DETAILS Advice on Denim : The Skinny and The Trouser

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 13:58:59 +0000

So here’s the skinny, on this snug-fit, from the waist to the ankle jeans. I’ve already opined on this blasted thing – Unless you’re a British Rocker from the ’70s or the ’80’s, stay away from it-, BUT if you really must, much to my chagrined, DETAILS magazine shows you how to wear it. With a dark blazer, solid color collared shirt that’s tucked and a solid color tie with a tie-bar. Forego the sneakers, wear a lace-up pair instead.

Now this is more like it. The Trouser fit. It has more room for the thigh area all the way down to the ankles.

Wear a button-up shirt with a print-tie to give it an accented touch. Then a a trimmed V-neck sweater, finishing it off with a light colored lace-up shoes like the one from Acne Jeans.

One of the features on the June/July issue of DETAILS is all about dressing up Denims. So SKB will go through it one by one just for you. Awwww! First up is the Faded Jeans.

It might look like it’s down to it’s last color due to constant washing and age so you’re thinking of throwing it away. Or you’re just stumped on ideas of what to wear with your light washed jeans. BUT, don’t give up yet. There’s still a solution out there. According to the experts at DETAILS, if you pair it with a banker-style shirt, add a dark tie with gold-tie bar, then finishing it off with a tailored jacket detailed with a square patterned pocket and you’ve come up with a modern twist for a suit. Not too shabby.
