New Denim: Blazers and Tunics
We just can't get enough denim this season, and Spring 2011 is all about wearing head-to-toe indigo in fresh new shapes. The '70s influence can be seen in the wide-leg trousers and longer A-line skirts on the runway, but we're gravitating to the blazers, cropped jackets and loose tunics that were often paired with, making what was once dubbed the dreaded "double denim" no longer something to be avoided when dressing.

@Lauren - you're so so right. I am now a fan ;) |
![]() | I love blazers! the denim blazer idea is looks so original and pretty, I think i'll want to buy one! |
![]() | I am really not feeling denim blazers - at all. I like cute denim jackets though! |
![]() | I'm not a big fan of the denim at all. I think this look is just too casual and having so much denim in an outfit can get really overpowering. |

@mumaluv - how could you not love the matching full denim Britney and Justin? |
![]() | Ach, I'm sorry. I was around when 'double denim' was popular last time and just can't get on board with this reboot. The denim jacket as a standalone like the cute polka dotted Guess blazer over the LWD is something I could really go for, though! |

@Siofan - Agreed! It's all about moderation and complimentary but not matching washes. I'm getting so anxious for summer fashion... |

Love jackets for casual looks, so I love the jean look as well. Definitely into the Charley 5.0 one, REALLY on trend I think. |
![]() | I like double denim in moderation, like a shorts suit in a summer weight denim. I love a denim jacket with a dress, but the old school jean jacket is too hot in the summer, these look great! |
