Check out Edgars Executive Manager: Trends, Sandra Rogers’ fab winter denim trend advice and practical tips on how to pull off the looks.
With the return to authentic blue denim, we love the look of denim worn head-to-toe. We’re loving the different shades of denim this season – from dark to washed and faded, there is a new look for every occasion.
The denim shirt and jacket return as classic items for a denim wardrobe and are either authentic western styled or detailed with lace or studs; don’t forget to finish your western look with the cowboy boot as a key item to complete the look.
We love the newer, neutral natural colours with rich accents, cosy knitwear layers, fur trim and fair isles. Backed up with denim, this is an easy layering story to wear with fur trimmed boots and handbags. Top with a biker jacket for the easy winter wardrobe. Super-stretch denim for comfort is key and new are the animal prints and foulard patterns.
How to pull it off
Use these subtle tips to incorporate key trends into your wardrobe…
Colour Vibes
Coloured denim is back and hotter than ever with the colours turning darker and inkier. The trend has moved from pastel hues to darker hues such as wines, plums, browns and burgundies. Earthy tones and deep blue are also key to this trend.
- Pair Kelso coloured jeans (R229.95 each) with clothing and shoes in neutral colours such as black, brown or grey
- Go for darker hues
- Try colour blocking
- Mix it up with a pair of heels or boots
PS – Why buy one when you can get two pairs of your favourite jeans at everyday prices – look out for the Great Price button!
Jackets Rock
Denim jackets are rocking this season…
- Pair with a blouse and pants
- Glam up a plain denim jacket like this Free2BU denim jacket (R449.95 each) by pairing with an evening look or accessorising
Sexy Combos
Head-to-toe denim is hot. The idea is to rock a complete denim look – denim bottom with denim top. For instance, black jeans and a blue denim jacket look really great together – Kristen Stewart has made this look work very well for her.
- Pair dark jeans (Free2BU R299.95 each) with a light denim shirt (Free2BU R299.95 each)
- Layering different denim shades
Layer Player
It’s all about texture and layers this season and layering with cosy knitwear is a bigger-than-ever styling trend. You want to layer but avoid looking too bulky.
- Pair a boyfriend cardigan with coloured skinny jeans and a jersey top
- Drape a cardigan over a denim shirt, Kelso (R349.95 each)
- Style a chunky cosy sweater with a belt and jeans
