THE KEY DENIM PIECES TO INVEST IN THIS SEASON
SPRING STYLE EDIT:
Denim vests, bucket hats and classic jeans: these are the key denim trends to hop on this season.
Logo-clad shorts, classic blue jeans and fun-loving accessories: in 2024, men’s denim is looking a little different. From luxury brands like Givenchy and Bottega Veneta to streetwear heavyweights like Acne Studios and Marine Serre, the trusty wardrobe staple has had an upgrade. The result? There’re ample ways to wear your denim this season. From denim vests to distressed jeans and denim tees, allow us to introduce you to the key denim trends for SS24.
1. THE DENIM VEST
A sleeveless denim vest? Yee to the haw. Thanks to Beyoncé, the cowboy-naissance is in full swing. And as a result, statement denim picks are a hotter topic than ever before. So, it’s a good thing Givenchy have delivered the ultimate take on the trend with their tight, cropped, denim vest. Now, grab your lasso.
2. THE DISTRESSED JEANS
Question: how do you look dirty, without doing any actual manual labour? Answer: these Acne Studios jeans. Splattered, battered and distressed, these jeans have been through the ringer and come out a ten out of ten. Pair with a matching distressed denim jacket for ultimate impact.
3. THE DENIM BUCKET HAT
No one’s doing denim quite like Marine Serre. The pioneer of responsible design has gone big this season, with a bucket hat that’s made from regenerated deadstock denim and is covered in the brand’s signature crescent moon motif. As far as bucket hats go, this one is out of this world.
4. THE DENIM SHIRT
A breezy blue button-down is a must-have in your wardrobe rotation for spring. But now, that button-down has had an upgrade. Introducing: the Acne Studios Logo Denim Shirt. It’s slouchy, in a distressed, dirty wash, and features a tight collar. But the real piece de resistance? The all-over logo detailing.
5. THE CLASSIC BLUE JEANS
A pair of simple, stylish, easy blue jeans are the backbone of any good wardrobe. But when those jeans are from Saint Laurent? That wardrobe goes from good to great. The Saint Laurent Relaxed Jeans are the definition of classic thanks to the timeless slim fit and easy blue wash. Pair with tanks and tees or go all in with a Canadian tux.
6. THE O.G. DENIM JACKET
A true style stalwart, a classic denim jacket is one of those items you can trust will never go out of style. And this season, Acne Studios have delivered a flawless take on the trusty piece. The ‘Morris Jacket’ comes in true-blue denim with silver metal hardware and is cut to an oversized fit. It’s time for our trucker era.
7. THE DENIM HOODIE
For SS24, Givenchy are delivering the streetwear staple we didn’t know we needed: a dark wash, loose-fitting denim hoodie. Riffing off the style of the grunge set and skater kids, it features distressed detailing and a spray-painted Givenchy logo. Major.
8. THE DENIM T-SHIRT
A classic, loose-fitting, easy-wearing tee is one of the hardest working items in your style repertoire. And now, it’s had an upgrade thanks to Bottega Veneta. For SS24, they’ve given the classic t-shirt the denim treatment, covering the tee in a light bleached wash. Summer style here we come.
9. THE DENIM WALLET
Yes, you read that right. Material masters Bottega Veneta are famous for playing with fabric and creating products that trick the eye and shake up your wardrobe – think denim that’s actually leather and bags made of beads. Enter: the denim-ified wallet. Crafted from Intrecciato leather that’s been printed to look like denim, it’s a real statement-maker.
10. THE JORTS
Boys, it’s jorts time. The arrival of spring means the weather is heating up and it’s time to get your legs out. PSA: the humble denim short is the way to do it. The piece you need to know this season? Acne Studios big, baggy, logo-covered jorts.
