Because apparel has always been a part of people’s identities, it’s rather difficult to discuss the culture of any time period without mentioning fashion. And while modern travel and the internet have allowed for a much broader range of style choices, fashion remains a tool of self-expression and identification today.
Within the current U.S. fashion scene, a few trends inspired by various aspects of American culture have been on our editors’ radars recently, all of which have denim at the forefront. With the help of Levi’s® new collection (which includes lots of perfectly fitting denim and other wardrobe staples, by the way), three Who What Wear fashion editors each styled a spring look that represents the fashion trend that has caught their attention this year: normcore, coastal cowgirl, and modern romantic. Keep reading for a closer look at each one—and their expert styling tips, of course.
Her look is comprised of several of the aforementioned pieces with the addition of favorite staples including a crisp white button-down, ribbed tank, and an oversize trench coat (the perfect spring layering jacket, might I add). “One thing I love about the aesthetic is that most of us already have these elevated basics in our wardrobes, so it’s easy for anyone to get the look,” Collings says. But she did, in fact, add some newness to her closet: these jeans. “My perfect pair of jeans is super relaxed and mid-rise, nothing too high—we’re going for comfort here, but it’s also important that the rear view look decent,” she explains. “Length should pool just slightly at my shoes without dragging on the ground, and the wash should be a rich medium-blue color. The fit and rich, blue wash are my favorite elements of the Levi’s Baggy Dad Jeans.”
