Summer is almost over. However, the warmth is far from over. So how does one look good when summer is almost over but fall is not yet here? It’s really simple. Just go back to the age old classic – Denim! Go through the three simple ways you can use denim to your benefit during this period, and you will surely turn heads no matter where you go. So whether you wish to be girly, glam, or chic, here’s your essential denim guide.
If you want to look girly, you can surely use denim’s versatility to your advantage. To get this look you should think back to your prom, to ruffles, and to anything with silver accents. Wearing denim skirts works well with this look. A great ensemble could include a layered skirt worn with a flirty top, coupled with strappy sandals and a silver clutch. In going for the casual look, you can wear a layered or a ruffled denim dress. This is an ideal everyday look, and is also great for your lunch dates.
Denim also works well if you are going for the Glam look. Every woman wants to look glamorous, especially when going out in the evening. To get this look, look towards the 70’s for inspiration. Strapless and asymmetrical tops, flared high waist jeans, shiny accessories, etc, are things you should think about. A good ensemble in this case is high waist ‘sailor’ jeans worn with a jersey top with one shoulder, coupled with a sparkling handbag and heeled sandals, all in coordinating colors. This is your first step towards any evening gathering. Remember, do not overdo your efforts or you could end up looking clownish or overdone.
Many women, both, young and old, want to look Chic. Denim, once again, can be used to great effect. If this is your cup of tea, then make sure that your silhouettes are kept slim and sleek. ‘Dark wash’ denim jeans, tailor made blazers, and luxury fabrics are the way to carry off this look. A great ensemble in this case would be wearing slim or straight leg jeans along with a blouse or a cashmere shell in an earthy color, coupled with a pair of leather stilettos and a single breasted blazer. Try to mix different patterns and colors to figure out what looks best on you.
This now prepares you to take on the end of summer with a new gusto. The best part about following this trend is in knowing that you already have various clothes in your wardrobe that you can use in creating these looks. So go ahead, experiment, have fun, and bring your old denims back to life in a plethora of ways.
