Denim check list

by Guest Editor Daniela Agnelli & Sonia Sieff, photographer

LONDON: When I don’t know what to wear in the morning, I always grab my favorite pair of jeans (at the moment a cropped, wide flared leg one by Gucci) and a simple t-shirt or blouse to make my day easy.

I often ask myself why jeans if nothing else comes to my mind? Isn’t it much easier to wear a simple beautiful dress? The answer is that we truly love the material; when wearing denim you feel dressed and comfortable, laid back, casual, elegant, always cool,all at the same time.

This fact and the wide variety of designer denim pieces in almost every collection made our Guest Editor take her favorite pieces and put them together for now and until autumn when we will look at them differently again. Little things make the difference — see how Daniela Agnelli styled each look so it is cool, comfortable and stands out, which is a must when wearing a classic.
