Top Ways to Style Denim for Summer | Outfit Inspiration

As I’m typing this blog post, I am in excruciating pain! I suffer from denegerative disc disease in the lower back and it is kicking my butt today. Anyhoo…you’re here to read all about how to style your denim during summer! Denim is all of the rage and I want to share what I know with you. In today’s post I am going to share different ways you can incorporate denim into your summer wardrobe, that’s not just simply a pair of jeans. I live in Alabama and it’s hot here from June through September so I don’t wear blue jeans often during summer. I look for alternative ways to dress casually during the warmer months by wearing these other denim pieces. Like anything else in fashion, it’s all about how you style your pieces. 

Denim Shorts. Denim shorts are kind of a summer wardrobe staple if you wear shorts. I found these affordable jean shorts from American Eagle about two summers ago and they have held up very well. I ordered a size 12 and got them taken in to fit my waist. Not only are they affordable, they also have a good amount of stretch and distressing (if that’s your thing). I typically style denim shorts with white t-shirts and flip flops. If I want to dress the jeans up a bit, I may add a sandal and a blazer. If you don’t like American Eagle, try a pair by your favorite denim brand/designer.

Denim dresses. I own a chambray shirtdress that I got from Loft years ago and I love it! It’s very flattering and the material is very soft. Denim dresses are very easy to style and like all dresses – they are a one and done outfit. Here is a cute one from Loft that I would recommend or this one by Rag & Bone or this one by Reformation. I style denim dresses with sandals and wedges and I always get compliments on my look.

Denim Jumpsuit. I have had a denim jumpsuit that I got from Loft for years and I love it. It features an opening at the low back with flutter sleeves. Although I can’t link that specific one, but I would recommend this one by Free People, this one by Trina Turk  or this one by Ramy Brook.

Denim Romper. I don’t own a denim romper, but they are super cute! Pair your romper with the right shoes to achieve the desired look and accessories to match. I recommend this one from Loft, this one by Pistola or this one by Blank NYC.

If I buy the set, you KNOW I’m styling the separates. 🤎

One adidas two-piece, five different looks—from distressed denim and printed sneakers to a sleek skirt and boots. And these wide-leg pants? Add a fitted blazer and suddenly sporty feels very polished.

Your closet has more outfit possibilities when you let your pieces mix and mingle. ✨

Which look would you wear: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

Save this for your next outfit planning session and shop the looks through my LTK—link in bio.

Dressed for the meeting AND the “you’re on mute.” 😂💻

Our office Halloween theme is hybrid/telework, so I’m giving business on top, casual on the bottom. A plaid blazer, crisp white shirt, ripped jeans…and bow pumps because even my costume needs a finishing touch. 🎀

Would you call this a costume or just a good Thursday outfit? 😂

Shop the look through the LTK link in my bio.

The kitchen aisle deserves a little attention, too. 😉 Spotted these Staub and Le Creuset finds at HomeGoods, and of course I had to share.

A lot of classic, a little charming… even in the kitchen. 🤍

Which caught your eye—Staub or Le Creuset?

Fall plans? I already have the outfit. 🤎

There’s something about a crisp shirt and tall boots that makes me excited to get dressed. Add a relaxed jacket, let the cuffs peek out, and the weekend outfit is decided.

Save this for your next crisp-weather outing, and shop the look through the LTK link in my bio.
