Subtle acid wash | Acid washes are back – and in a pleasantly refined form. They’re subtler than what they used to be in their previous era. The cuffed overall acid-washed jeans in charcoal grey on the right are a template to follow for denim purchases of the year.

Paperbag styles | After skirts, shorts and linen trousers, it’s now the turn of denim pants to be smitten by this adorable waist style. Wear them with a baker boy hat and you’ll say ‘awww’ every time you look in the mirror. Avoid cuffing them up though unless you’re unusually tall.

Dungarees and studding | These looks are all so rock ‘n’ roll. If you’re an 80s kid, give in to the nostalgia by getting in a little studding on your denim jacket, or a relaxed full-length pair of dungarees like the one on the right.

Rips on a roomy white jean | Skinny white jeans may not have been for everybody – but these baggy ones are. Wear them in a monotone ensemble in slightly differing shades of white or with a contrasting blouse or sweater.

Feather trims | If we had only one thing to remember from the current sartorial times, it would undoubtedly be feathers – they’re everywhere from dresses to skirt-suits to sarees – and now even on denim. The Balmain denim mini-dress with a feather hem is all love.

Tailored blouses and blazers | And here’s denim getting dressier – with the pussy-bow blouse and the blazer with a perfectly defined waist. The hint of acid wash on the blouse reinstates the arrival of the trend.
What do you say to this new 80s-90s wave of denims? If you had to pick only one from the above styles, which one would it be?
