Trend Tuesday - Denim

Denim has been around for forever and is definitely a staple is everyone's everyday wardrobe.  This season denim has been seen all over the runway, from 70s flared jeans, to boyish cutoff shorts.  For, what I'm calling, Trend Tuesdays, I 'm going to focus on the fabric we all love, where you can buy the best pieces on the high street, and what are the best ways to wear it.

I recently styled a denim story for Phoenix Magazine.  I created the moodboard below for this story with looks from SS16 collections.  Frayed denim was big on the runway as were various washes.

One of my favourite images from the shoot.  Check out the whole story on my website here.  I love this images because it has an Americana theme to it, to me it says modern Western wear and an ode to America using red, white and blue, fringe, and stars and stripes!

The high streets is perfect for on trend denim.  You won't have to pay a lot to get a trendy pair of shorts or denim dress that may not be quite in fashion next year.  So you should definitely have fun with it.  These are my top 5 ways to wear denim this summer.

#1 Frayed denim jeans in an updated length

#2 Denim Vest with character

#3 Denim Dress

#4 Denim Wide Leg Trouser

#5 Denim Swimsuit

Bonus! - and just because I am a bit obsessed with these shoes at the moment.  They are by Cleo b and you can find them at Anthropologie, although they might only be available in Europe.  I think they would go great with everything and definitely transition well into fall.

Hope you've enjoyed this first edition of Trend Tuesday and found some inspiration to inject into your summer wardrobe.  Be sure to check back regularly as I try to be more attentive to this blog!
