When I wrote about the head-to-toe denim look last week<\/a>, I meant it when I said, “Never say never.” I figured most people would pass on the often-unflattering Texas Tuxedo look of jeans and a denim shirt, but that something more wearable would come along. It came along fast! Check out the sophisticated denim looks of the latest Acne\/Lanvin collaboration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The dress shown here is over $1,000 and the jacket over $2,000, but I’m sure all the fast-fashion chains will have inexpensive knockoffs before you know it. (UPDATED TO ADD: Knock yourself out here<\/a>, but it looks like it’s worth every penny of $24.80 and not a cent more. And I got this denim dress<\/a> last year but it’s no longer available.) As the look gets around, I wouldn’t be surprised by a revival of the denim jumpsuit trend that was big in 2001 after Jennifer Lopez wore a Frankie B.<\/a> suit on the cover of her J. Lo album<\/a>. Just last December, Lopez was slammed for slipping back into a denim onesie<\/a>, but I say she was ahead of her time. One of the Beautiful People — actress, singer, model, blogger — will follow in her footsteps and the look will click. Laugh all you want, but remember the scorn heaped on leggings, harem pants and boyfriend jeans<\/a> before those looks gained momentum. Once the eye adjusts, ugly turns into pretty damn desirable.<\/p>\n

And that’s all the excuse I need to repost my favorite Jennifer Lopez clip<\/a>. Hey, J. Lo, do you want to defend your outfit?<\/p>\n
