Bella Hadid Proved It's Time to Forget the #1 Denim Rule

When it comes to denim, most of us think the biggest sin is to match similar, but clashing washes because it looks, well, really wrong. Always one to fly the flag for the most divisive trends, Bella Hadid showed that this can be the freshest way to wear denim right now. Bella wore the '00s Hollywood staple—the light-wash distressed denim skirt—with a cropped denim jacket in a brighter and darker wash. She continued with the '00s theme by pairing this with a black spaghetti strap top and her favourite round sunglasses by Roberi and Fraud. Our weekend outfit = sorted.
