Top 5 Denim Trends Not To Adopt

Here at indi, we love all things denim. Well, we love denim jeans, and denim/chambray shirts, denim skirts and the well-styled denim vest or jacket. But even we draw the line sometimes - not all things were meant to be given the denim treatment. So we present a list of the 5 denim trends not to adopt, in no particular order.

1. Denim Boots. Yes, denim is a comfortable, versatile material, but that doesn’t always translate to stylish, especially when you turn it into footwear.

2. Denim Gown. Denim can be dressed up, a dark wash paired with a feminine blouse and blazer and some killer heels will always be in style. Even a flirty little denim dress paired with the right accessories can look great. But a denim ball gown? This might be the perfect example of a good idea taken too far.

3. Denim Romper. I know I know! There’s plenty of fashionable gals out there who look great in denim rompers. But maybe not denim rompers with cutouts, strange buttons and flaps as well as an oddly light, distressed wash. Erin Wasson we love you. But this design? Not so much.

4. Winkers. Maybe you’ve seen these posted else where…they’re the jeans that “make your butt wink when you walk.” Is there really anything else to say?

5. Knee-less jeans. And last but not least, these monstrosities. Yes, distressed denim is in, but the complete removal of a crucial part of the pants leaving only the inseam and outseam to hold them together seems like overkill.

For those who knew the above information, I hope you were amused. For those of you that are cleaning out your closet, I hope you feel better informed. Try your hand at designing a pair of custom jeans that won’t scare anyone (including yourself!) at indi next time, ok?
