DENIM 
FASHION

Denim is one of those materials that is like a great best friend, you never want to be without it. From denim jackets
to chambray shirts, the look of denim can be classic or rock star cool. Here are 3 ways you can wear denim that will
always keep you on the stylish curve.
Have at it like a hipster 
The versatility of denim is perhaps its greatest
feature. Take a cue from our model here and
chop the sleeves off of an old denim jacket and
make it a vest. Fray the arm holes with fine grit
sandpaper and put it in the wash for a cycle to
distress it further. Pair with skinny jeans in a
dark or contrasting wash to the vest and
accessorise with vintage inspired jewellery.

Choose Classic
You can always go with a denim shirt. Just
because you choose a denim shirt doesn’t mean
it has to be simple or boring. Denim shirts
range from a simple dark wash to an ombré
design like the one pictured here. Pair with slim
chinos or jeans that are of a similar wash.
Classic denim shirts work with a blazer for
casual Friday or sleeves rolled up with shorts
for a summer day out on the town.
