Amidst the glitz and glam of international brands, American designers quietly stole the show, bringing us back to the roots of effortless, practical, yet elevated fashion.

One of the standout American brands that has long been a favourite at The Dressing Room is Rails. Known for its laid-back, California cool aesthetic, Rails delivers pieces that feel modern yet approachable. Rails delivers collections with an easygoing, West Coast-inspired vibe. Flowy dresses, shirts in soft, plaid patterns, effortless button-downs, and lightweight knits make an appearance, all perfect for transitioning into the new season. Their pieces are made for layering, embracing both comfort and style,

Another brand that continues to capture the essence of modern Americana is Rag & Bone. Their collections are a masterclass in urban, downtown cool. With a focus on sleek tailoring, Rag & Bone brings sharp blazers, well-cut trousers, and versatile outerwear into the mix. True to form, their aesthetic marries edgy streetwear with classic tailoring—a fusion that defines the modern American wardrobe. Rag & Bone is particularly beloved at The Dressing Room because it offers that mix of elevated basics and standout pieces that make transitioning from day to night, or work to weekend, seamless.

Denim on Denim: A Trend That’s Here to Stay

No discussion of American fashion is complete without mentioning denim, and September 2024 brought a major revival of the denim-on-denim trend. The look that was once seen as daring or divisive has now firmly established itself as a must-have wardrobe staple, and no one is embracing this trend better than some of the top American denim brands.

Paige Denim, a brand synonymous with high-quality craftsmanship and flattering fits, showcases its take on the trend with a mix of tailored denim jackets, wide-leg jeans, and even denim skirts. Their signature styles are updated with fresh washes and innovative fits that make the denim-on-denim look feel both sophisticated and wearable. The Dressing Room has long been a champion of Paige Denim for its ability to create timeless jeans that never sacrifice comfort for style, making them a perennial favourite for customers who want the best of both worlds.

Frame Denim, another heavy hitter in the American denim scene, takes the trend to new heights with its chic and polished take on denim dressing. From structured denim shirts to high-waisted jeans that hugged every curve just right, Frame Denim brings an elevated approach to the denim-on-denim trend. Their pieces work beautifully both for casual outings and more formal settings, making them ideal for a versatile wardrobe.

Not to be left out, Agolde brings a youthful edge, offering distressed jeans, and retro-inspired silhouettes that give the denim-on-denim look a rebellious yet nostalgic feel. Their pieces evoke a sense of cool that feels both effortless and intentional—perfect for those who want to make a statement without trying too hard.

Finally, Citizens of Humanity, known for their commitment to sustainability and impeccable fits, offer a more understated approach. With their focus on clean lines and classic cuts, their denim-on-denim looks can look polished and refined, ideal for those who prefer timeless, minimalistic style over trendy embellishments.
