The racks of every brand that matters are sure to sport some version of the trusty jean — but you will definitely see more experimental takes on the denim itself. From cargos to wide-legs to maxi skirts, the denim stays as a staple in every closet. Yet in the past year, we have seen it as the sleek deconstructed top or bustier paired with a super-wide jean that can take you anywhere from art fair to cocktails, or that office-approved suit set or denim dresses. How about that denim gown turning heads at that gala?

Fabric technology has allowed the workman’s wear to take on endless looks and loyalty from those who adore the uniqueness it affords one’s style.
