What better day to express our love for the basic blues than on National Denim Day! This street-style favourite provides endless possibilities when it comes to mixing and matching. From classic Calvin’s to Levi’s famous 501’s, this ultimate wardrobe must-have flatters all shapes and sizes. This spring, freshen up your wardrobe with the right accessories to doll up your favourite pair of jeans.

Call us Canadian, but denim on denim has never looked so good. This reliable wardrobe staple can be dressed up or down with the help of sophisticated silhouettes and crisp white accessories. Master of basics and J.Crew creative director, Jenna Lyons, has been known to pair a light-wash denim shirt with ankle-skimming skinny jeans and sky-high stilettos. Equally stylish Canadian tuxedo devotee, Leandra Medine, was recently spotted at New York Fashion Week with a patchwork denim shirt and rhinestone-studded boyfriend jeans. Phillip Lim proved he knew a thing or two about denimology when he sent models down his New York Fashion Week runway in a patchwork ensemble of varying shades of denim and chambray. Take your favourite flared, skinny, and bootcut pieces for a spin because the denim trend is one that’s here to stay.

See Beyoncé and Solange’s looks up close »

Beyoncé and Solange Knowles may be two of music’s most powerful sisters. But while they share the ability to create beautiful music, the two couldn’t be more different when it comes to style. Beyoncé’s style has evolved over the years, but recently we are used to seeing her in sexy bodycon dresses, short shorts, and lots of black. Solange, on the other hand, tends to favour bright colours, African prints and breezy, loose cuts.

So when Beyoncé was spotted in Cuba this week looking a lot like her little sister, we couldn’t help but do a double take. On vacation for her wedding anniversary with Jay-Z, Beyoncé donned a colourful Thakoon Addition Resort 2013 caftan overtop a dress while exploring the streets of Havana. With her hair tied up in a braided topknot, the singer looked spectacular while breaking slightly outside of her fashion comfort zone.

Printed mini-dresses are typically Solange’s forte. Last summer she wore a chic Stella McCartney frock with strappy sandals to an event celebrating Michael Kalish’s artwork in New York. After seeing Beyoncé in Cuba this week, we couldn’t help but be reminded of this Solange style hit.
