STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Denim Report

Get ready to unleash your inner GUESS girl this summer because denim is back in trend! Whether it’s a jacket or a pair of cute cut-off shorts, denim pieces are great to have in your summer wardrobe because they give a young, casual look. They come in different washes and textures, meaning you have a range to experiment with. The textile can be dressed up or down and, depending on the type of garment, can be worn for almost any occasion.

This Fashionista rocks the trend with a light wash denim crop top paired with white high-waisted jeans. The slight bagginess of the top creates balance with the skinny jeans and makes the overall look proportional. A simple navy cardigan helps emphasize and bring out the shade of the denim crop top by staying within the blue color family. Her black booties add some edge and keep the outfit daytime appropriate.

To keep things simple, this Fashionista carries everything in a canvas tote. It adds a neutral element to the look and goes really well with the rest of her light colored ensemble. By not wearing any accessories or statement jewelry, all the attention goes to her clothes. This technique is great to keep in mind when you want to show off a piece you really want people to notice. You don’t want accessories to act as distractions because the main focus should be the clothes!
