I spy

Humble denim is getting a revamp for 2012 with a plethora of colours and patterns bursting onto the fashion scene. Every Summer we dip our toes into the pool of vivid denim but this year will see us dive head first into a mash up of neons, stripes, prints, the list goes on!

Do not restrict your search for the perfect pair to the usual denim favourites like Topshop, however, as everywhere from the high street to the high fashion boutiques have launched exciting and innovative designs.
