If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and in my opinion, London style can't be beat. Here I am, virtually mining the streets of London from my cozy L.A. bed on the hunt for my next pair of jeans. The winter denim trend catching my eye? Light-wash baggy jeans. In a sea of black and dark-blue styles typical for this time of year, summery denim paired with winter jackets and coats is a novelty.
Loose-fitting, faded jeans are cool by definition. They're synonymous with nearly every '90s rebel/style icon we try to emulate today, from Kate Moss in her legendary Calvin Klein ad to a Poison Ivy era Drew Barrymore. This style of denim doesn't only work with leather jackets—it's incredibly appealing with more refined outerwear too. Don't take my word for it, though! The proof is in the London fog flavored pudding.
Keep reading for three stylish ways fashion people are wearing this London denim trend now.
