Rapsody In Blue, Trendy Jeans Are Worn (Also) In Summer
Baggy and oversized or vintage and lived-in, the passion for denim knows no limits, not even in terms of temperature.
Wearing jeans in summer is not a sin. Even long ones. The denim trend for the most beautiful season of the year says so and we can only take note of it. The volumes are optimized to always be cool but high-performance: very light summer jeans remain baggy jeans during the hot months, while skinny models struggle to reassert themselves in a landscape populated by large volumes. We are now experts in high-waisted jeans that reference the 70s by Farrah Fawcett and Cher and, with the vintage denim trend that is becoming popular, we have the right guide. Gucci, Chanel, Valentino , Loewe, Diesel: among those who include denim in the collection to lighten and relax the excess of formalism especially in summer and those who, instead, have made jeans a reason and uniform of life, jeans are part codes of contemporary elegance. Let's face it: stylish jeans are actually a reality. While among the new entries of short jeans there are Bermuda shorts, shorts finished in every way to be combined with blazers made in Genoa canvas , we are ready to immerse ourselves in a summer in blue.
Baggy jeans, the trend of wide denim trousers
Borrowed from the street scene, women's baggy jeans, like men's, have now become the new cool silhouettes. Winter or summer, two substantial details make the difference, the consistency of the denim fabric - if very light it works even with the highest temperatures - and the possibility of combining it with every piece of the wardrobe that is furthest from them in terms of style and scenographic effect. Flowy romantic tops, or highly tailored old school blazers. They will always work. Two guiding examples: the wide jeans outfit by Zimmerman and the mannish mood by Loewe.
Dark blue jeans are the revenge of rigor
Rigorous, discreet, almost uniform-like. Dark blue jeans are once again part of the trending denim options for spring summer 2024 . The fitting is equally slim and straight and lends itself to the creation of normcore combos: college polo, matching blazer . Or vest. Let's call them quite luxury. From Sabato de Sarno's inspo for Gucci to the casual formality of Bally by Simone Bellotti .
Short jeans, the 2024 denim trend is with tailored Bermuda shorts
Not the frayed denim shorts. Not the drop crotch skate pants. If for the summer the jeans shorten the hem they become even more elegant: they change into Bermuda shorts. From a tailored suit combined with a two-button jacket, they reach just above the knee and no further. In light, almost chalky shades, they contain the quintessence of the décontracté style. And as if in an unexpected telepathy, both Pierpaolo Piccioli with Valentino and Dries Van Noten sign the same outfit with denim Bermuda shorts to be copied instantly.
Used jeans, the vintage touch is the classic that convinces
The lightening done in a workmanlike manner, the sign of the faded hems and the slightly worn pockets. The allure of vintage jeans is experiencing a moment of great rediscovery and appreciation. Denim enthusiasts know how to recognize at first glance the value of the author's experience of the Genoa canvas: real or simulated, the washed treatment triggers a magnificent transference effect of a time that no longer exists, but is always present. How to choose the right one? Giving priority to the fitting and, based on the shapes of the silhouette, identifying the right points with which the used effects can illuminate and attract attention. Exactly how makeup can enhance the features of the face through chiaroscuro. For spring summer 2024 Virginie Viard with Chanel and Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant for Coperni similarly intend the degree of "apparently usage" of their jeans models.
