Bye-bye Kaftans? Are Baggy Jeans The New Go-To Cover Ups?

Emily Ratajkowski and Bella Hadid think so...

POSTED BY EMILY BARKHAM

Bye-bye caftans? News just in, crochet two pieces, wide leg linen trousers and maxi skirts are no longer the beach cover-ups of choice. Be prepared, these next words may shock you…denim jeans have taken over the sandy runway this season. Celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski are two of the pioneers of this new and surprising deviation from fashion norms.

 

Now we all understand the dread of heaving up wet denim over our hips, throw sand into that mix and you’ve got yourself a salty nightmare. So why has it become an oceanside essential? The answer is that strangely, denim and the ocean look as though they belong together. Denim jeans are casual, which makes them a great choice for achieving that ‘model off duty’ look we are all trying to recreate. See below to observe how these two Victoria’s Secret Angels style this new trend in two easily replicable looks.

With low waisted jeans and a simple bikini top, bare feet and a bandana, Bella Hadid showcases below just how harmoniously the beach and denim chic marry together.

Emily Ratajkowski also opts for the denim trend but chooses looser, boyfriend-fit jeans with distressing at the knee. Ratajkowski adds a pink bikini top, gold hoop earrings and a baseball cap to complete the chilled-out, beachy vibe.
