How to get the Look: Denim with a difference
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

OK, we also have a hard time getting excited about the most recent rise or fall in waist and the degree of shred on a knee-rip. But this spring the denimscape is about so much more than jeans.
What else? Jackets? Novel!
Honestly, you'd be surprised. From 1970s patchwork to sharply tailored suiting, this staple got multiple reinventions on the spring catwalks.
Patchwork? Ew!
Well, pace (patche?) Tommy Hilfiger (foremost champion of this look), but we're not sure that's a look for us, either. But we are feeling the workwear vibe of this off-white longline denim jacket (£85, plumo.com, pictured above). It's a little bit norm, a little bit labcoat, but the pale hue and cropped sleeves give it an optimistic, it-might-actually-be-getting-warmer kind of feel.
OK, getting on board…
Excellent. After the jacket, le denim deluge. Maxi skirts, all-in-ones, shirts… We like Asos's oversized "chuck on" shirt dress (£40, asos.com).
Can I just wear jeans?
Hmm, jeans alone barely register on the denim scale, so you'll need to layer it up. Indulge in double denim while you can, lest it fall into fashion purgatory for another 20 years.
