10 TRENDY WAYS TO WEAR

- BY FUNKE BABS-KUFEJI & DESIREE IYAMA

1 DICED, SPLICED AND EMBELLISHE­D JEANS

Not for the faint of heart, embellishe­d denim has been making its comeback, but we’ve never seen it so extreme! If patches and rhinestone­s aren’t doing it for you, look for denim-on-denim texture as a softer alternativ­e.

2 THE SHIRTDRESS

Another must have denim trend for this month is the denim dress. The best thing about a denim dress is that it never goes out of style. So, whether you opt for a cute button down denim dress or a denim shirtdress, you are sure to get noticed in this faultless ontrend style.

3 THE DENIM SHIRT

The major staple item for this month is the denim shirt. A tailored shirt goes a long way, but a boxy or oversized denim shirt can be styled in different ways with the right pair of jeans, skirt and accessorie­s to glam it up.

4 BOYFRIEND TO RAW EDGE

Key styles over the past few years have been about the full length skinny or flared styles. But now the cropped look has given denim a small but significan­t change. You see all over the place that these cropped jeans are a slim cut or a slight kick at the bottom just above the ankles. A subtle flare can add a stylish sculpture and shape to your outfit. If you are on the short side, why not pair the flare jeans with some killer heels to add length to your legs and accessoris­e with a fringe bag, to give a boho-chic look. You are bound to turn heads that way. There is nothing better than a pair of classic raw denim flare.

5 DENIM ON DENIM

The versatilit­y of a denim shirt is endless and perfect to keep your wardrobe updated. Take inspiratio­n from the above street style looks to look effortless­ly chic and on trend.

6 CUT-OFF DENIM SHORTS

Whether short and high-waisted, cool and loose, distressed, or some combinatio­n of each, a pair of denim cutoffs can effortless­ly carry you through the entire season, from days at the beach to nights on the town your options are endless. Plus, they’re one of the few pieces that are absolutely timeless - you’ll never hear anyone say denim shorts are “so last year.”

7 DISTRESSED

It is the perfect excuse to add a cool and grunge vibe to your old or your boyfriend jeans. Just a couple of slashes or hundreds of tears, you are sure to be on-trend this summer. If you cannot be bothered to add some DIY to your daily routine, why not opt for a ready-made design.

8 DENIM OVERALLS

Crop tops and denim overalls make for such a great match. The ripped denim dungarees can be made to look smart and sophistica­ted if worn with a classic white shirt and tailored blazers for that easy, laid-back sense of composure.

9 DENIM ACCESSORIE­S

When grabbing a denim accessory, try to keep the rest of your look understate­d. For the bold, that mix-match, keep the embellishm­ent to a minimum if you’re going to do so.

10 DENIM SKIRT

From mini to midi skirts, the denim skirt has been reinvented, and has become the go-to item for street style fashion bloggers. Depending on your figure and personal style, you can opt for high waisted, knee length, slightly above the knee, below the knee or pencil cut. It’s all-good. Pair a mini with sneakers, and a pencil cut with a nice silk blouse and heels, and you are good to go. You cannot go wrong with this versatile denim skirt trend.
