From jackets to jeans, the Trendstop denim experts have analysed how these developments will emerge in collections for the upcoming winter season, affecting key denim elements like colour, wash and detail.

A Denim Statement

The Collectables
 

Fall/Winter denim makes a DIY-inspired statement with collectable patch appliqué, lending a youthful feel to shapes with customised looks. Assorted patches include cartoons, lightning bolts, letters and cityscape graphics, as sequinned embellishment introduces an element of luxe. Ideal for laidback city styling, casual designs are key with blue washes and loose-fit shapes.

Texture Overload
 

Women’s denim appeals to the touch with highly tactile styles. These heavily textured surfaces add interest to shapes while reinforcing them for cold winter weather. Highlights include all-over scaled denim and raw self-textured ruffles, along with materials with puckered qualities or stiff loose yarns. Garments can be worn as separates, or alternatively coordinated for more of a statement look.
