Denim brings a certain masculine vibe with it, as well as that unmistakably casual appeal.

So it makes perfect sense that when you're styling denim, you can create a little friction by bringing in something more feminine.

Think crochet, lace, pretty details , or even choosing a denim piece that has already done some of the work for you, like a gorgeous denim skirt.

 

But then… You can REALLY double down.

Because what if the crochet and lace were actually made from denim?  Yep.

You get the masculine, casual feel of denim AND the softness and femininity of crochet or lace, all wrapped up in one piece.
 

The balance has basically been created for you.

No complicated styling formula. No standing in front of your wardrobe wondering what on earth to put with it.

No extra effort required on your behalf.

Other than being brave enough to give it a go.And resilient enough to accept a few:

“OOOOHs…” and perhaps even a couple of “ARRRRRs…...

Why Jeans LOVE Pretty Things
 

I want you to stop thinking of your jeans as casual clothes.

Because jeans can be so much more than that.

One of my favourite ways to make denim feel fresh, feminine and interesting is to pair it with something pretty.

Think the colour pink, soft fabrics, beautiful prints, a delicate blouse, a feminine shoe, a gorgeous necklace, a top with a little bit of sparkle or sequins, something floaty, romantic, or suited to a fancy dinner.

Why does it work so beautifully?

Because Contrast creates interest, and Friction equals Style.

The relaxed, uncomplicated nature of denim gives you the perfect foundation for something softer or more refined.

The jeans stop the pretty piece from feeling too precious and the pretty piece stops the jeans from feeling too casual.

It's that delicious little push and pull between casual and sophisticatedthat makes the outfit feel modern.

Don't be afraid to mix your worlds.
