Is your wardrobe ready for the New Year? Like with previous years, 2021 will bring new fashion trends, some of which revolve around denim. Denim has quickly become one of the world’s most popular textiles. Consisting of cotton in which the weft passes under at least two warp threads, it’s used to make everything from jeans, jackets, skirts, dresses and more. Below is a list of seven of the top denim fashion trends for 2021. #1) Denim Jackets You can expect to see more denim jackets in 2021. Also known as jean jackets, they are made of the same denim material as jeans. Denim jackets have been around for many decades, and since that time, they’ve quickly become a popular choice of casual outwear among men and women alike. They are soft, comfortable, lightweight and versatile. #2) Selvedge Denim Selvedge denim has become a popular fashion trend — and it won’t slow down in 2021. Selvedge denim is essentially made of the same cotton as regular denim, and it’s available in many of the same colors. With that said, the two materials aren’t exactly the same. Jeans are considered “selvedge denim” if they feature a cuff at the bottom of their pant legs. Selvedge denim is essentially made by taking a band of denim at the bottom of the pant legs, followed by folding it and sewing it a few inches higher. Some of the benefits of selvedge denim jeans include the following: Cleaner and more refined styleUltra-high-quality constructionBottom of the pant legs won’t drag or otherwise touch the groundLong-lasting and durableAvailable in countless colors, sizes and cutsProtection from...

You can’t always wear jeans in your outfits. While jeans are versatile and work well for most casual outfits, they aren’t formal. When getting dressed for a formal event or occasion, you’ll need to choose a pair of formal trousers. Formal trousers are defined by their high level of formality. They offer a “dressier” appearance than jeans and other casual trousers. Fortunately, formal trousers are available in many different styles. Some of them are made of different materials, and many of them have different colors or patterns. So, what are some of the best styles of formal trousers exactly? #1) Cashmere Flannel Trousers Cashmere flannel trousers are a great choice, especially for the winter season. They are made of cashmere wool that’s finer — and therefore softer — than other types of wool. As their name suggests, cashmere flannel trousers are woven to achieve a flannel construction. Flannel isn’t a material. Rather, it refers to any soft-woven fabric that’s thicker than other types of materials. You can’t go wrong with cashmere flannel trousers. They are soft, warm and look amazing when worn in formal outfits. If you’re tired of wearing the same basic trousers day after day, perhaps you should try cashmere flannel trousers. They are perfect for all formal outfits, as they’ll lift your appearance while offering a superior level of comfort in the process. #2) Stretch Wool Trousers You may come across stretch wool trousers when shopping for a new pair of formal trousers. Like cashmere wool trousers, they are made of wool. Stretch wool trousers, however, are distinguished by their use of an elastic material. Traditional...

Nearly everyone owns and wears jeans. Over the years, they’ve become the most popular type of men’s and women’s trousers. Consisting of durable warp-faced cotton — the weft goes under multiple warp threads — jeans are worn by countless men and women on a daily basis. Not all jeans are the same, however. In addition to traditional jeans, there are now pull-on jeans. The Basics of Pull-On Jeans Pull-on jeans are a special type of jeans that, as the name suggests, you can pull onto your body to wear. Most jeans feature a rigid waistband. To wear them, you’ll have to unbutton the fly, after which you can slip through your legs through the jeans’ own leg openings. Pull-on jeans have leg openings as well. Rather than a rigid waistband, though, they feature an elastic waistband. Most pull-on jeans don’t have a button, nor do they have a zipper. Instead, they feature a drawstring that wraps around an elastic waistband. With this unique design, you can easily slip into and out of pull-on jeans. What Are Pull-On Jeans Made Of? Assuming this is your first time hearing about pull-on jeans, you might be wondering what material they are made of. Being that they are jeans, pull-on jeans are made of denim. All true jeans, in fact, are made of denim — and pull-on jeans are no exception. Denim is a form of cotton, but it offers greater strength and durable than regular cotton. Pull-on jeans are made of cotton-based denim as well. With that said, they aren’t made of the same denim used in standard jeans. Pull-on jeans are...

