It is impossible to imagine a modern wardrobe without jeans. Any fashionista's closet must have several pairs of different styles and colors. Incredibly comfortable and practical denim items can make a competent and profitable ensemble with almost any other. But once upon a time such clothing was considered “unskilled” and was worn by representatives of the lower human classes.
What is denim style?
This is a look made entirely from denim. However, in choosing the details of a women's ensemble, it is important to understand one feature. Things should be fashionable, perhaps “diluted” with denim classics. An image from a cheap wardrobe from 10 years ago and its corresponding styles absolutely does not fit into the concept of “denim style”.
The denim genre for women has its own characteristics:
- Things match current trends this season.
- In the image no old fashioned details.
- Color predominantly indigo, blue or similar ones. A combination of things with black, white, gray and others is allowed. But a blue/indigo denim piece is a must-have.
- Underwear (undershirt, T-shirt, blouse) has the right to exist. The item should be minimalistic (in terms of size and color) and made of thin fabric.
- Can be used in bows parts made of other denim-colored material. For example, a fashionable sweatshirt “looks like distressed denim” is a great addition.
- The “correct” fabrics are cotton, high-quality knitwear, leather, suede. You can add any of them to the kit.
In general, it is permissible to call any image in this style that contains at least two large denim items.
What can you create an image from?
The denim ensemble is simple to put together. Almost all denim items can exist next to each other. The most popular are:
- Trousers. A variety of styles and colors from light blue to dark blue. Of the models in trend today, boyfriends (mostly light shades) and skinny (dark). There are also mums, pipes, shortened ones and many others.
- Jacket. Mostly classic "masculine" style with pockets on the chest. Can complement absolutely any women's denim look.
- Shirt. A universal model for casual looks. More often has classic cut, short length, pockets with leaves on the chest. Today this is worn with trousers, shorts, and even with any skirt - from a pencil to a tutu. Pairs well with skinnies and beige pumps.
- Dress. There are many models - from a long shirt to a sun flare. One thing unites them - lightweight style. Denim is not easy to sew, so clothes made from denim come in the simplest cut and mostly with patch pockets.
- Skirt. Recently gained popularity short mini with fly in front. Looks good with a shirt in the same style or a T-shirt and a denim jacket.
Trends 2020 in the world of denim
In 2020, this style is at the peak of popularity. This total look looks great in casual looks, club ensembles, and relaxed dress codes. The following trends can be considered current:
- Denim items in different colors. The shade should be at least slightly different. This nuance has been trending for more than one season. But the total look still managed to make its way into the fashion of 2020. On the catwalk there were models completely dressed in blue.
- Using elements of a different shade. For example, sleeves, pockets, trims.
- Welcome presence of leather, embossed, painted details on a denim item. Suede pockets on the chest, painting on the back, fringe around the overlays, huge denim bows at the waist, flounces, chiffon ruffles and inserts gained success.
- Lots of pockets. They are not just overhead, but voluminous and with large valves. They can be present in any quantities and be of any size. Of course, this is optional.
- Very old parts. The designers used not only scuffs, but also “dirtiness”. Of course, this is not natural dirt, but just color.
- Fits well into 2020 fashion two color trend. For example, a dress may consist of half light and half dark material. Or is it “ombre” - gradual darkening or lightening from top to bottom or vice versa.
- Using items not made of denim, but denim color.
- Turn ups on trouser legs – is already a classic of our time.
In general, there is a tendency in denim fashion to return to the past.Wide trousers with a tapered bottom, a pronounced codpiece, high waist, and aging are becoming popular. I would like to note that The holes that were fashionable in previous years are no longer particularly relevant.
Shoes and accessories
In denim style they are appropriate from:
- genuine leather;
- high-quality suede;
- denim;
- dense textiles (burlap, cotton, canvas);
- straw, twine.
Of course, leatherette and other substitutes for natural fabrics are acceptable.
Despite the fact that the material is much simpler than genuine leather or suede, products made from it cannot be cheap. Prices for jeans shoes are on par with leather ones. It is often sold only in brand stores.
Jewelry that will fit perfectly into a woman’s look natural stones, leather goods. Of course, gold and silver. Pretentious bright and expensive things can coexist with a denim look in a glamorous style. For casual wear, high-quality jewelry is acceptable.
A few words from history
Initially, rigid dense matter was intended as fabric for making sails. Due to its strength, wear resistance and reliability, it was successfully used in the manufacture of ship equipment. Later - for the clothing of sailors, service personnel, even workers.
One day, a certain Levi Strauss decided to take a risk and invited the world to wear things made from this tough material.
American industrialists appreciated jeans - “long-lived” trousers that could withstand even the “little end of the world.”
In the second half of the twentieth century, “hippies”, as a sign of protest, introduced denim trousers, overalls, and later other clothes into their closets.Thanks to the informal movement that was fashionable at that time, as well as fashion designers who sensed the potential in denim, these items became widely popular.
Today, denim style is practically a symbol of the eternal. Not a single seasonal fashion show is complete without new models made from this material. They are practical, fit perfectly, hide imperfections and can even be combined with any clothing.
