorts. It is the easiest third piece to own. You will love the variety of styles you see!
Denim Shirts
Layering a denim shirt over a classic white tee easily elevates your style game. You’ll step out the door looking effortlessly chic and feeling like a million in no time. Leave your shirt unbuttoned nearly to the waist, creating a deep “V” that elongates and slenderizes your silhouette.
Short-sleeved denim shirts offer a modern twist on the timeless appeal of their long-sleeved counterparts. Get ready to turn heads!
Denim Shoes
What a fun way to build your denim look! The looks I found will wow you and get you thinking of how you can wear these adorable treasures.
Denim Bags
I am possessed by these bags, from backpacks to shoulder bags and more. They are the few and the fabulous, and I think you will agree!
Jeans
We’re covering all the silhouettes—straight-leg, bootcut, wide-leg, cuffed, and a few ankle-length.
Wide-leg jeans are still the hottest ticket from the trends perspective, while bootcut jeans are the most flattering to all of us. Straight-leg jeans are everywhere, and the rolled or ankle-length silhouettes really pop this style.
I have grouped the jeans into high-rise and mid-rise categories (to simplify things for you), and over the years, I have found that most of my clients fall into one camp or the other. For me, it is always about the mid-rise silhouette, as I feel the high-rise look distorts the dimensions of one’s body. Having said that, I have clients who are only interested in high-rise jeans. That said, you will find all the styles of jeans listed above in those two categories.
Keep in mind that because we live in our jeans, finding those treasures that speak to our style-loving souls is key. If you find something you love, be sure to jump on it before it sells out!
