I have just rescued my old washed out jeans from the charity bag. This summer, washed out denim is going to be everywhere. I love denim because it so versatile and hard wearing. A pair of jeans is great for everyday wear and this season the perfect pair is likely to be washed out, faded and ripped denim. This summer denim has a really pale and soft look, perfect for wearing with this seasons florals and romantic ruffles.

For Spring Summer 08 Christopher Kanes show was awash with washed out denim, from slashed skinny jeans, to tiered ruffle skirts and lace up boots to bustier tops. The denim was washed out and distressed with raw unfinished seams.

At D&G the denim was smart with a seventies vibe or scraps of unfinished denim in a patchwork effect. The seventies look was created by teaming wide bottomed jeans with a denim waistcoat and floppy hat.

At Chanel, the denim was glammed up by wearing with delicate jewellery. The collection included a fitted denim jacket, denim swim wear and baggy denim trousers.

At Just Cavalli, a faded denim waistcoat was worn over an animal print shirt for a chic look.
