Indigo Denim is Trending Again—5 Ways Fashion-People are Wearing Theirs Today

Few wardrobe pieces prove to be a real touchstone of the trends, cultural mood and taste levels of a particular moment in time like denim does. Denim, and in turn, jeans, has long been the backbone of many people’s wardrobes, and has evolved from a workwear necessity to a full-blown fashion status symbol. Successfully navigating microtrends, fads and changing sartorial needs over the years, denim jeans have become the fabric and staple item that we all turn to, on an almost daily basis, for weekends, workdays and evening looks, too.

We are all well-accustomed to classic light blue denim, and its soft, sometimes washed-out and whiskered hue. White denim is also popular, but best saved for the days when coffee is out of sight and mind. Likewise, black jeans are a tried and tested option, and are suited to monochromatic dressers and those who want to add a bit of practicality to their after-dark ‘fits. There is a gap here, however, and this is where I have seen indigo jeans emerge as a breakout trend, which dips into the quiet luxury mood of fashion today, with a pared-back, everyday simplicity which evokes a chic and wealth-whispering allure.
