Jump into the world of vintage jeans and explore the endless styling possibilities with EDWIN. When it comes to fashion, denim is a timeless fabric that never goes out of style. While trends may come and go, our love for vintage jeans only grows stronger. Known for its durability and effortless casual vibe, denim is a must-have in every wardrobe. Whether you’re dressing for the office or enjoying a weekend outing, jeans are your reliable go-to.
What is vintage denim?
Vintage denim has woven itself into the fabric of fashion history, embodying a timeless appeal that transcends generations. Originating in the late 19th century as durable workwear for laborers, denim has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into a cultural icon embraced by rebels, musicians, and fashion enthusiasts alike. From the classic Levi's 501s that became synonymous with youth culture in the 1960s to the distressed styles that dominated the 1990s, vintage denim tells a story of rebellion and individuality. Today, the resurgence of vintage-inspired jeans highlights a growing trend towards sustainable fashion, where unique, pre-loved pieces are celebrated for their character and history. As we delve deeper into this fascinating evolution, we’ll explore the enduring allure of vintage denim and its impact on contemporary style.
How to style vintage denim
To style vintage jeans for every season, focus on pairing them with versatile tops like a plain white tee, layering with jackets or sweaters depending on the weather, and selecting footwear that complements the overall look, whether it's sneakers for casual days or boots for colder months; adapt the style based on the jean cut (wide leg, straight leg, etc.) and add accessories like a statement belt or precious metal earrings, to elevate the outfit.
Here are some fun outfit ideas and accessories to pair with vintage jeans that highlight their incredible versatility. Fit is important to create a comfortable but stunning look, and we'll give you some tips for dressing them up or down with layers, footwear, and complementary tops—all available at EDWIN. Trying out different styles like EDWIN's Marli Wide-Leg Insert in Fowler which features surplus reworked raw vintage denim, or our groovy Manhattan Jumpsuit in Grove can really help you appreciate the classic vibe of vintage denim. With options like slim and skinny, straight, relaxed and boyfriend, wide leg and baggy, bootcut and flared, cropped to curvy—Edwin's got every outfit covered from vibe to fit with endless styling possibilities.
For a chill day, high-waisted jeans with a crop top or oversized shirt will do the trick. And do not underestimate the chic look of an all-denim silhouette (Canadian tuxedos anyone?), matching light washes like our Nova Relaxed Wide-Leg in Crisis with our Teri Trench in Odyssey.. For extra texture, add our Velvet Blazer in Deep Lagoon for a work day to night out look, with a casual or professional touch. Throw on our cropped Maya denim jacket over a dress or skirt for a classic 90's it girl look. Ready to take your denim game to the next level?
