Even a menswear genre as timeless as denim cycles through trends, and while only last year the runways were embracing oversized shapes and distressed looks, it appears that denim has graduated into a more mature and smarter style category if the shows of Prada, Louis Vuitton and Prada are anything to go by. The ubiquitous denim shirt is less of a ‘western’ style this season, with dressier cutaway collar options by Dsquared2 and Replay leading the way. Jeans have also taken a turn for the more elevated, with the likes of Diesel and Kenzo producing deliciously slim fit styles in lightweight denim cloths. These are great styled with textural layers, such as a suede jacket by Levi's or a tailored corduroy jacket, bookended with some sleek suede Chelsea boots.
