Defining denim is definitely a trend to look out for this fall. As the weather starts to cool down and the shorts get put away, fall is all about our favorite wardrobe staple: denim jeans. They are the go to of southern California cool for fall and this season they are getting a major makeover. Slouchy, skinny, ripped and torn, zippers, flares and washes galore. This season’s denim is a jean addict’s fix. A new style that you will be seeing this year is the jean legging that seems like its sole purpose of creation was to make wearing boots even more fun. Tuck the knit legging from our fave Frankie B. adorned with the traditional 5-pocket details of a traditional denim jean into suede boots for the ultimate glam-rock look. Or pull on a pair of knee-high flat boots over the Twiggy from James Jeans with ultra-stretch denim that fits and molds to you like a pair of leggings (dubbed the “jegging”) for a classic approach. Either way you will be making a statement in this cool sexy silhouette this fall. Distressing is back and bigger than ever with all-over shreds and rips. Check out the super-distressed styles from Frankie B., Paige Premium, 1921 and Hudson. Keep up with the “What’s New” category to not miss out on the ankle zip skinny and ultra-flare styles arriving from Paige Premium. With that much variety, this fall will spice up any standard bootcut wardrobe with zest to last all year. Please post any questions or comments about your denim needs and wishes and we will be sure to answer them. Until next time, stay fun and fearless.

The Daily Dress April 17, 2009
Sometimes an ensemble might require some statement jewelry to spice it up, but what if the outfit spoke for itself? Better yet, what if the outfit only consisted of one piece of clothing to put on? Sound too good to be true? Well it’s not, it’s just The Daily Dress.
A new brand that you need to look out for at Raw is the fun and flirty The Daily Dress. These comfortable 100% cotton dresses are as easy to slip on and go, as they are to dress up for any occasion. Pair them with a belt and wedges for a more put together outfit or with some Havaianas flip-flops for a casual approach. The Daily Dress is the perfect summer staple, and in a city like San Diego where it is summer year round, you cannot have enough of these dresses in your wardrobe. Aptly named, the versatility these dresses carry from day to day allow you to wear them as a cover-up for the beach, to a backyard BBQ, running around town or down the grocery aisle. Adorned with funky and original prints ranging in an array of bright fashionable colors, you are sure to fall in love with The Daily Dress.
Spring Trends March 26, 2009
One of the most important ideals we share at Raw is to enable you to express yourself through fashion. We try to keep comfort and affordability in mind, while helping you to look your best in whatever you wear.
The best way to accomplish this is by scouting out the newest freshest brands as well as tried and true favorites.
Staying on top of the latest fashion trends is key to incorporating fun into your personal style.
This Spring there are some new trends surfacing into the fashion world as well as some reinvented ones we have seen before. A big trend that you might have already seen popping up on celebrities and hip trailblazers alike is this season’s boyfriend jean. Worn to mimic the laid-back, broken in look of your boy’s favorite pair of denim, these jeans are a must-have addition to your wardrobe this spring. Paired with a flowy feminine top and heels for a girly-girl look with a twist or with a pocket tee and sneakers for a cute, playful tomboy look…you can’t go wrong! Meant to be worn slightly baggy or for a comfortable relaxed fit I recommend sizing down. Right now we have two great bf jeans by Paige Premium denim and the ever-popular cult favorite Frankie B. Both come adorned with slight distressing and are best worn cuffed.
Whether you are a fashionista or just plain clueless about fashion, trends are a way for you to explore your stylish side. How safe you play it or daring you want to be is entirely up to you.
Shine on, shop local, and most importantly, have fun!
Flowers are one of the first things that come to mind when I think of Spring. And although it might first come off as cliché, flowers are always a trend you will see this time of year, it’s a give-in. But to give it a new spin, you will be seeing more floral prints in men’s apparel and we have some great floral inspired prints in the store. Warning: Men, it is ok to wear floral, not only will it look good if you wear it confidently, it will be sure to get you noticed in a great way…believe me!! Now I’m not talking little pink tulips all over your shirt, but anything that has that fresh spring inspiration works. Paisley prints, appliqués and bright bold colors all tie-in to this trend. Dare to be different in an all-over print or a shirt in a great shade of purple, orange, or green.
Come by the store or browse under what’s new to see some great floral inspired prints from Ben Sherman, English Laundry, and 7 Diamonds.
Remember keep it fun and fresh and you are half way there!
