Pieced denim doesn’t necessarily mean hobo patches. The newest jeans in Resort collections are more sleek than scruffy, with contrasting fabrics or multiple shades of denim sewn in neat panels or subtle insets. Because the novelty is in the segmented construction, silhouettes remain relatively classic with straight-legs and natural waists. Utilitarian stamps or screen prints add to the clean, graphic feel.
Some of the best looks being shown for next Cruise channel a haute bourgeoisie look, replete with ladylike separates and status-scarf motifs. Gold jewelry is part of the look, as are gold chain belts, specator pumps and tailored shoulder or top-handle handbags. Items include bow blouses, printed bermudas, softly pleated or straight skirts and neat bootcut pants. The new penchant for logo prints shows itself as borders, facing for a lapel, or an ornamental motif for hoop earrings.
