New Color Denim: Fresh Color Hues Replace Your Old Blues

Color denim is a look that has been on and off the fashion radar for awhile. But bright denim has made a big comeback this season. If you are not ready to jump into the trend full force then ease into with wearing shade that you are comfortable with like green, blue, or purple. You should consider your body shape when wearing colored denim. Bright colors draw attention to your lower half. So if you are not comfortable with that try a boot cut or flare leg fit to help balance you out. A great way to keep this look on the mature side is to pair it with toned down neutrals. You can also make this look edgy and trendy by using a graphic tee and adding a belt or two. Or make it girly with a floral tunic, heels and denim vest. Some of me favorite designers are J Brand and Current/Elliott. So will you be trying out this look? Let me know what you think.

New York Is The New Home Of Gap's 1969 Denim Only Store

Gap wants to make a space in the high end denim market through its 1969 stores. With the newest one being in New York's lower Broadway. The store is between Spring and Broome streets, and houses array of styles of denim from the 1969's premium denim collection for men and women, complementary tops, jackets and shoes. They will also be carrying styles that will only be available in the 1969 stores, including European and Japanese styles. The store has a bright clean feel to it, denim lines the wall and the back of store has greenery to give it a more grounding touch. Seating in the center of the store is raw wood as well as a bar mounted with iPads which is loaded with different fashion sites to keep the non shopping companion busy. The Gap was founded on denim so I am glad to see it is getting back to it roots, but with more of a boutique feel.

The Gaps Goes Back To The 70s

As we all know the vibe of spring 2011 is the 70's. A lot of time retailers are a little slow to bring the runway trend to the stores but the Gap is delivering us two new denim styles that is all about the 70's. The all new High Rise Trouser which has a 7 5/8 inch front rise and the Sexy Boot Jean, which fits similar to a denim legging up top and breaks lower than Gap's basic bootcut style. Both new styles will be hitting Gap stores and Gap.com this month. Each of these styles channels the 70's, when waistbands sat higher and leg openings where wider. The new styles will retail from $69.50 to $79.50 and will be available in a variety of washes. So if you wanted to embrace the 70's vibe but wasn't loving the wide legged pants these are two great options to give you the feel but keeps it sexy.

Back In Style: The Jean Jacket

So it's back, the denim jacket is the latest piece of rugged, iconic American workwear to make a come back. Now it is cut high and tight but it still has a tough feel. To get the right denim jacket make sure you nail the fit. The torso should hit right at your waist, the armholes should be cut high, and the sleeves should reach just below your wrists. Try to avoid stone washes, ridiculous tints, or too many holes and frays. As with jeans, the jean jackets that wear the best over time are made of unwashed, undistressed denim. Style Tip: Pair a skinny tie with a dark and crisp jacket for a night out.
