Style For Style: Perfecting the Denim Mix

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:00:22 PDT

Mixing denim is a dangerous game; you either pull it off or you don't. The key to perfecting this tricky look is thinking outside the box and above all, making sure your denim items contrast one another. Time to kick that old image of a cowboy out of your head!

Pair ink dark jeans with a light denim jacket, and vice versa.
Make it look like you mismatched your denim on purpose, like at D&G Spring '08 (pictured).
Look to trousers, blazers, and sharp cuts that will translate your mixed denim ensemble as modern.
Don't forget to check out the plethora of fun colored jeans available, too. The possibilities are endless!

Most of you despised this idea, but are you willing to try it out now?

The first collection to hit the racks is Hawks by Geren Ford in May (left), which includes cotton drawstring jackets, knit camis, silk tops, and cotton-blend dresses priced $48-$128.

Courteney is one mom who proves fashion doesn't have to suffer post baby! I for one have been a CC fan since her debut in Springsteen's "Dancing in the dark" video. You've come a long way baby!
