The big comeback: Jean Jackets

So.. remember that jean jacket you had back in high school that you tossed in the “Good Will” box in the basement when spring cleaning, thinking you would never be caught dead in it again? Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, it’s back. For all you pack rats that managed to keep this classic wardrobe piece tucked in the back of your closet just in case, I applaud you. The jean jacket can easily be thrown over a cute, vibrant tank or floral skirt/dress.

Double Denim

We all know Double Denim has made a huge come back lately and almost every celeb out there is wearing it. I have to say I was never a big fan of Double Denim at all… until recently. I think the key to getting it right is wearing two completely different shades of denim. Black jeans and a blue denim jacket seem to be a big hit, I think this looks great, as seen on Vanessa Hudgens, Dakota Fanning and more. You don’t want to have matching denim shades in your Double Denim outfit, it will clash and look really wrong. The only way I think matchy denim will work is with a little denim vest, as long as you pair it with a top of a different colour so you break up the shades, Ashley Tisdale make this look hot! Really dark jeans and a light denim shirt is a must do as well! These two shades of denim really make the outfit stand out. So remember the key to wearing Double Denim, dark denim at the bottom and light denim at the top. Always a winner!

The new Trend: Bleached Denim

Bet you never thought you’d be excited to see bleach spots on your clothes post-wash, right? After getting the scoop that bleach in back, I’m kicking myself for foolishly tossing all those clothes I cried about when they came out of the wash with phantom bleach stains. If only I’d known that my washing machine was simply ahead of the times.

Why We Love Bleached Denim:
Besides the fact that we’ll never have to worry about bleach incidents ever again, the bleached denim trend keeps our favorite figure-flattering jean new, and it’s a perfect compliment to this season’s grunge, and 80’s trends.

How to Bleached Denim:
Pair skinny styles with oversized, off the shoulder tops and stray away from patterns. Or pair with a fun graphic t-shirt for a rockin’ look.

Don’t worry, this one is safe to wash with colors!

The Boyfriend Jeans Trend

How to wear this trend:

There are a few simple rules to follow, and some even simpler choices to make:

• Choice: The jeans don’t have be your boyfriends. Not because you mightn’t have one, but because you’re soon going to be able to find jeans made for women that channel the look. But if you’re after real authenticity hit your local denim store and shop in the men’s section. Holmes herself is wearing jeans by PRPS.
• Choice: If you are going to buy a pair, don’t feel the need to buy new. A vintage pair from your local charity shop will have more authenticity.
• Rule: Look for a straight leg. Bootcut or flared jeans aren’t in the least bit flattering for this trend.
• Rule: Turn them up at the bottom. Remember, this is a Spring-Summer 2009 look so you’re not going to get cold from a bit of exposed ankle. And you’re not going to communicate the ‘oversized’ message unless your jeans are turned up.
• Rule: When you do turn up the bottom of the jeans, they have to sit just above the ankle.
• Choice: Yes, all the celebrities in the above photos have gone for jeans which include the 2009′s ripped jeans trend. You don’t have to.
• Choice: Consider what you’re going to pair them with. One thing Kate Holmes did get right most of the time was to pair her boyfriend jeans with an overall feminine look. That’s the one I’m preferential to; there is nothing, however, stopping you from pairing it with a tight fitting tee or hoody and really playing up the masculine role.
• Rule: If you do choose to pair your boyfriend jeans with other masculine pieces make them tight. You have to show off your feminine features otherwise you’ll come off looking like a bum or, worse, a stoner.

What’s a boyfriend jean? In a nutshell, it’s either literally a pair of guy’s jeans, or a pair of jeans that looks and fits like it was borrowed from a guy – loose fit, low rise, cuffed hems. Of course, this look doesn’t exclude single ladies. There are plenty of budget-friendly boyfriend jeans available for purchase in stores everywhere – no boys required.

Back In the 70′s

Back from the 70s, the skinny jeans trend is here to stay. Although everyone was skeptical about it at first, now none wants to let go of this sexy style. Skinny jeans look great on both tall and short girls as it elongates the legs creating a taller and leaner look.Ladies with heavier hips, thighs and butt, please avoid this style as the focus on your tiny ankles will make your curves look bigger than they are. Looks fabulous on boyish figures as it assents the hips. Can be worn on any occasion, on heels and flats, however if you are short or petite, opts for heels as they will make you look a little taller. Skinny jeans are absolutely fabulous – as long as you know how to work it!
