Cameron Diaz is our favorite dresser this week, because when it comes to denim it's not always about trends or washes, it's about having a second layer of skin that flatters our curves and lifts our spirits. We have them hemmed, wash them inside out, struggle for hours in fitting room after fitting room in search of the perfect pair and somehow, it's all worth it. We remind ourselves that cost-per-wear is our best friend... we'll wear some dresses just once before the seasons have changed, but a good pair of denim will last us for years... and can handle the growing pains we meet along the way.
The editors at People Magazine are on the same page, and recently named Diaz among their best dressed. She took the crown for denim, and her stylist reported, "Cameron is the ultimate denim girl-- it's what she feels the most herself in." We agree, so as we slide our skinnies into boots, uncuff our boyfriend jeans, and pick up our freshly hemmed newbies for fall at Clevergreen, we're taking a note from our favorite girl-next-door, and planning denim looks that she pioneered and continues to rock.
Our picks for fall: Raven Denim trousers, black and grey J Brand skinnies, and sliced and destroyed Red Engines. Pair with silk blouses, drapey cardigans and racerback tanks.
Rule of thumb: If you're donning a voluminous top, wear more tapered bottoms. Too much fabric looks frumpy, so balance tops and bottoms. Example: Trousers should meet with tailored tops, but skinny jeans can handle more material on top. To avoid looking like a ragamuffin, destroyed denim becomes sophisticated and stylish with a dressier tops, like the Central Park West piece pictured here, or the polka dot top our Denim Diva wore.
xoxo.
