Shoppers may also notice a ’60s and ’70s aesthetic dictating the shape of denim this season.
“Denim flares are really hot,” says Caprice C. Willard, vice president-regional planning manager for Macy’s, where brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Levi’s have incorporated the style. Flared and wide-leg jeans are also big sellers on the boutique level; Satine’s Lee says wide-leg jeans have been flying off the shelves.
On spring-summer 2011 runways such as Derek Lam’s, models wore wide-leg jeans with tucked-in white button-downs and chic wedge sandals. On the street we’re bound to see a more relaxed version of the look, with women wearing bell-bottom-style jeans with T-shirts and sandals or perhaps flared jeans with a tucked-in tank top and a blazer for evening.
The other denim trend for spring is a gamine, ’60s crop. The pant leg ends at least 2 inches above the ankle. The jeans look great with ballet flats or a low-mid wedge sandal.
The ’70s vibe also includes versions of the maxi-length skirt and dress. Floor-grazing styles were featured in the collections of Max Mara and Jil Sander and are showing up in stores such as the Gap, J. Crew and Club Monaco.
“The maxi-dress is really important this season and we are seeing a resurgence with it,” Willard says. “The maxi length actually stays important in Southern California all year long.”
AND BRIGHT PIECES!
