Raw Denim:
“What Is Raw Denim?
Rather, when is denim classified as "raw"? The answer to this question is amazingly simple. It all has to do with washing. Raw Denim is any denim that is untreated or unwashed and is therefore left in an unadulterated form. The opposite of this is pre-washed, pre-distressed, or treated denim. Below is an example to illustrate the difference.”
Wearing raw denim can result in
sickfades.

Layering:A major key to putting your outfit together is layers. Layering can either be
executed well or
not so great.
A few pieces to consider when layering are:
Curved hem and Long Line:
Seriously, layer your long stuff under your short stuff and your big stuff over your thin stuff, the point of the curved hem and longline tees are to hang lower than the rest of your tops and the top is hidden so the curv hangs out and acts as a sort of accent.
A few combinations for layering are:
Hoodie under coat/jacket
Flannel over Hoodie
long line tee/curved hem under a normal tee under a light jacket
Layering can also apply to
socks the picture here illustrates a pair of thin wool socks with the models pants tucked into them, when you combine thin fabrics it flows smoothly and is pleasing to the eye
