SKINNY

 

Versatile, flattering and easy to find in a range of prices. The skinny jean is a wardrobe staple today. Teamed with an ankle boot and chunky cable knit or with sneakers and a tailored jacket, here's our new favourites.

DISTRESSED

 

There is something very sexy about distressed denim (ripped jeans). However, we like to elevate the rest of our fashion look. Aim for a tailored, chic look when wearing ripped jeans for evening or the office. Think metallic heels, statement jewellery and a tailored jacket to accentuate your waist.

EMBELLISHED

 

Embellished jeans are the statement piece in any winter wardrobe. As a general rule, lighter shades of denim draw attention, while darker denim washes give a slimming effect. If you are considering wearing double denim, wear dark denim jeans, and a light denim jacket.
