Top 5 Denim Trends and more importantly How to Wear Them

By far the most asked question we get here at Encrypted is "how do I wear them?"  We get it, the denim world is exploding with endless possibilities.  Great, until you find yourself drowning in all these possibilities.  It's hard to believe that 2021 is finally here but it couldn't have come any faster.  Considering the Capitols recent storming by Handmaids and it happening on only day 6 of the new year, 2021 has had a tumultuous beginning.  We could all use some clarity, on a lot of things, until then we're here to help you with your denim style. 


Denim stands completely alone in its own category. Makes sense since its probably the option of choice for the vast majority.  Maybe the most functional of all fabrics, denim can be worn almost anywhere.  Obviously, we can't go through all the possible denim options out there but we'll cover the top 5.
