Denim is an all time classic, but there’s different styles and ways to wear them. Here’s DDW’s favourites.
Denim has always proven to be a popular material for those that like to ensure they are amongst the most stylish in the world. Indeed, one of the great things about denim is that it never really goes out of style, thus remaining a material that you can be safe with when picking out an outfit that you want to wear and capture attention in.
However, with that being said, there are always a few denim trends that come and go each year. Naturally, the different styles in which denim can appear is something that you should always be considerate of, especially as some pieces typically go out of fashion rather quickly.
If you are looking to update your denim collection for the new year, these are the five styles you need now.
Straight Leg Denim
Straight leg jeans have been having a moment for the past few years and they do not seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. They are comfortable, flattering, and versatile enough to be dressed up or down. Furthermore, straight leg jeans are not pricey, as it is possible to find numerous pairs that are affordable, thus allowing you to stay as stylish as possible without breaking the bank at the same time! If you do not already have a pair (or two), now is the time to invest as they can be considered a safe item and something that has to be a part of your wardrobe.
Upcycled Jeans
Upcycled jeans are one of the hottest denim trends right now. Basically, they are regular jeans that have been refashioned into something new and unique. You can find upcycled jeans with everything from embellishments to cut-outs to patchwork. They are definitely a statement piece, but they are also surprisingly wearable and can show off things such as personality or things that you enjoy as part of your lifestyle. Just make sure you style them with more subdued pieces so you do not look like you are trying too hard.
Super Baggy Denim Jeans
Super baggy jeans are making a comeback in a big way. These oversized, slouchy jeans are comfortable, relaxed, and perfect for everyday wear. Just make sure you balance out the volume with a fitted top so you do not look like you are swimming in fabric. Trust me, no one wants that.
Light Jeans
Light wash jeans have been trendy for the past few seasons and they are not going anywhere anytime soon. They are ideal for spring and summer because they pair well with everything from floral tops to strappy sandals. Plus, they have a casual yet put-together vibe that is perfect for any occasion.
Flared Jeans
Flared jeans are having a moment right now thanks in part to their retro feel. They might have had their time in the 1970s and they can be tricky to wear, but when done right, they look amazing. If you want to try the trend but are not sure where to start, opt for a pair of cropped flares. They will be easier to style and will not overwhelm your frame like full-length ones can.
Conclusion
As you can see, there are plenty of denim trends to choose from this year. Whether you want something retro or modern, there is definitely a style out there for you. So get shopping and update your denim collection today!
