I’ve
had an on-going battle with finding the perfect pair of MOM style jeans. I’ve
got a typical hourglass shape so this seemed like a losing battle- if they fit
round my bum they were way too big round my waist and if they fit there then
there was no way I could even pull the suckers up to start with. But when
mooching in Amsterdam last weekend (read all about it here) I found a pair of
Lee Denim high waisted jeans, and yes folks, they fit! *Hallelujah music starts
playing*
So
as you can probably tell, I’ve worn these basically everyday since coming back
to the wet and windy England. My Levi’s denim jacket is such a fundamental
piece of my wardrobe (I throw it on with
basically anything and everything) and being a double denim enthusiast I
just had to wear these two wonderous pieces of clothing together. Admittedly,
the response I got was mixed. My mum asked if I’ve become a painter and my dad
asked whether I was the new member of Wham! But I love this look- and many at
work did too. (Cheers Urban gang!)
I
tried to keep it super simple to stick with the vintage vibe I had going on so
I teamed it with an old vintage tee I picked up in a market for about £3 and my
die hard coffee stained/mud covered/battered white high top Converse. In terms
of accessories I went for sparkly socks (another Alex staple), my Tortoiseshell
Ray Ban Wayfarers and a minimal style bag from Zara. This look all in all is
something that I tend to throw on everyday, whether I’m off out to see friends
for Coffee or nipping to the shops. It is so comfy and let me tell you, vintage
denim is the best. The quality is so much better than most (Topshop Joni Jean
denim I’m looking at you) plus the thickness of the denim keeps you really
warm- a win win right!? This isn’t the most sexiest of outfits as really I’m
swamping my frame, however in terms of comfort you can’t beat oversized anything/everything. If you are a bit scared of having too much denim fabric excess, team it with a tight crop or body to give it a bit of shape.
Are you a double
denim fan? What’s your denim staple in your wardrobe?
