3 WAYS TO WEAR

Three steezy ways to style decon-recon denim

By Joanna Kyte, 24 April 2017

Fact: decon-recon denim is one of the most mega trends to emerge for SS17. Double Fact: You're not entirely sure what it is. Let us elaborate, it's the artful unpicking and resewing of denim pieces through patchwork, fraying, ripping and staggered hems. So now you know, here’s how to style the trend three ways, with a mega pair by ASOS.

Grunge girl

Repping distressed denim with step-hem jeans means you’re automatically on your way to new heights (lengths?) of cool. To go one-step further to grunge, add in a logo hoodie underneath an oversized print shirt. Finish with a pair of navy plimsolls.

Go west

Searching for fancy-casj with a little edge? This ‘fit is for you. Tuck a ruffle shirt (frills = so strong for this season) into your badass Js, styled with a pair of mega ankle boots. Finish with a teeny backpack and statement earrings, the ultimate outfit-enders.

Mix it up

When you’re in the market for day-to-night steez, the decon-recon denim in Q is here for you. Add in a pastel cami matched with a windbreaker (hey, 90s) and round off with a pair of major backless mules. Extra kudos: experiment with coloured eyeshadow.
