ON T RE ND DENIM LIGHT HEATHER GREY GLACIER AMBER A classic white tee is essential to the trend, often given a retro vibe by rolling up the sleeves. Wear it simply with other iconic pieces like a watch cap and a denim or workwear jacket to capture the non-branded, I-reject-fashion look that’s so now. Trucker caps are the perfect vehicle for simple message graphics or to showcase trendy tropical and camo patterns. It’s simplicity at its finest – a functional and fashionable must-have. Hoodies and crew neck sweatshirts are beloved items from our past that bring us back to basics and add another layer of comfort to this hot trend. CO LOR USA GE Blues are reflected in denim’s increased popularity as we look at the many ways to showcase it: distressed looks and color play from pure indigo to splattered bleach effects. WHITE TEE Some of the most important shades this year come from the many colors we see in water – in particular, accents of the color Glacier. Heritage colors like heather grey, military greens and the soft amber of a much loved duck cloth jacket are a quiet but impactful statement pushed forward by the workwear-as-fashion trend and our love of livedin, classic favorites.

But for the most part, there are just a lot of new ways that the denim color is being manipulated for fresh effects. From solid blue colors to highly bleach splattered looks, everything denim is in.
