Light Wash Denim
While light wash denim may give you flashbacks to your younger, more wardrobe-limited years, the light blue shade is certainly making a comeback. It's normal to gravitate towards darker colours as the months get colder, but if you're after some summertime inspiration, look no further than light wash denim. A true classic, cult-favourite brands like Levi's have been perfecting the classic hue for years, so why not integrate it into your look and bring some life to your winter wardrobe.

The Front Seam
While it may sound avant-garde, denim with front seams and ribbing are the hottest trend this winter. Popular on the Spring/Summer 2020 runways, the style adds interest and draws the eye up, creating an elongating visual effect. Wear the trend in a variety of silhouettes, from skinny to paper-bag, add some intrigue to your wardrobe with this deconstructed style.

Short And Cropped
While you may have thought that we left the knee-length denim shorts back in 2004, you're sorely mistaken. In fact, the short and cropped trend even includes culottes or cropped wide-leg styles. Seen all over the runway, the trend plays with proportions, by styling the denim with knee-high boots, mules or strappy sandals—once the weather warms up, of course.
