Denim and daring

It's impossible to miss this season: denim is everywhere, and not just on our trousers! It seems to be the must-have fabric in our wardrobes, and it still has plenty of surprises in store for the fall.

While waiting this summer, denim is the perfect fabric to wear if you want to show off your fashionable taste in a low profile way. We'll say it again: clean or ripped, light or dark, denim is one of the easiest fabrics to wear and is found on many of our most loved basics.

An in-depth study of three very trendy silhouettes:

And what to wear on your feet?

So Romantic!

This summer has seen the return of sweetness and neo-romantic looks. On one hand, the very 1970s liberty print is in full bloom in the wardrobes of pretty fashionistas. On the other hand, we've seen the return of pastel and nude colours that were already a hit on the 2009 runways. Country beauty or boudoir spirit, the choice is yours! 

I'm voting for "Liberty", how should I wear it?

Don't hesitate to play up the country look: small dresses or light, outdoorsy skirts with clogs*, dark rolled-up denim jeans with shoes sprinkled with little flowers (especially espadrilles): everything is possible. You can even mix several prints together. Under one condition: don't forget your entire outfit. Too much is ... too much! To take it easy on the eyes, try to stay within the same colour palette.

Lennox White, Birkenstock

I'm voting for "nude", which colours should I choose? 

A pinkish beige (the romantic nuance par excellence), white, beige, light brown, camel ... plenty of soft tints that beautify  your skin.  Attention ! Warning ! Achtung ! Whoever says « nude » says make-up! You can wear the total nude look for your clothing, however  a pinkish-beige outfit is not synonymous with nude make-up, unless you want to look like a ghost ....

Spring is flowering: the liberty as well!

This time, one thing is for certain: spring has sprung! Trees are budding, butterflies are fluttering and the liberty print is present on all the important pieces of our wardrobe, starting with our shoes. Pick some flowers and play the neo-romantic, whether you are a city fashionista or a country trendsetter. Worn in little touches, it is an evidence!

Here they are, and they need no introduction, the authentic southern espadrille! The perfect shoe for anyone who enjoys good weather and casual style, they have been updated by Pare Gabia to continue the tradition.

You will melt in front of these Birki's mules! With adjustable crossing straps, they provide unparalleled well-bring thanks to the authentic anatomic sole that has made this brand a success. 

Who said that the handbag was an accessory like any other? At Lollipops, it's the handbag that sets the tone! This model has seventies inspired prints and flowered designs to go perfectly with the bohemian-hippie trend. 

City slickers will not be able to hide indoors on rainy days thanks to these Aigle wellies. Pretty and feminine thanks to their floral motif, they are also very comfortable. You have to water pretty plants, don't you?  

Created on the 1st of April, 1960 for the comfort and security of British workers, the 1460 has rapidly become a symbol of the English counter-culture. This timeless Dr.Martens is today a veritable fashion icon

Timberland 6 Premium Boots

In ten years, the biggest trends will no doubt be what is popular today. Since the end of last year, I can't help but notice a sudden return of brands and styles that I've definetly seen before. From the Reebok Pump to the NikeAir Force, each of these emblematic models is back and better than ever.

 

.


With time, certain brands have anticipated this trend and noticed that adolescents / young adults that grew up in the 1990's now have buying power that cannot be ignored..... 

Among these nostalgic returns, let's not forget the sudden rise in interest for the Timberland 6 Premium.

Well known by the pillars of the Hip Hop movement, Timberland has for a long time been the loyal companion of the American rap scene. From the Wu-Tang Clan to Tupac, the heavyweights of old school rap have at one time or another worn these classic shoes. 

The durability of these shoes are no doubt one of the reasons. Their large and sturdy style is not just for looks. Anyone who has ever tried on a pair of  Timberland boots knows that these shoes were made to last for years, no matter what the circumstance. 

Time will tell if this "so" '90s shoe will find their place in a new decade ....
