How To

If you’re over all your denim but don’t have the $$$ to invest in new pieces – it’s time to get creative. Convert old jeans into shorts and fray the edges (see our step-by-step HOW TO here) or experiment with dyes or bleach to achieve a new wash.

Don’t be shy – the Canadian tuxedo can be oh so cool. To pull it off, go for similar denim tones paired-back with classic wardrobe staples like a black skivvy or a white tee (this will keep it looking clean and chic). Accessorise with a belt (to break it up) and your favourite shades.

Try layering a dress or tunic over your jeans for a completely new look. Bonus tip: asymmetric styles work well (but this one’s all about trial and error!).

Boyfriend shirts and jeans are a match made in heaven. The shape and fit of the shirt can completely change the outcome. A fitted, buttoned-up shirt full tucked in reads ‘preppy cool’, while an oversized shirt half-tucked reads ‘put-together without trying’. Not sure where to start? See five different ways to wear a white shirt here.

For more casual vibes, try tying your shirt up in a knot (à la Coachella). If you’re knot so keen to show your midriff (see what we did there), pair it with high-waisted denim styles.

Embroidery is everything right now, and the best part is it’s easy to DIY. Get yourself some cute motifs (like these) and customise your denim with a couple on the pockets. Or if you can’t be bothered, here’s 11 embroidered items you can shop right now.

We ran out of good headlines, but you’ll never run out of cool ways to pair a scarf with your denim. Tie it into a neckerchief, wrap it around your hair, put it through your belt holes or tie it around your bag – it’s the quickest way to dress-up denim and a tee.

Sure, white, grey and black always look great with denim, but consider pairing it back with bright colours for something different. We love a pop of red under dark denim, or multi-coloured stripes like this outfit Carmen wore.

This might just be our favourite way to wear denim right now – grab a graphic tee (here‘s our favourites) and you’re good to go. Heading out? A black blazer thrown over the top will instantly elevate your look. Add a pair of pumps and statement earrings and voilà!
