If spoken of survival, denim could be touted as a bonafide survivor. Since its discovery as a uniform for the workers, it has retained its place in every man's wardrobe (even today). But wait, it hasn't run its course. There's a new variant introduced in the market every day, a brand new treatment is thought of and within minutes, an A-lister is wearing it already. But with time, how does one get better at this? Post years and years, mature into wearing denim like an adult? Let architect, Chetan Suri lay down the nuances for you...

1. Athleisure + Florals + Checks = Adulthood

Shocked? Me too. But with time, you rather combine three trends to bring out your best. While the wrath of the denim is impactful enough, dramatic tops will create a bigger flame. Bring out adult hood's favourite print, checks + fashion's IT-word, athleisure + groundbreaking florals for summer to whip out the perfect recipe for denim. But notice the coordinated colours to avoid a visual mess. That's key.

2. Raw(r) Denim

Ripped jeans are for hipsters and a plain wash, too basic for you. As a full-grown adult, choose the purest form of denim—raw denim. But remember, the fit here is tricky. Since selvage/raw denim stretches to only about an inch, your fitting room visit will decide your fate. Lastly, go for the slim fits, and nothing too skinny. Your fit should be tighter on the hips and butt, not so much on the waist.

3. Choose Loafers Over Sneakers

Come to the white sneakers or rompers for men, bit loafers will never really go out of style. They're the biggest classics to be reckoned with. As a matured move, pick the loafer with this classic worn-in look. If not the beard, your footwear will surely add years to you (in a good way, obvi)!

‘30 days of Denim' is a social experiment of sorts, or in layman terms, the ultimate Denim guide, on how to inject your personality, and inherent sense of self into, say, a basic-ass pair of jeans. Bonus: It features 30 really cool men, all with very distinct style sensibilities, but primarily, each having an innate love for all things denim.
