All Lemaire and/or less is more and/or essentialist lovers, here comes a great news! If you were among (many, believe me…me inclusive) those, who haven´t “reach out” for all of yours favourite, on-wish-list products or even none of them, due the fact that in the uniqlo shops went literally sold out in few hours and in the web-shop you can find only some rare “exemplars”…there´s a second chance! I am not talking about the re-stock of the collection, which can also happen; who knows? I am talking about that Uniqlo confirmed the second collection in collaboration with Lemaire . Spring 2016, here we come!

Did you think that there will not be a women´s denim report? Really? I don´t believe you*. Of course they will. Sorry to say guys, but fashion business is still lead by women’s-wear**, so it´s time to check what or where*** the denim is present resort 2016 collections.

The fashion business is really about denim lately and it will be in upcoming seasons, men and women, none was and will be excluded. It´s ok to buy denim from a fashion brand, but generally most of them are focus on season trends, so you will get a season denim piece; nothing wrong, because after all denim is timeless and almost every piece made of it becomes so. When I decide to buy denim, I always prefer start looking for it between brands that made denim things only. When I´ve said denim things are timeless ones, I meant it, but never got in mind only classic ones, because some brand made really wow things! Below take a at my favourite European denim brands*creating really cool and utilitarian pieces.

MY ESSENTIALS // WHITE / ON-WISH LIST

Talking about essentials...are those things that your wardrobe must have (not extra only one season crap, but pieces that are and will be re-value-ted every season); this spring/summer is a total white one...and i did not choose this color, because of the trendy thing (well, to be sincere, one reason is also this, of course :P ), but because the white as a (non) color for me is something referenced as clean (yes, i am clean and i wash myself, don´t worry!), light, subtle airy...and maaany more. It become (every time more) my essential color (beside black who is still on top of my chart).

Ok not analyzing the color...because it could become boring; here (see on the photo) my basic essential selection...

...a great, great pair of jeans (a really good investment) and guys, Acne Studios in this is one of the best (well, actually my favorite!); so why not a pair of their 06 Skin 5 jeans in optic white .

I pair them with a wider T-shirt from 05 Organic by John Patrick (it could also a nice long shirt dress or anything with fluid effect, to give more drama on your still simple look).

One of must-to-have (truly must-to-have) and a always a great investment (all pieces here i guess they are) is a leather jacket, and Acne Studios is again a master-maker of that too (in my opinion of course :) ); we all (i guess yes) have in our wardrobe a black leather jacket...so here is a turn-in-to white one (i especially Love their model 01 Rita in white ).

Marques´Almeida is the brand that brought jeans in a grunge-couture-ish level, so if you have (or get) a chance to buy one (or more) things from them, do it, because their pieces will give you an extra edge on your look-s and for me their pieces are sooo on essential list, that´s why their 02 gorgeous sleeveless short top is here.

The top will look great with wide, 3/5 to 3/4 long shorts (i want them also in black and leather as i many times reported before); i pick a perfect exemplar from 03 Yang Li (also one of my favorite designers so far).

To close my essential essentials :) we have (one and only slippers) from 04 Vans and simple, elegant with everything possible to combine 07 rings from Sansoeurs ( as i am not a very jewelry type of person, but i simply Love this brand, because their pieces are so nice and pretentious).

We are not finished, because there is one more thing. A sort of creme de la creme (cherry on top ;) ). A bag (exactly a clutch) of course!! By one and only Maison Martin Margiela. I know, i know...this one is not cheap (not at all!!), but i guarantee you (again??!? YES!!) a piece of clutch that no one will ever have (all clutches look mostly the same-so boring) and the form is simple and unique...and did i already mention an evergreen piece?! ;) yes... definitely is.

Oh god...how much words on just 08 pieces...but they are (yours too?) essentials.
