Chic or Unique: R13 Denim Coat

Distressed denim is one of the trendiest fabrics to come from the cool people in London last year. Design duo Marques Almeida were the early champions of the look as was Faustine Steinmetz.

Chic: This frayed denim anorak from R13 screams ’90s revival with a new take for today’s millennial. It has a utilitarian look, plenty of pocket space, and a hood to shield the elements. With New York Fashion Week starting this week, wear this jacket if you want to get snapped by the street style bloggers and called chic by the fashion brigade.

Unique: Has it been left in the attic since the ’90s and the moth ate the best part of it?
