Denim pieces deserve a place in every wardrobe. From classic jeans to a cool jacket, skirt or dress, denim can do it all. This season, the timeless fabric gets another fresh update with deeper colours, modern silhouettes and surprising details. So, get that denim out of your stash, or better yet, get your sewing machine ready and simply make your own denim essentials.

Denim trends to try this season

Deep & dark

This autumn, denim is clearly moving towards deeper, richer shades. Think dark indigo, almost-black blue and deep rinses. The result? A denim look that feels just that little bit dressier and more refined than classic mid-blue jeans.

Dark denim is also easy to combine. Go for cream, camel, chocolate brown or burgundy for a warm autumn look, or keep it tonal with different shades of blue.

Relaxed is the way to go

Skinny jeans have been making way for roomier silhouettes for a while now, and that trend is continuing this season. Wide-leg, relaxed straight, and baggy fits remain popular, while barrel-leg styles are appearing more and more.

It’s all about volume and comfort, without compromising on style. Pair wide-leg denim trousers with a more fitted top, for example, or go all-out with an oversized denim jacket.

Utility denim

Denim and workwear remain a perfect match. Cargo pockets, patch pockets, visible seams, belt loops and other utility details give classic denim pieces a tougher look.

You don’t have to commit to a full workwear look. One eye-catching detail is enough to give your outfit that distinctive utility vibe. Functional and fashionable? We’re fans.

Double denim is back

Denim on denim? Yes, please. The Canadian tuxedo, in other words, a full denim look, is making a comeback. Pair your jeans with a denim shirt, jacket or top in the same shade for a modern, monochrome look.

Prefer a little more contrast? Mix different washes instead. Light blue denim pairs with dark indigo instantly creates an interesting sense of depth, without making your outfit too matchy-matchy.

Statement details

Details are also allowed to stand out a little more this season. Think contrasting topstitching, large pockets, visible seams, metal details and special washes. These little elements can give a simple denim piece a character all of its own.

And the fun thing about sewing your own? You decide how far you want to take it. Go for subtle tone-on-tone stitching or turn it into a real eye-catcher with contrasting thread.

From jeans to more

This season, denim is also increasingly being used for pieces you might not immediately associate with jeans. Think dresses, skirts, tops, blazers, and even more feminine silhouettes.
