I am a denim expert, a denim addict even. I imagine if you cut me in half, like a stick of Blackpool Rock, there would be a vein of rigid blue denim running through me. As a personal stylist for a number of years, helping clients find that elusive pair of perfect denim was my number one skill and a mission I loved.
Nothing in your wardrobe will work harder than a good pair of jeans. Think about it… You need something to wear to coffee with a friend; jeans, trainers and a nice knit, tick, done. You need an outfit for a smart casual workplace; jeans, white tee, nice blazer, and kitten heel boots, done and more done. Stuck for a date night look - dare I say it, jeans and a nice top? Few other items in your wardrobe will ever be as flexible or as durable.
When it comes to denim, to understand it means you have to try it. I have probably tried on every brand of jeans from high street to high end and there are two important lessons I would impart.
