10 Denim Pieces That Every Woman Should Own
THE DENIM SHIRT
image
There is no easier way to dress down an outfit than with a denim shirt. Wear with a leather mini skirt and boots for a day-to-night look, or keep the look pared back and team with a white T-shirt and black skinnies.

THE SKINNY JEAN

Current fashion trends dictate that the skinny jean is out, but ask any denim brand and they'll tell you that it's a style that's still selling fast. The most timeless will always be an indigo blue version, cropped at the ankle.

THE BOYFRIEND JEAN

Add a tomboyish touch to pretty white blouses, fine knitwear and off-the-shoulder tops with a pair of boyfriend jeans. Dress them up with a pair of heels or choose amplified insouciance and wear with Converse and a leather jacket.

THE DENIM JACKET

An oversized Levi's denim jacket will serve you well for years to come, whether styled over feminine summer dresses or worn with straight-leg black trousers and a classic white T-shirt and pumps. We also like to pair ours with a pencil skirt and fine knit for a dressed-down office look.

THE HIGH-WAISTED FLARE

We are not talking low-rise flares made famous by Britney Spears in the early Noughties. Look to Jane Birkin as your flare muse; MiH's high-waisted faded flares work well with off-the-shoulder tops and fine knitwear, or for more inspiration consult our flares style guide.

THE DENIM SHIRT DRESS

Think a 70s Linda McCartney wearing a denim shirt dress with a pair of espadrilles and a straw bag, or Alexa Chung, who styles hers with opaque tights and black ankle boots. A denim shirt dress is a versatile piece that works hard during summer and winter.

THE DENIM CUT-OFFS

Regardless of how many pretty summer dresses you pack in your suitcase, you'll always come back to a pair of perfect denim cut-offs. They work well with white simple T-shirts, summer shirts and silk slip vests. Paige and Gap offer styles that aren't too short for everyone who wants to wear theirs beyond the beach.

THE STRAIGHT-LEG JEANS

A reliable pair of straight-leg blue jeans will remain a wardrobe mainstay for years to come. We prefer ours cropped at the ankle and either with loafers or boxfresh trainers.

THE A-LINE DENIM SKIRT

Flattering, timeless and versatile, the A-line mini skirt can be worn with polo necks, tights and ankle boots come winter and with trainers, pumps or espadrilles during the warmer months.

THE MOM JEANS

Channel the 90s and invest in a pair of high-waisted, tapered jeans - not straight-leg or skinny, but rather slim fit. They cinch in the waist to give an hour glass silhouette, but still have a relaxed appeal. Style with boots and tucked-in jumpers in winter, then with high-top sneakers and pretty blouses come spring.
