Denim for the Win

Rachel Comey Denim Trench, Crop Top, Shorts / Tory Burch Platforms

We're taking the Canadian Tuxedo to a whole new level. Denim brand fav with the always essential nod to the 90s, Rachel Comey comes in for the denim win as I pair denim on denim on denim. I practically fell on the floor when I discovered these drawstring denim shorts in their NYC showroom this spring. Flashback to circa 1998 when I used to rock balloon shorts that were way to big for me (and needless to say not much has changed). I added a slight roll at the bottom to get a bit more leg and an epic platform espadrille by Tory Burch for added leg length. To show off that epic waistline, I paired the shorts with a patchwork denim crop top. Topped off with probably the softest denim I've encountered, this trench if worn open displays all the details and has an awesome flow as you walk. You'll be feeling like a denim super hero.

High Street Denim

Sonia Rykiel Denim Top / Rachel Comey Jeans / Tory Burch Wedges

If you've been following AVV for a while, you know I'm a lover of denim. From $5 vintage cutoffs to discovering the newest denim brands all over the US, denim is one of my favorite categories. A closet staple but constantly being reinvented and reimagined, jeans in any color, shape, and form create a great palette to build your look upon. 

One of my favorite silhouettes that has risen again is the relaxed, straight leg. We take the 90s version, lighten the fabric in both weight and color and create the perfect pair to match with just about anything in your closet. I was sucked in by the denim on denim addict inside me and paired these perfect straights with one of the most epic denim shirts and gold molded wedges I've ever encountered. The tonal embellishments on the top and metal sculptural quality in the shoe add just that extra bit of flair to take your denim from basic to "high street chic" in seconds. Shop the links above to get the look and stay tuned for more denim favorites!

Match It Up

Tantuvi Top and Skirt / Tory Burch Wedges

The whole "matchy matchy" thing used to be such a "no no", but since it's return, it has become another (dare I say it) go-to outfit! High-waisted pants, skirts, shorts with a matching crop top never fails. It's classic and chic but can pop with the right color and print. I love this Tantuvi set-- such a unique pattern! The structural shape and heels keep it clean and pulled together. Shop this look on the new CREAM style app!
