Denim Tuxedo

A friend and I were just discussing the new (ok, revived) trend of denim shirts. She was a little skeptical while I was a little excited! This is not the grungy, worn with a plaid flannel skirt and Doc Martens look we saw in the 90s or the rock 'n roll look we saw on and off stage in the 80s. This is, a more pulled-together and dare-I-say, feminine look when worn with something fitted or sparkly. From Preppy to Trendy, this shirt can work for pretty much everyone. The one thing to avoid, wearing head-to-toe denim. No one likes a denim tuxedo. NO ONE.

Here is some runway inspiration from Alexander Wang, Chloe and D&G

If you're looking for something a little more subdued, try a chambray shirt. It is a more relaxed fabric and doesn't have as much detailing.

I am having one of those I wish it were warm days so this look isn't exactly appropriate being that it is 20 degrees here
