The seasons pass, tastes and styles change but the undisputed king of the wardrobe remains: jeans
In the closet the five-pocket never fails, because, as we well know, it never goes dark. Jeans are always in fashion, inimitable and irreplaceable.
Jeans in a thousand variations
The classic jeans this summer will have to "go further". It will also leave room for shirts. The most popular have ruffles, flounces or wings. Space also for shorts and skirts, vests, bikinis and even bags and shoes. All strictly in blue canvas.
Denim is experiencing a new golden age. It is becoming more and more chic and trendy, showing a surprising capacity for transformation and passing from the couture-inspired jacket to trousers with unprecedented volumes to fairy-tale dresses.
Fifty new shades of blue for that fabric that in the 60s represented youth culture. Before that it was a work uniform and a symbol of rebellion. How to forget James Dean in Wasted Youth of 1955?
It was in those years that fashion magazines such as Harper's Bazaar or Vogue began to offer ladies the first models of jeans for leisure and home use. Garments that immediately conquer actresses of the caliber of Grace Kelly, who wears them in the finale of The window on the courtyard. And Elizabeth Taylor flaunting them in The last time I saw Paris. Without forgetting the fisherman model by Brigitte Bardot in And God created woman. We are in 1956 and from then on the jeans will seduce everyone.
Denim is a constantly evolving fabric
The jeans it can be worn "24 hours a day", ie from day to evening and on the most diverse occasions.
The most requested shades is dark blue which, through the finishing treatments, appears in a wide range of shades. Give it stonewashed, that is washed with abrasive stones light-dark effect, al faded, which seems to be used.
After the paninaro boom of the 80s, today there is no designer who hasn't made it his own.
Whether it is embroidered, precious or hand-painted like a painting, therefore, denim, in its infinite variations, stands on the podium of desires. Denim dresses are worn alone or with pant-leggings. The jackets are renewed with patches and maxi pins. The longuette seduces by its no season functionality, that is to say good in all seasons. As well as the worker style jumpsuit (worker) becomes a passe-partout when combined with XL heels.
There is also a return to the classic. To the clean straight-leg trousers. Chic when worn with a blazer and casual when worn with a T-shirt.
Resist i cropped, jeans that come just above the ankle with a high waist and frayed hem. New are the Bermuda shorts that come to the knee, perfect with décolleté or sandals for the evening. While for more informal occasions they go well with sneakers. The boho references are also strong: green light for flared jeans that slender the figure and 70s waistcoat.
If this year you have decided not to invest even one euro in jeans, steal them from your "him" wardrobe. Match them with a leather top and a high-heeled shoe. Saint Laurent suggests it. Glamor guaranteed.
