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.
I hope you enjoyed this post all of styling denim during summer. If you wear denim during summer, let me know how you style your pieces in the comments below.
’til next time!
