One thing we love about working at Black White Denim is that we’re never out of inspiration for new outfits and trying out new looks (plus our wishlist is never empty as we’re always lusting after something)! Curious to find out what’s on our Xmas wishlists? Read on to find out…

“This season I am obsessed with all things leather, it started off with finding the perfect leather boots and slowly turned into leather paperbag shorts, a leather oversized blazer and a quilted leather bomber jacket! The Agolde Recycled Leather 90’s Pinch Waist trousers in Detox are at the top of my wishlist, they’re so versatile and would look great with a bra top and oversized blazer for festive drinks but also super-cool with a baggy sweatshirt and chunky sneakers for shopping the new year sales. As an added bonus they’re made from recycled leather so not only will they be an investment pressie but I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing it’s sustainable leather! I’m a huge fan of Axel Arigato so it’s no surprise I’ll be asking for the new Marathon R-Tic sneakers in white and orange. The all-white colourway will look clean and fresh for the new year and the flash of orange is a bright pop of colour that will carry me through all the way to summer.”

“I’ve been loving the elevated lockdown loungewear trend and my plans between Christmas and new year involve a lot of lounging around, dog walks and of course eating and drinking all the festive treats! Bow & Bo’s Mel Tracksuit in Hunter Green is screaming my name!! It’ll be the perfect attire for chilly dog walks layered under a puffer coat with a beanie and scarf and will be great for lazy sofa days. What I love most about a matching tracksuit is the versatility and being able to even dress them up with boots, and this season my boots are needing a fresh upgrade! I’ve been making serious hints about wanting the Shoe Biz Copenhagen Ulla boots in cream, not only a fresh colour to brighten up the new year but also a knee-high will look great with a miniskirt for going-out drinks.”

“I’m always on the hunt for something new and eye-catching and this season has been no exception. This Xmas I have my sights set on Shoe Biz Copenhagen’s Ulrica boots in taupe, grey & black! I love the taupe colour because they stand out against both black and blue denim which you don’t typically get from a black boot. The panelled Nubuck and leather give an ultra-luxe look whilst the chunky rubber sole is bang on-trend and modernises the classic ankle boot style. When it comes to compiling a chic winter wardrobe, investing in sumptuous knitwear is key. Samsoe Samsoe is one of our star brands for knits and the new season is so dreamy, the Ember Turtleneck in Chocolate Chip is top of my list! The knit is super-soft and the buttery colour way just makes me want to melt into it and cocoon myself in the cosiness. (It’d also look amazing with the must-have Ulrica boots, hint hint…)”

“After such a hectic and busy year, I can’t wait for some relaxing down-time between Christmas and the new year! This year I’ll be asking for More Joy’s Embroidered Classic Cropped Hoody and Classic Joggers in black for the ultimate luxe-loungewear look. I’m most definitely a fan of the monochromatic style and it is very rare for me to be seen wearing much colour so I will definitely get my wear out of the More Joy coordinating hoodie and joggers. The simple white embroidered logo is soooo chic and the cropped shape of the hoodie elevates the look and would look great paired with some distressed denim and boots! Santa, please…”

“This year has gone so quick and Christmas is just around the corner, I can’t believe it! It feels so good to be looking forward to a new year, hopefully a better one for all of us, and I’m more than ready to shake up my denim and say goodbye to my comfies. I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect pair of jeans, a soft stretch, flattering cut and a style that will last a lifetime. Frame’s Le High Flare Degradable in Handcrafted Destruct hits all my criteria, making it my Xmas must-have! The slim-flare cut and blue-wash colour is a classic and combined with eco-friendly and sustainable fabric means that they are a lifetime investment (plus the added stretch means I can still enjoy my Christmas chocolates…)! One of my new year resolutions is to inject some colour into my wardrobe and Fund’s Darling jumper in Nasturtium Orange does just that! The eye-popping embroidered ‘Darling’ is a nod to the Coco Chanel quote “Don’t be like the rest of them darling”, what not to love?! Bring on the new year…”
Courtney- Ecommerce Manager
“Is there anything more exciting than putting together your Xmas wishlist? This Christmas I’ll be adding the More Joy doormat to my list and hopefully it’ll be sitting outside my very own first home very soon… It’s such a chic gift for all fashion-lovers and is something that you wouldn’t typically buy for yourself so is such a nice treat to receive. My outerwear wardrobe is in need of some newness, I have a missing puzzle piece that will keep me warm when I go out for drinks but don’t want to commit to carrying my puffer coat to the bar. Frame’s Le Oversized jacket in Clash is exactly what I’m needing! The Clash stone-wash and oversized fit is edgy and cool and would look great over the shoulders with a knitted turtleneck and miniskirt or shorts. PLUS it’ll be a brilliant piece in spring and summer with light airy dresses, so I will be looking for this jacket under my tree…”
Have a lovely December and a fabulous Christmas!
