Ways To Wear: Cargo Jeans

Previously a quintessentially nineties staple, 2023 has been THE year of the cargo resurgence. While multiple pockets are a must, if you want a style that is slightly different from the casual trouser versions that are growing in popularity, why not give our cargo denim jeans a try! Akin in shape to our much-loved wide leg jean, these come in a variety of washes including khaki, as seen on Faye, to give the illusion of the classic women’s cargo trouser. For the daytime keep things casual and style with oversized comfy basics and neutral accessories to really make the khaki pop.

To dress up this denim for the evening, it’s all about uber feminine fabrics and detailing to juxtapose the cargo’s utilitarian look and feel. Faye’s go-to evening look? Lace and layers. Team with lace bodysuits or corset tops and finish off with heels for a sultry look that doesn’t compromise on comfort. Don’t forget an oversized faux leather jacket for added warmth!

 

Ways To Wear: Flared Jeans

The most notable decade-defining denim style? It has to be women’s flared jeans! The bell-bottom silhouette often associated with the seventies has certainly deep-rooted itself into our denim rotation over the past few years thanks to the flared jeans’ flattering fit. Laura has kept things neutral for her day-to-day look mixing creamy tones and textures like our borg bag and loafers to ensure all the focus is on those flares.

For the evening? She’s championing blue hues! Opt for an oversized women’s poplin shirt to balance out proportions and slip on an open toe heel to show off some skin and elongate those legs. Finish off with our pearl-accented handbag and gold jewellery for a touch of luxe. This outfit would also work perfectly for your women’s workwear wardrobe.
