19 Cool Denim Accessories That '90s Kids Will Love
There's nothing better than a pair of classic denim that fits you like a glove. No matter what you pair it with, you feel super sexy and ready to take on the world (why isn't there a female superhero in jeans?) — But set aside jeans for a second, denim accessories are truly where it's at. Can I get a hell yeah from the '90s kids?
Though I do love me a perfect pair of denim, jean shopping is the bane of my existence. As a petite girl, everything is way, way too long, no matter how many times I fold them up. Or, you know, the pockets practically sit on my thighs and I've got enough fabric at the end to make a whole new set of pants. Ok, maybe not that much, but you get the point. So finding a pair of good jeans is like striking gold. But what I've come to love about denim the past few years is that it comes in many silhouettes and styles beyond the classic pair of jeans. Denim jackets, vests, and patches are equally as cool.
Everywhere I look in New York City, I'm inspired by a new way to wear denim. Street stylers always make denim jackets look painfully cool, with chic patches and quirky little buttons. And once, I even saw someone pull off a repurposed jean bag. This city is chock full of denim inspo, and I can only hope that one day, I'll be able to rock a jean choker without thinking twice. The point is: The more unexpected way to wear it, the better.
Don't believe me? Just watch (I might have stolen that one from Bruno Mars).
