What To Wear With A Denim Bag.

Just like an LBD (Little Black Dress), denim never goes out of style. It is an evergreen trend and versatile fashion pieces. We've seen more denim since 2023. Denim outfits and accessories are nothing new on the runway, as well as on fashion-forward individuals. But not everyone can style a denim handbag right. 

Denim was a big hit during the early 2000s. It was the time when you saw Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Beyonce out & about with their designer denim accessories and clothing. The recent denim comeback is inspired from that era. Today, functionality, sustainability and versatility are what conscious consumers are looking for in a handbag.

On this blog post, you will find six outfits from NZ clothing stores to pair with our popular OAKLEY denim bag.

 

The OAKLEY bag has a classic silhouette of a flap-top bag (or I might say a baguette bag) with an antique gold-tone hardware. A simple design that you can wear to any occasion. The bag comes with an adjustable strap and a shorter shoulder strap. You can switch and adjust the length to suit your look du jour. A great way to use is as a crossbody bag. It's very convenient as you can have your hands free to carry shopping bags, a coffee, grocery bags and so on. 

Denim on denim is what trending and is one of those styles that is somehow always fashionable, and depending on how you style, it can easily go from day to night. Though denim is a timeless item, there's a few things you should avoid when styling denim, as that might make it look dated, for example, all denim with cowboy boots. Also, don't wear the same colour top and bottom. Try different shades of the same denim colour.

 

Achieve a chic monochromatic style like the looks from Country Road and Max by wearing our blue denim handbag with a powder blue stripe shirt and light wash jeans, or dark/black linen co-ord set, maintaining a polished, cohesive look. Denim can also tone down bold colours/prints on your outfit like you can see with a dress from City Chic. With gold hardware, you can pair Oakley with a gold print dress like the one from Tuesday.


When it comes to denim fabric, it is all about colour contrast and textures. Use the OAKLEY bag as your key piece and create different looks based on the shade of the bag. Like a white denim shirt & short from Aje. or blue trousers and a brick colour work shirt from Kate Sylvester with a shoulder bag. And, when in doubt, match a denim bag with your shoes. Denim shoes come in a wide variety such as mules, sandals, loafers and sneakers. However, go for a pair of neutral shoes if you already have denim top & bottom.

There really are no rules on how to wear a denim. Try them with different shades and styles to see what you like. And most importantly, wear a denim that you feel comfortable in and let your personality shine!
