January is the Sunday of months. The excitement of the holiday season has worn off, your resolutions may have started to look more cumbersome than inspirational and you're inevitably thrown back into your to-do lists and 9-5 work days. To beat the monotony of January I tend to focus on my personal style. After all, a new year is the perfect time to take stock of your look and start fresh, keeping only pieces that bring you joy (a la Marie Kondo) while finding ways to incorporating new and exciting trends into your wardrobe.
Before you purge your closet completely, start with the basics. Denim is arguably the most-worn and most versatile clothing item and with so many exciting and flattering new options for 2019, it's the easiest way to take a look up a notch, without completely overhauling your wardrobe Whether you're opting for a head-turning animal print, finally trading in your skinny jeans for an equally flattering straight leg or leaning in fully to the baggy denim look, we suggest giving one of the below trends a go. Scroll to shop some of 2019's most promising denim styles, from Topshop and more, now.
Print Denim
Vow to make your jeans the focal point of your outfit with loud, colorful prints that somehow seemingly feel as versatile as your go-to blue denim. Pair your look with a classic white tee or print-mash with a different animal-inspired look.
Baggy Denim
Pay homage to the 90's with this updated grunge style. Opting for a more elevated look? Pair with a silky tucked-in blouse and kitten heels.
Straight Leg Denim
Give your skinny jeans a well-deserved break. Straight leg silhouettes are equally as flattering but feel infinitely more stylish.
