This week, Fashion United readers get an exclusive look at three essential fast fashion denim trends. Athleisure Influences sees denim and sportswear come together for the ultimate on-trend hybrid while DecorativeDenim explores the ongoing interest in customisation. The Oversized Utility Jacket takes a classic silhouette and modernises it for the new season with fresh proportional play.
Athleisure Influences
The hugely influential sportswear and athleisure markets are informing the sports-inspired details being incorporated into denim. Relaxed silhouettes are enhanced with draw cords, sports panelling and functional utility, stylishly fusing two key wardrobe elements.
Decorative Denim
Traditional jeanswear silhouettes are reawakened, elevated with studding, decorative embellishment and hand-customisation techniques that add a uniquely personal touch to staple jackets and jeans.
Oversized silhouettes and cut-off sleeves enhance the upcycled, vintage appeal.
The Oversized Utility Jacket
The classic denim jacket is scaled up for Fall Winter 2018-19 with oversized, masculine proportions and rounded, sloping shoulders for a relaxed feel. High function utility components develop orderly compositions; pocketing, top-stitching and a mannish handle broaden dimensions.
