One of the hottest trends of 2016 is the denim shirt. The denim shirt gives a casual yet stylish look and is extremely versatile, making it a staple for every man’s wardrobe. The denim shirt can be worn in an infinite number of ways, matching with almost any style and giving the ‘edge’ to the outfit.
Buttons up: With the buttons done up, the denim jacket provides a smart casual look, perfect for the semi-smart occasion such as grabbing a couple beers at the pub. This look will make you stand out in the crowd without you looking overdressed. It can also be the ideal substitute for a jacket, especially when the weather is too cold for a shirt but too warm to wear a jacket.
Layered: The denim shirt can be layered effortlessly with almost every colour shirt and give a relaxed look. You can also do the buttons up and undo them if it gets too hot. It goes particularly well with white and grey shirts, or a black shirt for a more serious appearance.
Denim shirt and chinos: This combination gives a carefree summer/spring look. The blue denim is contrasted perfectly by light brown chinos to give a relaxed feel.
Double denim: The denim on denim look is one that is avoided by many, as they believe it creates an old fashioned look, rather than a crisp modern look. However, this is more the case with denim jackets that are thicker and usually longer, as opposed to with the denim shirt that is lighter. Ensure you avoid wearing two denim pieces with the same wash… contrast is key! The double denim look has increased in popularity in 2016 and is one to look out for this year.
However, make sure you stay away from the baggy denim shirt look! This can create a look all too similar to your grandads and make it look like you’re borrowing your dad’s clothes! Find a size that is snug but gives you enough room to move freely.
