Our favourite weekend fall-back has quickly become the trend to wear in Spring/Summer 2010. Denim lit up the catwalk this season showcasing patches, distressed treatments, and enough cuts to have every fashionista singing the blues.

Designer Ralph Lauren introduced us to a softer side of denim by mixing floral prints with distressed denims for a fresh, feminine look while D&G rocked their urban denim styles with leather accessories and denim handbags (see image above).

The versatility of designs that fashion houses displayed makes denim an easy addition to both day and night looks. Whether paired with smart trainers or peep-toe heels, this street-chic trend is a must for updating your look this season!

Seeking a bit of style inspiration? Here are our top 5 denim looks for spring:

1. Stylish Rebellion – Fun screen printed tees and distressed denim goes hand in hand. Denim can be purchased pre-distressed, or simply create your own signature style with scissors and your favourite jeans.

2. Gorgeous spring frocks take on an edgy-sweet when topped off with a denim jacket. For a figure flattering fit, select jackets that have plenty of seams and darts for shaping.

3. Shiny denim jeans with heels are perfect for grooving the night away. Look for this finish in dark blue hues and intense black denim.

4. Keep denim day-time chic by pairing your dark wash denims with a tailored blouse and smart pumps. To ensure a polished appearance, jeans must be hemmed long enough to wear with heels.

5. Denim skirts look fantastic with Spring’s embellished flats and flirty wedges. Elongate your leg-line by pairing a knee length denim skirt with wedges or a heel. In contrast, denim minis are best balanced with flats.

Keep in mind that the above is merely a starting point, and that denim is a trend that every woman can truly make her own. With its revamped look and versatility, our favourite throwback to comfort has once again secured an eternal spot in our wardrobe as a stylish staple.
