Denim Trends 2010: Must-Have Styles for Every Closet

Genetic Denim
Everyone has their favorite denim style and we think that’s great, but what about giving a new style a try for 2010. It is a new decade and a new opportunity to expand your wardrobe is quite possibly the easiest place- your denim closet.
The styles for Spring 2010 are some new trends and some carry overs from Fall that we just love. Here is a quick overview and an idea or two to inspire you to try something new.
The Denim Legging: Commonly referred to as the “Jegging“, this style comes in a variety of denim weights and tends to be in the darker ranges. We have 4 styles of the denim legging from 4 different designers and each one is fast becoming a favorite of many.
Staff Pick: the Current/Elliott because I love the blue tone and larger pocket.
The Embellished Jean: Long standing reign over this style has been Rock & Republic, but recently we are seeing other designers throwing their versions onto the scene. This trend ranges from studded details like the popular studded BLANK skinnie classique to prominent stitching not only on the pocket from PRVCY Premium, but elsewhere on the denim.
Most Anticipated Style for Spring: Genetic Denim’s Mesh Studded Inlay jean (AVAILABLE IN STORE NOW). With just a hint of studded mesh peeking through on various parts of the jean, you get a bit of edge.
The Boyfriend Skinny: Not entirely new for Spring, but the versions we have and are expecting are much more refined. Malibu’s CoCo Boyfriend Skinny is a great way to wear the skinny jean in a more relaxed style. And with a touch of cashmere in each jean, these will fast become your most- wanted denim.
Style Share: Wear this style cuffed with some Joie Oxfords or Ballet Flats for a fresh take on the Classic Hepburn look
The Denim Sweatpant: We can’t believe it ourselves, but the inspiration must be from our favorite fashion icon of all time: Carrie Bradshaw. We saw this elastic bottom pant in Sex And The City – The Movie and almost fell off our cinema seats. We swooned until we were finally shown the styles last year and of course, ordered it straight away. Styled to wear relaxed with the elastic band scrunched up or worn long – all with a high heel, this is certainly going to be a new trend to watch.
See it when: Available NOW from Genetic Denim, The Val is surely giving us something new to style to show you some fun looks on the site. So far, we are having a ball.
And don’t forget about the great new washes, including the still popular distressed with paint splatters from Current/Elliott, acid wash versions, colored denim is always as a Spring trend and we are loving the crisp white denim offered in many styles this season. Check out Blank Denim’s skinny white denim with the Ankle Zip detail.
