From what I've, today's denim is definitely more fitted. Just last year, during my big closet clean out, I got rid of a denim shirt, When I heard denim shirts were back in style, I was frustrated that I'd gotten rid of it. But after seeing catalogs and Angie's post on it, I realized it never would have worked in the current fashion. Wa-ay too big.
Sarah, I remember Angie saying a thrifted denim shirt would work as well as a designer style. I guess it's all in the fit.
