The Denim Trend That's Making a Comeback in My Wardrobe
I recently shared my adoration for loose jeans. Believe it or not, I strictly wore skinny jeans for a good decade before making this switch. Furthermore, it’s those relaxed styles that are a bit distressed with a raw hem that I’m especially loving. Yep, loose, raw-hem denim is making a comeback in my wardrobe after many years. In some cases, I'll buy jeans that already have the raw hem, but I've also cut jeans myself to achieve the said look.
I’m certainly not alone here. I’ve actually been spotting more and more fashion people on IG style outfits featuring raw-hem denim. On that note, I pulled a few of the looks that stood out to me in case you too are looking for denim styling inspiration. Keep scrolling for more, including some of my favorite raw-hem jeans of the moment to shop.
Style Tip: Embrace the layered look with a blouse and forward jacket paired with those trusty raw-hem blue jeans.
Style Tip: If it's slightly colder where you live, consider wearing tights under your raw-hem jeans with slingback heels for a forward vibe.
Style Tip: The denim-on-denim look is always fresh—especially with contrasting blues.
Style Tip: Into distressed jeans? Team your favorite style with an of-the-moment striped knit and chunky sandals.
Style Tip: A pair of straight-leg jeans paired with pointed ankle boots and a quilted jacket is a no-fail outfit formula.
