Fashion trends come and go but you can’t go wrong with a little bit of denim.
A staple in everyone's wardrobe, straight-cut jeans and denim jackets work for every season, even as temperatures drop.
The flexibility of pairing a denim jacket with a knitted dress for a cute and casual look or throwing on your favourite mom jeans with a blouse and blazer to take your business casual style up a notch are some of the best things about this classic clothing item.
“Denim is just a sturdy form of cotton, so, it can be used in place of almost any other material,” Diego Abba, luxury fashion house Italist CEO, tells Harper’s Bazaar.
But you don’t only have to stick with the basics when it comes to denim. Items like denim maxi skirts, dungarees and oversized shirts will have you looking like a style star no matter the season.
As autumn and winter roll in, there’s no need to sacrifice fashion-forward looks just because it’s getting a little colder.
