Denim will always be in style…but looking back at how we wore it might cause us to wonder exactly what we were thinking?! Take a look at some of these famous (and infamous) denim outfits over the decades. Did you ever rock any of these looks?
The 80’s were known for high waists, acid washes, and jean jackets sporting patches, tassels, and bows paired with neon tees – and lets not forget the hair. Those 80’s purses had to be big enough for your Aquanet and teasing comb! Headbands, banana clips, and big geometric earrings were the accessories of choice.
In the 90’s the rise of R&B, Rap, and Hip Hop to the mainstream had everyone wearing baggy jeans, overalls (one strap down, of course), and high end sneakers. All you needed to finish it off was a little lot of gold jewelry. Check out Destiny’s Child with Tommy Hilfiger, the king of 90’s fashion.
Nobody can forget Britney and Justin at the 2001 American Music Awards in head to toe matching denim outfits! For jewelry, the early 2000’s were all about the bling. Justin and Brit-Brit complete the look with sparkly, glitzy statement jewelry. I can honestly say, I’m glad this look did not stick around!
Finally, we have Miss Miley Cyrus in double denim for our current decade. She’s mixed a light denim top with dark jeans. If you want to tastefully break up all that denim, you can also pair your favorite chambray shirt with some leggings and boots – or colorful flats – it’s a classy but comfortable look!
SJ knows that it’s all about the details, so I picked some jewelry I think would perfectly polish off a modern double denim look! For instance, this gold toned deer necklace! Plain denim is the perfect canvas for fun, funky pieces that will get everyone talking. Of course, you don’t want to overdo it, so I’ve paired this bold statement necklace with pair of classic gold toned button earrings. Finally, I included one of SuperJeweler’s exclusive Octavia watches with a cocoa hued band – a perfect accessory to go with the rolled sleeves of your chambray shirt!
