From jackets to jeans, the Trendstop.com denim experts have analyzed how these developments will emerge in collections for the upcoming season, influencing key denim elements like color, wash and detail, as seen here.



    TEXTURE OVERLOAD    

Denim appeals to the touch with highly tactile designs, as heavily textured surfaces add interest to shapes while reinforcing them for winter weather. Highlight designs include scaled denim and raw self-textured ruffles, as well as materials with unusual puckered qualities. Garments can be worn separately or matching for an enhanced statement.

    THE COLLECTABLES        
Women’s denim makes a DIY statement for day with collectable patch appliqué, introducing a youthful dimension to shapes with customized looks. Assorted patche styles encompass cartoons, lightning bolts, letters, cityscape graphics and beyond, while sequinned embellishment adds a touch of sparkle. Ideal for laidback city styling, casual pieces are characterized by blue washes and relaxed shapes.
