Denim

Damn that Claudia Schiffer. There I was, happily shimmying along in my J Brand “Houlihan” skinny cargos (which must be the most comfortable pants on the planet) and out she steps in a pair of flares.It’s not the first time.

So they're not jeans, but how great is this dress? Photo: AP.

She’s been doing the German-glamazon-meets-’70s-knitting-pattern for a few months now, but you know she’s nailed it when she makes even Elle Macpherson look dated.

There they were, at the school drop-off – which is the ultimate sartorial contest for British mothers (thank goodness it hasn’t hit our Havaiana-clad shores) – and sorry, Elle, but Claudia’s kick-flare and plaited leather belt combo had your skinny jeans looking so 2009.

To me it will always be just a little bit Charlene from Neighbours… but in case you haven’t heard, double denim is back, baby - yeah!

Oh yes, you know you love it… Picture: Frank Violi

‘’Double denim’’, of course being the good old denim shirt/ jacket with denim jeans/shorts combo of the ‘80s and ‘90s.  AKA ‘’the denim suit’’.

And you can even feel free to team it with white sneakers a la Jerry Seinfeld in the mid 1990s.  Reeboks perhaps, for a really authentic ‘’vintage’’ look.

    Ahh denim on denim - what a blast from the past.  I remember it well and of thinking then that it was all a bit unimaginative.  Still do.  With all the choice in textiles and finishes available a more interesting and creative approach with denim in the singular is the… Read more »
