Look for quality:
The most important thing you need to look at when choosing a denim piece is its quality. To make sure it looks effortlessly chic, it needs to look authentic. So opt for raw colors and thick materials, as well as apparent pockets (on the front for an even more uniquely sophisticated look!). And if it looks a little washed-out, it’s even better, giving it a vintage twist! As long as you stick to this advice, you can experiment with colors. From the classic charm of blue, to the chic of gray and black, the freshness of white or even some colors, there are endless possibilities! Here is the inspiration:

Or opt for long and large denim skirts for edgy glamorous.On the top, oversize shirts and jackets are essentials, never running out-of-style. Throw one open over a classic outfit for an effortless look, or button-it down for a trendy chic aesthetic.
