You can go full glam rock LIKE Lenny Kravitz or opt for a simple t-shirt pairing.
As much as I enjoy getting dressed up, I equally enjoy wearing a nice pair of denim jeans. I typically enjoy wearing them at home for casual activity with friends and family, but I am always looking for various ways to style them up for a chicer look, especially for outings during warmer months.
Black denim is an undeniable staple on its own and I believe what makes it such an iconic piece is its ability to serve as a blank canvas for various styling possibilities. It’s about working out how to do more with less.
You can go full glam rock like Lenny Kravitz or opt for a simple t-shirt pairing. It can all work.
That being stated, one stylistic persona I like to explore with black denim is one that intersects between contemporary high fashion and traditional styling techniques. As illustrated in this look, the high fashion elements are the updated individual pieces and the styling is one that feels very referential.
The styling hack here is easy. Pair your black denim jeans with a statement shirt in black and white. Layer with a tank underneath just in case you decide you want a more textured vintage-y look.
For a well proportioned and cleaner style, opt for a tucked in look with a polished black leather belt. To finish off, a smooth leather boot adds a bit of edge.
