STYLE GURU STYLE: Destroyed Perfection

July 6th, 2015 at 2:10am

Anyone into fashion is well aware that the fashion world thrives one year ahead of the real world, but one common trend seems to be reinvented season after season. Destroyed denim has seemingly become a staple in spring and summer fashions; a single pair can be worn again and again and can be reworked into something fresh every year! Virgil Abloh has shown us that recycling denim and pairing it with black, white or neutral colors can prove for a very stylish and light outfit. His off-white collection features a plethora of reworked denim, abstract silhouettes and plain colors and prints that demonstrate you can never go wrong with the basics.

There is really no secret to wearing destroyed denim. The hardest part may be finding the right pair for your body and style. The perfect pair of destroyed denim should feature an ultra comfortable feel while presenting an even edgier style. The best way to keep your destroyed denim outfit from looking too busy is to stick with the basics. Busy patterns and bright colors may make your outfit look too busy, so it’s best to stick with blacks, whites, neutrals and blues. More recently, destroyed denim pants have even been seen with similar destroyed denim tops and jackets to present a super edgy style.

Destroyed denim has become virtually impossible to miss, so finding the perfect pair shouldn’t be too daunting. I paired mine with a black and white striped top, a brown hat and a brown leather watch to create the perfect summer traveling outfit! Contrary to popular belief, not all stripes will make you look larger than you are, as long as you stick to a thinner line. Striped T-shirts present the perfect alternative if you want to rock destroyed denim and skip the solid top.
