{Denim} ...

the New {Tuxedo}?

It used to be that denim attire was the outfit of choice for activities that were menial in nature or that required heavy labor. That was then when Levi's cornered the market for outfitting those that desired the laid-back, easy look of a long, lazy summer afternoon.

Fast-forward to today. With such haute fashion names as True Religion, Applebottom, J Brand, Juicy Couture, 7 For all Mankind by Style and Mavi, there are many fashion trendsetters who would, arguably, announce that you are not 'properly dressed' unless you are sporting a pair of high fashioned {read- high priced}, body hugging, hip riding denim.

By the looks of some of the ladies in the pictures below, denim is here and making a 'high' style statement! Perhaps if you are stuck for a 'theme' for one of your upcoming events/parties, you can turn to the world of high profile fashion for your answer.
