As I do my usual weekly float around the stores, I have found myself on several occasions pausing over the vast array of denim shirts deliberately placed next to the jeans section. Will I look a fool if I attempt the whole denim and denim look, or fast track 15 years since this trend was last in, finally make it look cool?
Needless to say as a stylist it is in my DNA to follow fashion and no matter what the trend I will always find a way to adapt it to suit myself! Plus of course I have to trial these looks for my clients to ensure their wardrobe always look current too!
So the burning question then; How to pull off this all- American work man style without looking like a walking, talking Levi advert? My suggestion is mix it up completely with washed out shades of denim in the style dresses, jeans, shirts even bags and off set it with a little bit of navy for a stylish sophisticated twist.
Try teaming a slightly washed out denim shirt with a pair of battered boyfriend style slouchy jeans. To give your silhouette a feminine touch, cinch in waist with a slim belt but maintain utility chic by choosing a double wrap style.

Denim dresses are a godsend for laid back weekend style. Team with leggings and ballet pumps or a flattering pair of wedges. Cover up with a stylish navy boyfriend blazer. Alternatively choose a structured dress and it will be a modern twist for the office.
