Trendkutu: Denim in Demand

Denim trends this winter are anything but plain. With varied textures, lengths and details, it's time to put those blue babies into acid-free paper and into storage for future wear.

Silhouettes


Silhouettes generally remain long and lean, tucked into ankle or thigh high boots, cuffed or calved, cropped at the ankle, with or without backzips, low-waisted or with a high-rise, while the bootcut silhouette remains a possibility too.




Colours and Textures


Faded black is a key trend and sets the tone for a subtle feel in casual dressing. To contrast - acid washed, marbled, mottled, camouflage, tie-dyed options - all make a comeback in monochromatic themes.



Textures are ripped, destroyed, distressed, studded and riveted.




As an alternative to denim, there is the "jegging" - or as we prefer to call it, the denim-printed legging - which would keep long days a lot more comfortable, while creating less bulk and optimising movement. (Will we see the dreaded return of the looped ski-pant in the near future?)
