Hot Spring Trend: Denim

Friday, February 25th, 2011

And we’re not talking jeans…

A few weeks ago, a friend came to me for some fashion advice (nothing out of the ordinary). She said that her friend from London told her that jean jackets were exploding and asked if it was the same way in the US. Not recalling an overwhelming revival of denim other than in it’s natural form, I responded, “Not that I am aware of.” Well, it was as if someone smacked me in the face when I walked into Bergdorfs in NYC last weekend and every designer had their signature piece in denim. From PRADA handbags to an Akris suit to Christian Louboutin pumps (!!!) to a Burberry trench, every line that we love is featuring their “IT” item in this trendy textile. I mean M.A.C. even made it into a makeup (called Jeanius – how cute), so I should have seen this coming. So ladies, dig out those jean jackets and splurge on one piece that you never expected to see in denim. Hopefully history won’t repeat itself and it will look a hell of a lot better than it did in the 80s! Below is my must-have of the moment: the Current/Elliott Circle Vest. Happy Friday!

As the temperatures rise, it’s all about effortless style… and there is nothing easier than denim shorts. Although I love dresses, it’s been a much needed relief to see a revival of shorts this summer!

Surfing through my daily reading, I’ve spotted some of my favorite bloggers sporting denim in some really refreshing ways. (click on the images above for a better look)
