Denim is a classic and if you didn’t know that… well, now you do. If you pay close attention to all the fashion trends going on in the world, then you know that denim came and went and now it’s back again. Truthfully, I love denim. It’s a staple in my closet and I hope it is in yours too. You just can never go wrong with a jean jacket and of course you have the most popular item, jeans, which I think everyone from almost all walks of life wear. Do you love denim? If so, I have all the ways you’ll want to wear denim this summer and even heading into fall.
The denim shirt has come and gone and now here it is back in style. Many people pair this shirt with either black leggings and boots or a mini skirt with heels. You could even do denim on denim which is becoming very popular. What I love about this look is how you can either dress it up or dress it down. If you’re just doing chores around the house, wear a white t-shirt underneath and you’ll be as comfortable as ever. You could also pair your denim shirt with white or black skinny jeans, khakis, a floral skirt or even a skirt that has animal prints on it. Many of my friends wear their denim shirts with a tulle skirt or just a light pair of jeans (as long as the shirt is a couple shades darker).

Wear your denim shorts with a white t-shirt with a pop of red in a banana.

I love the denim jacket and so should you. In fact, I have a couple of these in my closet right now that I am about to wear out for the weekend. Truth is, the jean jacket should be one of your most worn denim items. Not only is it fashionably cute, but it’s versatile, meaning you can wear it with almost absolutely anything and do no wrong. If you’re not sure how to wear the denim jacket, I have been right where you are because it took me years to figure out the best looks. It’s easy though. Wear it with a white t-shirt and sneakers, dress pants with a nice shirt underneath, button-down shirt and loafers, a sweater if you’re going out on a date night and you can even wear denim on denim. In the summer, I usually pair my jean jacket with a white t-shirt and shorts. For me, this is my go-to outfit because it’s quick and easy, but it looks put together and is effortlessly chic.

I truly don’t believe that I know a person who does not wear denim jeans. They’re a classic, forever in style until the end of time. I don’t know about you, but I have about a dozen pairs of denim jeans in my closet. Some are new, some are old, some are just crappy jeans for when I paint and don’t want to ruin my good jeans. What I do love about them is how durable they are. They last a very very long time which means you don’t have to keep buying a new pair every few months or so. They are worth the investment because I don’t know about you, but I wear jeans almost every single day because they are versatile and go with absolutely everything. Now they don’t just come in blue either, but almost every color of the rainbow which makes mixing and matching outfits incredibly fun. So what should you wear with your denim jeans? Add a blazer with some heels a graphic t-shirt, a simple white t-shirt and some cute comfy sneakers, if you’re wearing dark jeans, then pair it with some bright colors so that they contrast one another. The ideas are endless.
