There was a time in the not too distant past when you would seldom see denim on a catwalk.
The runway shows were supposed to be aspirational, so they said, a showcase for the most glamorous gowns and the swankiest suits; this was no place for a pair of jeans.
Now? That couldn't be further from the truth. As the line between high fashion and streetwear continues to blur, denim has become a catwalk mainstay, even with brands known for their uber-glam aesthetic, like Dolce and Gabbana, Dior and Balmain.
In fact, at the SS19 shows, designers were particularly denim obsessed, with Balmain's Olivier Rousteing creating a variety of distressed and deconstructed jackets and skirts, while Dior and Celine both showed tie-dye baggy jeans.
The Eighties effect was also in full swing at Proenza Schouler and Isabel Marant, where acid-wash dresses were teamed with slouchy boots.
What's great about this season's denim is that it's about more than just jeans, and now the high street is offering catwalk-inspired pieces that will liven up your wardrobe.
Take your pick from spring's denim delights with these five key looks...
1. Denim dresses
While baggy jeans might be making a come back, when it comes to dresses, we're seeing a trend towards feminine and fitted styles.
Whether belted, button-down or zip-up, these frocks are fabulous for showing off your curves, and can be layered over a rollneck or T-shirt on cooler days.

If you've been wearing the same low-slung cut-off jean shorts for as many summers as you can remember, it's time for a change.
Switch your Daisy Dukes for a pair of Eighties-style paperbag shorts - you'll thank us if you do. The high waist is really flattering and the acid-wash finish is catwalk approved.
