Denim is updated with a statement aesthetic, revamping shapes with a directional play on surface design and texture for Fall/Winter 2016-17. Ideal for the Junior and Contemporary markets, see how casual apparel styles can be transformed into modern standout pieces for the womenswear wardrobe with this bold new denim theme trend. From jackets to jeans, the Trendstop denim experts have analysed how these developments will emerge in collections for the upcoming season, influencing key denim elements like colour, wash and detail. Here, FashionUnited readers are presented with A Denim Statement, an essential denim trend that enhances daywear garments with a striking yet fashion-forward appeal for cold weather dressing.
A Denim Statement
Women's denim makes a DIY-inspired statement for day with collectable patch appliqué, lending a youthful feel to shapes with customised looks. Assorted patches range from cartoons and lightning bolts to letters and cityscape graphics, while sequinned embellishment adds a hint of luxe. Perfect for laidback city styling, casual garments are characterised by blue washes and loose-fit shapes.
This season, denim appeals to the touch with highly tactile designs. These heavily textured surfaces add interest to shapes while reinforcing them for winter weather. Highlights include all-over scaled denim and raw self-textured ruffles, in addition to materials with puckered qualities or stiff loose yarns. Garments can be worn separately or matching for an enhanced statement.
