Closet Refresh: Spring Cleaning Your Denim Closet
Now is the time to give yourself a denim closet spring makeover. With spring break and music festivals in full swing it is the month to get your insanely stylish weekend warrior outfits ready. Shorts are getting cheeky this year for music festivals, so you will now know what to wear to Ultra, SXSW and Coachella. Hemlines are moving up, as are the waistlines, with spring fashion trends for 2017 being all about denim shorts; shorts with high rise waists, cut out detail, fray hems, and embroidery detail. For those cooler evenings, grab some white jeans that show off the ankles to make a statement, because nothing says summer like crisp white denim. Refresh your supply of warm-weather options from STS Blue.“We are ready for spring and summer, and giving girls lots of options to show some leg!” says STS Blue creative director Evelyn Ober. “My favorite spring trend this season is embroidery. You’ll see denim shorts with cool embellishments and embroidered floral detail on a pocket or down one of the legs. It’s a sweet and feminine touch that adds a bit of edge to create a fresh spring look.”
When cleaning your denim collection this spring, remember it’s all about short shorts, jeans with fun hems showing ankles, white skinny jeans, and the return of the boyfriend jean. You’ll see denim shorts with side slits, messy fray hems, embroideries, high-rise, and cut out details. Pair the shorts with some ankle boots and it’s a perfect look for the music festivals. Another popular option this spring will be the button-fly, dark black short with a roll-up hem.
STS Blue can help you with your wardrobe refresh. The line offers trendy, adorable and affordable options for girls anywhere who want to wear the Southern California, LA style look that can be seen at all the music festivals.
“Your legs have been covered up long enough all winter long,” adds Ober. “It’s time to clean out your denim closet and show some leg! Grab your spring festival fashions at STSBlue.com.”
