Some of you may cringe at the thought of this recurring ’80s style, but it’s one of this season’s hottest and most versatile trends off the runway—particularly when we look at brands like Balmain, which has sexy rock and roll ensembles; Alexander Wang, which has tough, sporty grunge looks; and Marc by Marc Jacobs, which mixes and matches playful styles with feminine ones. You can of course adapt this runway trend into your own wardrobe. Definitely a must-buy this season, there’s a whole lot of ways to wear your faded denims. Here are some tips:
- Revive this look for a trendy summer style, but be careful not to overdo the eighties vibe. For a more up-to-date look, it’s better to infuse this trend into your wardrobe in small doses.
- Try pairing a denim jacket with a feminine dress, skinny jeans with a mannish blazer, or a slouchy top with a denim miniskirt or shorts. You can complement your pieces with cool neutral shades or go all out with bright neon colors for a varied mix of separates.
- When you do your quick wardrobe revamp, you can check out the latest collection from top shopping haunts such as Mango, Topshop, and Dorothy Perkins for fab pale denim finds—be it light washed, slashed, studded, soft and pale, or dyed.

I love faded denims, but I'm not sure I'm ready for acid wash...
