JEANS
Most women have a love hate relationship with jeans. Nothing feels better than finding the perfect fit, so we advise to have at least three pairs to suit your mood and body fluctuations. For comfort go with a boyfriend fit which is loose and relaxed. For an evening we love a super stretch, high waisted look in black to keep your silhouette looking lean and elegant. And for everyday our favourite look right now is patched denim with frayed edges or perhaps a flared leg to keep you looking bang on trend.

DENIM SHIRT
The relaxed look of a denim shirt is perfect for busy women on the go, and speaks to our favourite trend, the Canadian tuxedo, (wearing double denim). From a classic shirt or an off the shoulder top, add this piece to your wardrobe and you can't go wrong.

JACKETS
As an investment piece, a denim jacket will be in your wardrobe for years to come. A fitted style works with a summer dress or try an oversized look with your favourite skinny jeans or fitted leather pants.

CREATIVE DENIM
This season denim has a creative twist. From patches to sequins and artful prints, there are some brilliant executions with this trend. For the artistic inclined you could even try some DIY customising - dust off your Fluffet pens (fabric pens) and get creative.
