Spring/Summer 2017 is reported to be a banner year for jeans and all things denim in the fashion press. Blue, black, white . . . faded, dark wash, distressed . . . ripped, fringed, patchworked, embroidered, sequined. . . fun and imagination reigns over this trend. Looks range from delicate floral embroidery to fun iron-on patches or opt for flashy embellished florals inspired by Gucci.

The little denim dress, shorts, skirts, and jackets are among the fray . . . and are frayed, as well!
