Spring denim 2023

2023 is the year of denim. For whatever reason it is everywhere and worn in every possible way including double denim.

If you buy one thing for spring, make it something denim. Denim is timeless. But its silhouettes aren’t exactly immune to fashion’s trend cycle either. Season after season, there’s continuous excitement and curiosity surrounding what specific looks will enter and exit the chat. Are low-rise jeans back? Are skinny jeans dead? Well, consider these and the rest of your burning sartorial questions for 2023’s spring denim trends answered.

It's easy to style with any wardrobe essential and even easier to fashion into any form, with dresses, skirts, shirts and more made from the failsafe fabric. The styles go much further than our favourite pair of straight-leg jeans. Consumers are seeing denim as more than the everyday basic than it once was. People are, of course, still in the market for that one great fitting pair of everyday jeans, but they’re also looking for something unique and special that they can mix into their everyday rotation.

So whilst low slung jeans are back in style it doesn’t mean we have to wear them. It’s about choosing some great denim pieces and using them back with everything else in your wardrobe for a wearable but upto date look.

Here are the spring/summer 2023 denim pieces that are bound to reap compliments.

Spring jackets that everyone needs

I know the temperatures haven’t exactly been Spring like these past couple of weeks, but it will get there eventually and one of the hardest things to nail is finding the perfect Spring jacket. I get asked it every year by clients to find what will be the best jacket to keep you stylish when you can (finally!) pack your coat away.

One of my many wardrobe tips is to invest in a number of different jackets as a jacket can really change up an outfit. From a super casual denim jacket, to a cool leather biker, right through to the on-trend trench coat, anything and everything goes, just make sure you have a couple to hand so you can try a few different looks with the same outfit.

The transition from Winter to Spring and even Summer still requires quite a bit of layering in this country, and making the switch over from heavy Winter coat to lighter styles feels transformative. And while we are still freezing cold whilst braving it in a pub garden right now, it pays to be prepared for when that switch in temperature happens, and it will!

Whilst not every style suits every body shape or colouring there are always go-to styles that you are rely on. For me there are six key styles that dominate the season ahead. From the update on the shacket that you can start wearing now, to the overhauled denim jacket that's sticking around, get inspired by some Spring jacket shopping.


TOP 6 STYLES FOR SPRING


  1. Denim jacket


2. Printed jacket

How to style a blazer

Blazers have been a big part of my style for a number of years now and the trend for wearing them off duty, out of the office and as a casual jacket has grown over the past couple of seasons. It’s the perfect jacket to transition into cooler temperatures with, lightweight enough to wear or carry and it has the ability to make an outfit look better instantly. I don't know why, exactly. It could be the collar – everyone looks better with a collar, or the shoulders that create a vertical line for your body shape. It could be the fact that there are so many different options, thus ensuring there's a breadth of colours, fits and sizes. Whatever the reason, now is the perfect time to find a blazer to update other pieces you have in your wardrobe. You will never regret buying one as there are so many things that you can wear it with.

So whether you prefer a tailored, oversized, neutral or bold coloured, check or printed blazer - you can be assured you’re always going to look stylish and well put together with a blazer. It’s classically versatile whilst having an underlining sophistication. Meet your new best friend, your wardrobe staple, your game changer. Thankfully there are many to choose from to buy right now, but I have rounded up the ones that you need the most, of course not all of them but the best of what’s out there right now, to buy now and that you won’t regret.

Here is my top 5 to buy now and believe me you will get so much wear out of this overshirt in the coming weeks its definitely worth the early Autumn investment now
