No sooner have we begun to process the wearing of ruffles & pastels, than we are told it absolutely has  to be denim.

Okay but when hasn’t denim been in, did you notice people had stopped wearing it? It has changed it’s guise over the decades, been stoned washed (but that is best forgotten) coloured, skinny, boyfriend, baggy, frilly, ripped, used by designers, which didn’t make it any more special just gave it a hefty price tag. To interior designers like Ralph Lauren for house wears.

But the good news is we are all up to date & IN fashion. I mean who doesn’t already have several pieces, be it a jacket, skirt or jeans in their wardrobe? And just know if the cut of jean you bought last season isn’t in this season, stash them away & wait awhile as they will undoubtedly come back around.

Best not wear it head to toe, unless you are going to a hoe-down.

Now comes the question what do we wear with our denim?

Look no further than a recent edition of Vogue. For on the front cover Alexa Chung was wearing clogs, with denim of course. But love ‘em or hate ‘em clogs are said to be all the rage this season. Everyone from designers such as Chloe & D&G to high street shops like Top Shop have their own version. But unlike the 70’s/ 80’s style they now come with more of a heel, making you less likely to walk like a duck when wearing them.

They will look good with jeans, leggings (providing YOU do) cropped, shorts, whatever.

So a good basic when packing for your summer getaway. And if your calf’s are on the fuller side they have a flattering slimming effect – I’m all for that!
