Spring/Summer 2015 designer collections brought destroyed denim to the forefront. While these styles were extreme and unlikely to take over denim fashion, the more subtle, 'mainstream' weathered look continues to evolve into Fall/Winter. Distressed denim, frayed hems and raw cuts are on trend this season. Sitting just around your ankle, skinnies, boyfriend jeans, and straight cuts with frayed hems are easy going and laid-back. Paired with an oversized sweater, sneakers or booties, distressed denim is one of my favorite trends this year. Of course, you can trim your favorite jeans to create this raw edge look yourself, but without proper treatment the hem will continue to fray. Prefab versions most likely have stitching or treatments to keep the look consistent over the years. Once considered punk or just simply 'old jeans', rips, tears, raw edges and even patches are all trending denim looks for Fall/Winter.

Spring - Sans Skinnies
April 07, 2015
The never-ending skinny jean trend has been lingering around far too long and lets face it, they're not the most flattering jean. There is an array of denim styles to choose from this season; the cropped boyfriend jean for a loose fitting casual look, the oh so chic flare jean (makes everyone look better, taller and skinner) and the denim track pant (my favorite). It's time to retire your skinnies - think of it like a 21-day cleanse - from skinny jeans! Push your skinnies far into the back of your closet and opt for a modern denim style that's comfy and flatters your figure.

Trend Inspiration - Denim
January 21, 2015
The denim midi skirt has secured a spot as one of the top denim trends of 2015. The 70's inspired midi skirt seen on many runways for pre-fall went from below the knee, all the way down to the floor. The skirt was shown with buttons, seams, in many shades and in a variety of silhouettes.
How to wear this trend:
Wear a v-neck cashmere sweater (opt for a feminine, pastel color) tucked into your denim pencil skirt. Pointed-toe pumps in nude suede and a structured top-handle handbag. Pictured here: (NET-A-PORTER) Tibi Denim Midi Skirt and J. Crew Cashmere Sweater.
For a flirty look, opt for a fluted silhouette denim midi skirt, paired with a fitted sweatshirt in neutral colors. Pointed-toe pumps and a structured tote. Pictured here: (NET-A-PORTER) Michael Kors Fluted Denim Skirt and Phillip Lim Sweatshirt.
A patchwork denim midi skirt with a frayed hem is a statement on it's own, so keep it simple on top with a tucked-in gray t-shirt. Accessorize with a cross body bag in pale rose or peach. Pictured here: (NET-A-PORTER) Saint Laurent Patchwork Denim Midi Skirt and Rag & Bone T-shirt.