With the summer heat in full force, there’s no better time than the present to upgrade your wardrobe with some stylish yet cool and comfortable new clothes. While some people assume that denim clothes are too heavy and thick to wear during the “dog days” of summer, this isn’t necessarily true. On the contrary, there are plenty of denim clothes that are perfect to wear during this time of year. In this post, you’ll learn more about seven of the coolest denim fashion trends for the summer. By including these denim clothes in your summer outfits, you’ll beat the heat while projecting a stylish, fashion-forward appearance in the process. #1) Distressed Denim Jeans You can’t go wrong with a pair of distressed denim jeans during the summer. Why are distressed denim jeans a good choice for the summer exactly? Well, they allow your legs to “breathe” a little more easily because of their heavily worn construction. Distressed denim jeans are intentionally worn — typically around the knees and thighs — to create the appearance of aging. They are still made of the same denim fabric as other jeans. The only difference is that distressed denim jeans are intentionally worn during production. And because of their patches of intentional wearing, distressed denim jeans are cooler and more comfortable to wear during the summer than non-distressed denim jeans. #2) Short-Length Denim Jeans Not all denim jeans stop at the ankles. While most denim jeans do, in fact, stop at the ankles when worn, some stop at the shins or higher. Known as short-length denim jeans, they offer a superior level of...

There’s no denying the fact that denim jeans are one of the most versatile types of pants on the market. They’ve been around for well over a century, becoming more and more popular with each passing year. Today, jeans are the single most popular type of pants in the world, worn by both men and women alike. It’s this unmatched level of versatility that makes them such a popular choice. But some people may argue that jeans are too casual, which is why you rarely see them worn in formal settings. You have to remember that jeans were originally created during the California Gold Rush, with Levi Strauss pioneering the garment for gold prospectors. While jeans are no longer made for gold prospecting, they continue to exhibit the same strength and durability as they once did back in the 1800s. At the same time, however, they fall short of achieving the formal look and characteristics of khakis, chinos and trousers — all three of which are usually worn for formal events and occasions. Before you go placing your jeans in the closet or trading them in for a pair of chinos, however, you should try the following solutions to make them look more formal and dressy. Choose Darker Jeans The color of jeans plays a direct role in whether it’s casual or formal. Generally speaking, lighter colors exhibit a more casual appearance, whereas darker colors have the opposite effect by creating a more formal look. So if you’re trying to achieve a formal appearance, stick with a pair of dark-colored jeans. Indigo (dark blue) is an excellent choice, as...

Denim jeans consistently rank as one of the most popular styles of jeans, year in and year out. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, however, given their unmatched level of versatility. Jeans can be worn for all occasions, ranging from casual get-togethers to business meetings and formal parties. However, there are certain trends in the world of denim fashion that shouldn’t be overlooked. Today, we’re going to reveal some of the current denim jeans trends for the year 2016. Embracing these styles in your outfit is guaranteed to enhance your appearance while helping you maintaining a fashion-forward look. Boyfriend Jeans One of the hottest jean styles of 2016 is boyfriend jeans. In case this is your first time hearing about them, let me explain: boyfriend jeans are women’s jeans that are designed to look and feel like men’s jeans. Still confused? Think of it like this: many women prefer to wear their “boyfriend’s” jeans because they have a larger opening in the legs, making them more comfortable to wear. As such, denim manufacturing companies have begun to make women’s jeans that mimic the characteristics of men’s jeans. Known as boyfriend jeans, they’ve become increasing popular in recent years, with women of all ages and style preferences looking to wear them. But boyfriend jeans are just one of the many denim jean styles that are trending in 2016. Stretch Jeans We can’t talk about 2016 denim jeans trends without mentioning stretch jeans. Made of a combination of both denim and some type of elastic material (e.g. polyester), they offer a greater level of elasticity than traditional 100% denim jeans. And...
