Dark Denim & Yuzefi

Hey loves! It feels like it’s been an especially long week (call it the beginning transition of spring to summer?), so it’s time to relax and try on your latest weekend outfit – in this case, the return of dark denim.

As the early 2000’s have come back in style, so have many of their trademarks – like beaded bags, pageboy caps, and, of course, matching denim. However, for the trend’s current reinvention you don’t need to purposefully match your denim, buy a denim set, or even wear similarly-colored denim pieces from the same brand (we all know how that looked on Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears :). Instead, it’s all about coordinating your denim.

For my rendition of the Canadian tuxedo, I chose a vintage jacket with a slim fit, accentuated shoulders and leather sleeves. It’s a sharp contrast to the casual nature of denim. This outfit makes my new Yuzefi bag – which I’ve been wearing everywhere since I bought it – really stand out! I purposely choose a neutral tone for the bag so it would be easy to pair with most outfits.

Wide leg pants are the perfect pairing to a slim fit top!

The outfit needed more texture to really make it stand out. I choose this open-knit, netted top by Beaufille to offset the casual look of the denim and add something modern to the mix – I especially loved its’ scalloped details!

A pair of skinny sunglasses and large hoop earrings (note the symmetry of earrings and metal details on the Yuzefi bag, as pointed out by my intern Aaron’s impeccable eye 😉 pulls the outfit together.
