The Sunshine State - the original denim state is where worship of the original and the romance begins again every summer. It has become less about new jeans, more about the original and customising carefree fashion from a denim base. Focus on summer sun doing little or nothing with denims being your only clothing. That's all you need.

Denim style today should be core basic, sun bleached from light indigos and whites. Easy fits, classic 70's styles ruled by shorts, shirts and skirts. Vintage inspiration from last century yet modern for the 21st. Keep it simple with an eye to the original.
