Denim is everywhere for Spring Summer 2015; not your ordinary denim jeans, we’re talking about next-level denim. Here are some great ideas from Seoul’s street style stars to help you start wearing your denim in a new way … Which is your favourite?

1. DOUBLE DENIM

If you’re going to do “double denim” then forget the 90s Canadian Cowboy look and go for an unbalanced look. We like the idea of pairing an oversized denim jacket in the new, looser cut, with your skinny jeans (above left); or try a new cut of jeans with a more normal sized jacket (above right).

2. WEAR WITH WHITE

Another fresh way of wearing your denim is to team with all white accessories; this works well with light, faded blue denim (above left) as well as more traditional mid-blue tones, or mix all three together (above right).

3. TEAM WITH OTHER BLUES

Don’t forget that denim is actually “blue”, so it stands to reason that it will look great with other tonal shades, right? Faded denim and bright blue look especially good together (above left), or try a more muted, grey-ish shade for a more hipster look (we love the cut-off hem too).

4. MIX WITH COLOUR

When in doubt just throw on your denim with a brightly coloured top; this is a fun school kid / college student look so I wouldn’t recommend you wear it to work!

5. TRY THE 70S VIBE

Yep, the 70s are well and truly back and this includes those dang flared denim jeans. Make sure your look stays modern with sleek accessories (like the beaded bag) otherwise you’ll look like you’re on the way to a fancy dress party.

6. TRY INTERESTING NEW CUTS

The most modern of denim looks is to try the fabric in something other than the usual jean shape. I love these wide-legged loose trousers (above left), but I’m not entirely sure about the overalls (above right) … Only for the fashion brave!

7. MIX & MATCH WITH CHANEL (or any other luxury brand)

Yes, well, if you can. We totally LOVE this look from top Korean model Irene Kim … the washed out casual denim shirt looks fabulous with her fun Chanel bag and shiny wide-legged pants, don’t you think?

DON’T DO THIS …

We know that holey, ripped denim has been a bit of a thing … But really, this is just going too far.
