Designers continue to draw on nostalgic references and recreate worn looks that are oh-so-wearable. Look out for seasoned and softened denim created with enzyme washes, which offer a more environmentally conscious alternative to traditional stone washing. For the ultimate nod to the ‘90s, a goes-with-anything straight fit offers the perfect canvas to the season’s faded denim look. Or, try a riff on the ‘00s with a wider-cut leg and look for love-worn finishes such as unpicked and distressed hems.

When it comes to tried-and-true style equations, denim on denim hits the sweet spot this season. Following on from Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter era and the trending Wild West aesthetic, the Autumn/Winter 2024 catwalks were rife with jean ensembles. Once favoured in contrast washes, this season’s ‘Texan tuxedos' come in matching tones and playful proportions. For fresh alternatives to all things Americana, try relaxed and oversized silhouettes or polished combinations styled with a nipped-in waist and a sculptural barrel leg.

No longer reserved for summer days, white denim has been claimed for all seasons by the street style set. Take the look into cooler months with a dense weave, a hint of stretch and a perfectly cut slim or straight leg. Pair with a cashmere sweater in contrasting black, navy and charcoal, or warm tones of cream and camel. For a contemporary twist, style with a clean-cut blouson in a coordinating hue.

A marriage of comfortable and covetable, the relaxed fit remains the mode du jour this season. And, as workwear influences continue to hold sway, why not try a utilitarian twist with reinforced seams and panelling? Balance the voluminous straight leg with a slim-fit knit or take the style into layering territory with boxy-cut separates. For a look that will carry you into the evening, lean into styles with muted shine.

Few can resist the enduring appeal of the denim jacket. Co-opted by countless icons through the years, from Steve McQueen to Madonna, the wardrobe classic is imbued with a sense of timelessness that few styles can match. This season around, turn to trucker silhouettes in relaxed and oversized cuts and deep indigo hues, decorated in modern embellishment. Or, try a soft-shouldered style with some slouch, such as a workwear-inspired chore coat.

The ultimate wear-all-day companion to denim this season? A Cuban-heeled boot, of course. Hotfoot into all things country and choose from statement styles with colourful embroidery and vivid-toned suede. Or, look to classic iterations in topstitched leather and contemporary ankle-length styles with a square toe. Whichever way you play it, consider this a lifelong investment to which you’ll turn again and again.
