Trend: Americana “Born to Run”

Our latest look book “Born to Run” celebrates America, emphasizing a trend that is so innate in this country it’s hard not to love it. Born to Run is all about washed denim, cutoffs, denim shirting and flares that have all been reinvented to fit in perfectly with this trend. The colours red, white and blue are strong and, yes, converses are in the mix!

When I think about this trend and can’t help but reference the past — the rebel James Dean comes to mind with his strong American road attitude, Daisy Duke from the Duke of Hazards for her pure hotness in the look, and the effortlessly cool Uma Thurman in the Gus Van Sant Film “Even Cowgirls get the Blues.”

We’ve all been huge fans of the double denim Canadian Tuxedo look for quite some time and this is just a new twist into it.

There are two ways I’d like to wear this trend: going all out with the denim on denim look and teaming the outfit with Converses

Or wearing a patriotic shirt with a feminine white dress and making it playful with studded Converses — the key is to tone it down and have a cool attitude about your look

Perhaps it’s your guys’ fault as to why I’ve worn some sort of denim in the last two days.
Always inspired by this blog.

It’s funny… here in Canada we call denim-on-denim a Texas Tuxedo. >_<
