The WGSN released this month's trend news earlier today, and one of the points they raised, was the way forward for denim during SS15 into AW15/16.
If you're unfamiliar with the terminology, your helpful friend Yours Truly is here to break them down, with a couple of examples for you, so that you know what to look for in the shops this weekend. Pull up a chair and get comfy...
First up: Stamping

Pattern detail stamped onto the denim. Can be done at home for an individual, one of a kind touch, or bought in-store for standard styling.

| H&M £19.99 - Click to Buy |
The pull of stamping is the customisation for one of a kind individuality, so if you do go for the store-bought option, try to find a way to brand yours to YOU.
Garment Stickers
Another means for customisation, iron stickers onto your choice of garment and make it individual to you:

Concealed Placement
Exactly as it says on the tin, smart concealed placement can lift the status of some pieces from casual to semi-dressy...
 |
| Nordstrom £188.44 |
Decorative Stitch
This one doesn't need too much by way of explanation, it's all about what it says on the tin!
