Marques ‘Almeida | Street Style
Marques ‘ Almeida led the way for frayed hems with their signature raw hems and street stylers quickly followed suit. Adopting the trend and transforming it from catwalk-OTT to low key-wearable, subtly frayed hems and ankle boots were the original iteration but loafers and summer heels offer a fresh update. Reference this season’s slouchy, layered mood with an oversized shirt.

Y/Project | Street Style
The denim jacket took on many forms on the SS17 catwalks. From frays at Versace and Alexander Wang to sliced seams at Y/Project, each re-imagining proved the versatility of the humble denim jacket. As for the theme that threaded through every permutation? A generous dose of chic nonchalance. To tap into the casual appeal, ground your look with trainers and throw your jacket on over an easy day dress.

Mother of Pearl | Street Style
Stepping away from the traditional structure of jeans, Carolina Herrera and Mother of Pearl both explored the more feminine side of denim; Herrera with exquisite denim gowns and flattering trench coats and Mother of Pearl with ruching and light fluid layers. Simplicity underscores this trend, so team a shirt dress with a chic cross body and go tonal with footwear to exemplify understated luxe.
