Liquid Denim: What Is It and How To Style?

Have you discovered the latest trend to hit the runways? It’s rather ambiguously named Liquid Denim, and if you’re already wondering what on earth that could mean, allow us to break it down for you. Taking your favourite denim hue and reimagining it with a softer finish, this trend creates loungewear-style pieces that allude to the more rigid structures of denim jackets and trousers. For example, you might find liquid denim trousers made from a lightweight jersey or tees that beautifully cloak your figure with a denim-look finish. 

If you want to see these pieces in action, you’ll find a beautiful showcase of this new trend in our latest collection.

Liquid Denim Tops

Each made from an organic cotton jersey, the Glen Crew Neck Tee and Rosa Wrap Tee are made to effortlessly drape over your figure with a slim and comfortable fit. Their flattering blue melange colour is the perfect ode to denim and offers an alternative to your classic neutrals. Those with a larger bust may opt for the Rosa Wrap Tee as the wrap-around shape and V-neckline are made for lifting the chest, whereas those with a smaller chest may opt for the Glen Tee as its crew-neckline and bracelet-length sleeves help to lengthen the torso and draw the eye to your face.

Liquid Denim Trousers

Switch out your classic slacks for a pair with more comfort. The Keller Wide Leg Pants in Blue are made from a stretch-infused jersey that feels sumptuously smooth and lightweight on the skin. What’s more, they fall with a beautiful wide-leg fit to create a relaxed silhouette that’s perfect for lazy weekends. Wear this style with the Glen Crew Neck Tee or Rosa Wrap Tee for a coordinated loungewear look.

A Tailored Edge

You may associate denim with your favourite laid-back looks, but with the emergence of the new liquid trend, you’ll spot some of your favourite tailored styles now with a denim twist. Take our Ashby Jacket, for example; this button-down layer is reminiscent of a formal bolero jacket and features a denim-inspired tweed texture that gives it a more casual edge. 

We’ve also reimagined the classic pinafore dress with a contemporary denim-esque finish in the form of the Luther Boucle Mini Dress. This button-down mini features a sleeveless silhouette with a V-neckline that’s perfect for layering over tees and long-sleeved tops.
