Trend watch: Denim shirts | Fashion

○On this season’s runways, designers continued their pared-back approach to everyday wear. In addition to the double denim look, we also layered the denim shirt over a T-shirt, tucked it under an oversized blazer and buttoned it up, or paired it with tailored pants to create a smart-casual option. Quiet luxury puts sophisticated basics back in the spotlight, a look that’s easy to achieve on the high street. Gap’s Western Snap Closure Shirt (£40) looks great tucked into a pair of high-waisted Vintage Slim Jeans (£40).

Levi’s Theodora shirt (£75) features a classic western yoke detail, while the Karinna ruffle style (£75) looks just as good tucked into wide-leg jeans or a denim midi skirt. Balance out your proportions by pairing All Saints’ oversized shirt (2 below) with slim-leg jeans. You don’t have to limit your denim to classic mid-blue. Note Arket’s greige smock cut (1 below). This comes with a matching skirt (£67). Or try the new off-white version (4 below) of With Nothing Underneath’s sold-out blue denim shirt. Add even more chic glamor with a monogram. Vintage shops are a great value for truly authentic denim shirts. Explore brands like Lee and Wrangler and sample popular items online for designer bargains.

At the time of writing, Asos Marketplace listed a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt (£18) and a chambray Thomas Burberry style (£45), while depop.com listed multiple Levi’s options. I was there. Don’t forget to check out the men’s list as well and size down accordingly. Complete your denim look with simple gold or silver jewelry like hoop earrings, a single chain necklace, or a signet ring.
