Originally made in France, denim is a rough cotton fabric that has gained popularity over the years, with denim jeans becoming a classic clothing item. Denim in menswear has passed through many phases, from the classic cowboy look to the high waisted flares of the 1970’s and acid washed jeans and jackets of the 1980’s. These days denim is still as popular as ever, and more recently the trend has been towards a sharp, modern look which can be smartened with shirts or dressed down for a more casual appearance.

When it comes to colour, blue is most definitely in, with all shades from whitewashed to deep indigo catered for. Use blue denim as the backdrop and other colours to complement and enhance, with bolds to add vibrancy and whites to convey a crisp marina style.

There is room for the traditional approach in the modern climate, with dark blue jackets teamed with colourful checked shirts and chinos forming an instantly classic look. For a more minimalist approach try unadorned, clean straight lines, while for the adventurous skinny jeans and experimental approaches are in favour. Low-rise soft denim-linen hybrids are an increasingly popular choice for summer.

Another look gaining popularity is the weathered outdoors look, popularised by an increasing interest in the outdoors and adventure pursuits, and portrayed with faded blues and mustards, while bleached washes are suggestive of the rugged castaway.

G-star clothing is a world leader in setting the pace for contemporary denim menswear. Combining the best craftsmanship and classic elements of denim knowledge with an eye for style and a truly contemporary vision, denim garments are distinctively tailored to structural principles for a sophisticated street look.

The manufacturing process from G-star jeans includes a moulding technique that gives volume to the garment, resulting in an architectural 3D quality. Jeans follow the contours of the body and respond to its mechanics and movement to give maximum comfort and functionality at all times. The tailoring is chic and edgy, qualities that are not opposites but complements in these synergistic garments. Jeans are designed to be fully ergonomic and also feature articulated knees and torqued seams.

The beauty of these classic lines mean that the same garment can be worn in several ways, from the smart casual to the dressed down approach.

When it comes to colour, the modern minimalist approach is reflected in raw, untreated denim that fades naturally in line with the body’s movements. Other approaches utilise treatments from deep indigo dyes to bleached washes and everything in between, creating garments that bring out the beautiful texture and colour of denim and resulting in a swathe of tones with which to mix and match items.

By working in tune with the environment as well as the body, luxury denim can be sustainable and ethical. Garments are created from organic cotton which uses less fertilisers and pesticides, cutting down on our environmental impact and creating honest denim menswear to the highest standards in quality and design.
