Denim Guide

posted by Blueprint on July 29, 2010
  • Skinny- go for a downtown-cool effect with layers of frilly, flouncy, vaguely retro tops
  • Trouser- keep with this style’s crisp feel by adding all-American items, like a button-down and classic jean jacket
  • Cargo- choose flat, streamlined side pockets—they’re more flattering—then mix in girly details for a sweet gamine aesthetic
  • Flared- emphasize the ’70s allure of this cut with officewear-gone-sexy pieces: stacked heels, a curvy vest
  • Tuxedo- create an offbeat suit by pairing the jeans with a slim shirt and tailored blazer
  • Patched- offset their vintage, worn-in look with posh accessories like a smart little bag

This quick guide to types of denim should allow you to focus on the embellishment of the denim and how you can ‘bring it to life’ by keeping the outfit true to the denim… Head to Lucky Magazine for more styling suggestions!!

Yoox’ “9 Style Bytes at 9 am”

I love this Armani top at Yoox.  It’s great for summer under a suit in the sweltering summer heat, on the weekend with a white skirt, or for drinks with a denim pencil skirt and statement necklace!

I’m ready, are you?  At $105, it’s a bargain….(available in black and grey)

Note: this one is dedicated to my friend Najeema who has been in search fabulous items to wear to work that can combat the heat and steam up a room when needed!!
