When we say denim, you may not immediately think of summer and hot weather, but we have some tips to show how denim can be a great part of your summer wardrobe.
Of course, no summer wardrobe is complete without a great pair of denim shorts. In past seasons, we’ve seen lots of cutoffs and short shorts with distressing, but this season we’re seeing a return to a longer style, like this Bermuda short from GAP. While these have a little distressing, the longer style offers a great deal of coverage, plus they’re more comfortable.
Speaking of comfort, check out these easy shorts, also from Gap. They feature a drawstring waist and a lighter fabrication for ultimate summer relaxation. And denim doesn’t just have to be part of your clothing, these espadrille slides from GAP are the perfect way to make denim work for accessories. So as you can see, there are many style options when it comes to denim shorts this summer.
If you’re looking for something a little different than shorts, but with the same amount of coverage, look for a great denim skort, like this one from Zara. This look also proves that denim doesn’t have to be blue – see the dark wash on this skort. And while this hat is made of denim, this fun, leopard print adds a twist. With these pieces it’s easy to have a little fun this summer with your denim.
In past seasons, we’ve seen the return of midi- or maxi-length denim skirts. We love the playful take of this midi skirt from Mango. The asymmetrical seaming and the lightweight texture of this skirt help it to move and flow, which offers a comfortable breathability that’s perfect for summer. Paired with a crisp white button up, and a brown belt, this look elevates summer denim.
For an even more polished take on denim, try a dress this season. This strapless, maxi length dress is from GAP. Or if you’re looking for a shorter option, this mini dress by Cinq à Sept, available at Nordstrom, features a darker indigo dyed denim, a refined take on the trend. This dress is stretchy and comfortable, with a twist detail in the center. Paired with gold jewelry and pearls, these looks are perfect for an evening out.
No denim segment is complete without jeans. Right now it’s all about the wide leg style. And this pair from Gregory’s features another trend: embellishments. The writing on these jeans are the lyrics to Yellow by Coldplay, and they’re also embellished with fun rhinestone detail. These jeans are fun and playful and offer a little something different to your ordinary everyday denim.
And finally, the ultimate summer denim trend: white jeans. We’ve seen bright white jeans in the past, but this summer opt for an ecru or cream color for a more modern take on the trend. This pair from H&M offers a baggier fit and a relaxed style. Plus, the attached tie at the waist gives the whole look a beach vibe.
As you can see, there are so many great options for denim this summer no matter what your style or the occasion. All these looks and more can be found at Galleria Dallas.
