As Fall fades and Spring well uh...springs, so do new trends. The SS10 collections have shown many prevalent trends such as white slates, brights and digital prints for this upcoming Spring season. One of the most amusing trends that I spotted in the collections was the bold incorporation of denim. The fabric appeared in shirt, dress, and outerwear form on the runway and it should definitely make an entrance to your closet this spring.
D&G by Dolce & Gabbana SS10
The key to making a statement with denim is to mix the washes, if you don't you might look like you're wearing overalls.
With this look I picked a D&G dress from their Spring collection and found a comparable and affordable alternative (Oasis, $17).Tan leather compliments blue denim very well, so try a braid belt for a chic-er look and to contrast and define your waistline. For those cooler days try on an over-sized cardigan (Miss Selfridge, $44)and wrap with the belt around for a different look. A brown sandal (American Eagle, $30) or wedge (Asos, $65) can also add intensity to your look. Accesorize your outfit with floral headbands or jewelry for that spring feel.
For a different look you can simply swap out the dress for a denim skirt and a white shirt or tee. And fortunately for you, Urban Outfitters (left) has once again stolen a design and this time it was this skirt from Stella McCartney's SS10 collection(right).
Other more commercial designers have also picked up on this trend, like Guess by Marciano in this 2010 advertisment.
The following look was somewhat inspired by the Guess ads for their SS10 collection. So, another way to wear denim this spring is by adding a vest to your closet. Vests can help you beat the chill without too much coverage as well as adding a cowboy-ish touch to your outfit. Try it with a simple black tank (H&M), white denim for the bottoms (delias, $35) and a black bootie (Zappos) or sandal (H&M) to show off a effortless but street chic look. Feel free to play around with dark and light washes of denim, and don't forget your tan leather bag (H&M)!
What are you wearing?
