Denim Shirt

Spring 2010, Homeschoolers and Denim.

If you had asked me a year ago if I had wanted the denim button-up to be back in style for Spring/Summer 10 I would have done the valley girl style gagging and said no. I think my previous distaste for denim clothing comes from my former years as a homeschooler and the assumed denim floor length skirt that I never wore, but always fearfully hid from.

Well, fashion is always surprising and here I am a year later confessing that, I love denim button-ups! Apparently I am not the only one, because one of the biggest close-to-season trends and trend for Spring/Summer 10 is the denim shirt.

Everyone knows fashion always comes back around, and the 80's took over our fashion trends this past Spring/Summer 09 (acid wash denim, burn out, sequins and neons) it is still influencing currently with denim, even though acid wash is now washed out from the fashion trends.

So here I am, the denim wary homeschooler obsessed with the denim button up trend of Spring/Summer 10.

I was in fact so excited about my denim purchase the other day, that I did a fashion illustration and technical flat in pencil of it.

Other denim trends for Spring/Summer 10 are:

• Denim jumpers/dress.
• Overalls (full length or shorts).
• Shoes with denim embellishments.

The denim shirt is predicted to be all over the retail stores this Spring/Summer. J.Crew, Madewell, American Apparel, and Urban Outfitters have already started carrying the shirt. Although, I will still scream, run and hide if I see a denim floor length skirt.
