Five Ways to Elevate Your Go-To Denim Look
If you love denim as much as we do (which is a lot), then we've got good news for you: this season, *everything* is denim. From maxi skirts to bandeau dresses and waistcoats to overshirts, you'll be able to squeeze at least one denim item into every outfit from Monday to Sunday. If you still see denim as "boring", then let us change your mind with the five ways we're elevating denim now.
The Embellished Jean
Update your usual "jeans and a nice top" outfit with embellished jeans. They're just like your favourite jeans, but jazzier. Perfect for bringing a little bit of sparkle to your after-dark plans (which start at 4pm now, thanks daylight savings), wear them with a simple tank top, heels and an oversized blazer. On casual days, wear them with trainers and an oversized t-shirt. Who knew embellished jeans were so versatile? ...We did.
Denim, Doubled
The easiest way to elevate your denim look? Add more denim. We know some people consider double denim to be a faux pas (they're wrong) but trust us when we say that this controversial look is going to be seen on every it-girl this season. Plus, your denim pieces don't have to be *exactly* the same wash to pull it off: matching denim should be like sisters, not twins... kind of like eyebrows.
The Denim Dress
Got 5 minutes to get dressed? We've got just the thing: the denim mini dress. Throw it on with a pair of knee-high boots and a chunky knit to become the picture of autumn in nearly no time. This one is designed with a collared neckline, cinched-in waist and patch pockets; a classic in our books.

Coated Denim
Three trends, one jacket. Combining grey hues, metallic finishes and denim in one show-stopping jacket, this is denim like you've never seen it before. It shows off an iconic style with a slightly oversized fit that makes it even easier to layer over autumn knits. Wear it like you'd wear a blue-wash denim jacket - over everything.
The Denim Maxi
We know you've probably heard this a million times, but you really do need a denim maxi skirt. It's the simplest way to switch up your look, without veering too far from your comfort zone. Style it with a simple top (t-shirt or tank top - you choose), leather jacket and trainers for an easy outfit you can wear everywhere. In need of something smarter? Simply swap the jacket for a blazer and the trainers for heels.
