Jeans, the foundation of any successful total denim look

The denim jacket

The denim jacket is also one of the must have pieces. Fitted, loose, straight cut, it comes in every colour and can sometimes be decorated with details for those who love originality such as studs, rhinestones, embroidery and more. We love it in raw denim, light blue or washed out tones to give a stylish and modern touch to any outfit.

The denim shirt

This is the essential piece for a total denim look. There are many different models, from the most basic to the most creative. The denim shirt can be plain or decorated with pearls, sequins, ruffles or embroidery for those who prefer a more playful look. The denim shirt has the advantage of being very versatile and can be worn at the office as well as for an evening out.

The denim dress and the denim overall

The denim dress and the denim overall have been at the forefront of fashion for many years. Long or short, with a belt or without, both pieces are very feminine and instantly add style to any outfit. For summer, the denim short one piece is also very popular.

The denim jumpsuit

The denim jumpsuit is the statement piece that is trendy, feminine and incredibly fashionable. It can be worn in a relaxed way or in a more elegant way, which makes it an essential item in any wardrobe. We love its retro vibe. It is available with long sleeves or short sleeves and comes in various cuts such as slim, wide leg, flared or straight.

The denim skirt

The denim skirt with a zip, with buttons, short, long, pencil shape, high waist or with a belt is a piece we love and adopt without hesitation for a full denim look.

The denim shorts

Denim shorts are the standout item for every woman during the summer season. Short, bermuda length, high waist, with a belt, with a scarf, ripped or embroidered, there is something for every taste and in every colour.

Basic rules and tips for a successful total denim look

Here are some tips to follow and mistakes to avoid for a stylish total denim look.

Avoid western style accessories with your outfit except for a costume party.
To create contrast, wear a light denim shirt with dark denim trousers for example, or the other way around. The colours need to be different enough to achieve a successful contrasting total denim look.
For an easy total denim outfit in summer and winter, simple white or black denim trousers with a light blue denim shirt can be enough.
Choose coloured denim, which is very fashionable, if you want a bold and lively style.
If you choose a decorative or fantasy denim piece, make sure to pair it with a more simple top or bottom so your outfit does not look too busy.
Balance your silhouette by playing with volumes. If you wear a wide denim shirt, avoid wide trousers.
Add accessories to brighten, feminise and bring depth to your outfit such as jewellery, belts, hats, elegant shoes and a trendy bag. Be careful to choose neutral shoes if you are wearing a coloured total denim look. For a monochrome look, a pair of bright shoes is perfect.

Examples of total denim outfits

Here are some outfit ideas you can try depending on your style and mood.

Casual chic in a total denim look

For work or a walk in the city, choose high waist flared denim trousers and a dark blue denim shirt. This combination works perfectly with sneakers, ankle boots or heels. You can add touches of colour to make the outfit more lively. Finish the look with accessories such as a belt, a brown leather tote bag, a gold necklace, pretty earrings and a few bracelets. In summer, replace the trousers with denim shorts and wear them with a tank top and an open denim shirt as a light jacket.

Feminine in a denim jumpsuit

Choose a straight denim jumpsuit with a belt to tie at the waist to highlight your shape, and pair it with suede boots. A look full of style and very feminine.

Sexy in a high waist denim skirt

To create a sexy total denim look, choose a mid length denim skirt with buttons that highlights the waist, paired with a white top, a short denim jacket and boots or ankle boots. Do not forget the belt, a handbag, a pair of cat eye sunglasses and your most glamorous jewellery.
