DIY DENIM

Gone are the days of flinging on a classic pair of 501s. Denim has switched to the garish side, c/o Gucci and ‘that’ tiger denim jacket topping the fashion zoo’s wish list.

Decorate your denim with embroidery, pins and a smattering of iron-on badges and, if it looks too subtle? Hit the haberdashery and whack on some more…

“I used to customise my old Guess jeans when I was a teenager – it takes me back! I like making things my own,” says denim guru, Donna Ida.

“I love a heel with ripped or patched jeans, because sometimes it can feel a little too skater girl with rips, patches AND trainers. I think this trend works by mixing uptown/downtown.”

DISCO BOOTS

Get your stomp on because 70s glam-rock booties are back. The more glittery and star-spangled and insanely OTT, the better. See Saint Laurent for the perfect example (waiting list as standard).

“It’s great to see such fun trends like disco boots making a comeback – they’re the perfect shoe for a bit of escapism and showing off your frivolous side,” says Chan.

Approach without caution. If you’re even remotely self-conscious of all things sparkly/shiny/metallic, footwear is where it’s at.

“Glitzy boots allow you to buy into the disco trend in a much more subtle way,” says Coco, “I much prefer statement footwear to be dressed down, so team a sparkly boot with jeans and white tee for a pared-down look.”

TRUCKER CAPS

Kylie Jenner and co. pretty much own this off-duty look. Typified by a foam front, mesh back and retro logo, these truck driver caps are the of-the-moment way to work that incognito I’m-just-casually-hiding-from-a-paparazzi-vibe.

They should be worn brash-y, with a hint of trashy – think spectator at a Dodgers game. If you really want to adopt the trend head-on, go for an obvious brand logo, like Von Dutch.

“There’s a real sense of nostalgia around cult items from the 90s right now,” says Heather Gramston, Selfridges’ womenswear buying manager. “This summer we relaunched Von Dutch to Selfridges with a capsule collection of trucker caps sold exclusively at our Designer Studio.”
