A textile that can weather trend barometers is denim. Blue jeans are iconic, distinctively American with that chew-a-piece-of-hay Great Plains character. From cowboys to Casual Fridays, the workhorse piece exudes comfort and effortless chic. It’s no surprise that denim is not just stitched into the fashion lexicon but extends to accessories and decor. While denim is the go-to choice to deliver a classic American look it is also more than a laid back fabric. Denim can be embellished, layered, and assembled with pieces that transform from its trite t-shirt and tennis shoes pairing with chic results.
Mixing the blues for a classic composition.
Finding the perfect denim piece is an easy task considering the boundless, enticing selections. Though I am preferential to my college Levi’s that have been dutifully called upon for decades. For anyone who is devoted to a particular pair of jeans, you know they are as prized as a luxury item acquired with a few paychecks. The fit gets you like a faithful pet. You put them on and no couture piece feels as good.
Vintage Levi’s endure.
