On Set with Vogue ~ Supermodels Reveal Their Denim Obsession
Is there such a thing as possessing too many pairs of denim? An interesting discussion point ~ ‘How many is too many?’
I have learned that there are numerous styles, fits, and colours to denim ~ the options are limitless, and in my opinion there certainly is no such a thing as possessing too many pairs! An ardent fan of denim jeans, I have way too many in my closet; and while I am not saying that there is no right answer to the above question ~ I feel that if they fit you beautifully, are unique, and more importantly, if you like them and have the space to store them ~ then, why not?! A closet full of countless denim is a happy one! 🙂

On Set with Vogue ~ Should You Be Wearing Overalls?
Forget what you may have heard, the ’90s are having a moment and overalls are back in business. Depending on your style statement, here are a few ways to wear them right and look fabulous:
- If you are looking for a sleeker look and feel, cuff them at the ankles. This will make your legs look slimmer and longer by giving the relaxed fit a more fitted look. You could additionally use a crop top to accentuate your look.
- For a more stylised look to your classic dungarees, pair them with a tank top, and an oversized scarf. A classic white button-down underneath would be another option for a more polished look.
- For an entirely unexpected look, a pair in a super-light rinse should do perfectly. The key to rocking this look is to pair it with edgier pieces, for example, a fabulous biker jacket!

Thinking of adding denim to your wardrobe this season? Let me know your thoughts on my post by leaving a comment below.
In my opinion, if all influencers curated just the right content as you have, the internet will be much more useful than ever before! That said, I’m all for the disheveled tailored elegance to create more of a polished take on rugged denim basics. 🙂
Such a lovely compliment! Thank you, Priya.
You’ve done an excellent job curating this post, Tanya. I find this to be a moody, abstract trend story that combines athletic styles with a colour palette of “darks”… xx
Thank you, Trupti. Glad to hear this!
Sustainability is a dominant theme in the fashion industry… I would have loved to see it make its way into this season’s denim trends…
I echo your sentiment, Ranjitha.
I would just like to say kudos for a remarkable post and an all round entertaining blog (I also love the theme/design). I don’t have time to go through it all at the minute but I have bookmarked it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more. Keep up the great job!
Always a delight to have your appreciation, Navdeep.
I am all about marrying the old with the new; looking back and embracing 70s pre-modern technology hippy-vibes while embracing new technologies which allow high-performance fabrics for longer-lasting items. xx
I wholeheartedly agree, Shubhi!
Great imagery, Tanya! There’s definitely a lot to learn here ~ this story is bold and playful and digital-focused, again drawing inspiration from mismatched aesthetic.
Thank you for this perspective, Chaithanya.
Love this ~ luxury-inspired minimalist looks, with louche and languid shapes but retaining an elevated attitude for denim this season! Thanks for sharing and best of luck!
Thank you for your artistic expression, Princy!
This season, denim seems to collectively embrace energetic colours, new shapes and playful embellishments. Thanks for the fun blog, Tanya!
On a side note: I absolutely love all your fashion posts! ❤️
Oh, thank you so much!
Interesting take. Denim certainly invites designers to have artistic license, right? I’d personally love a pair with feminine crystal and rhinestone embellishment! 🙂
As would I, Ramya!
These key finishes, surface treatments and detailing will play muse to my next denim purchase… 🙂 Also loving the deep dark indigo, mid-blues and faded stone-washes that are mix and matched within this season’s taken on denim. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure, Riya. Loving your appreciation!
Fluid silhouettes certainly bring a feminine touch to utilitarian pieces… Know what? I’d love to see the revival of pop-culture inspired placement graphic prints adorning athleisure and casual denim apparel. 🙂
Ah ~ like sepia tone effects referencing vintage portraits. 🙂
As one door closes, another opens, and the jean trends for 2016 look like the perfect combination of old and new! I intend to wear my favourite pair with a flow-y crop top in summer, and turtleneck & statement duster jacket in winter! Thank you for this fun share!
Glad you enjoyed it, Tina.
If I’m being honest, I wear denim almost every single day. I love how you can dress it up or down, and there are so many flattering styles that never fail to make me feel like a sartorial queen! 😀 Especially with the influx of high-waisted and vintage-inspired denim looks these past few years.
Hail Queen Sharda! 🙂
