How to Wear Denim in Spring and Summer

Laura Leiva
Even though it is warming up for spring and summer, keep your denim out and add a few stylish clothing options and accessories. No matter what your personal style is, denim goes with everything in your closet and whether you have jean shorts or pants, there are plenty of new ideas to keep the look fresh and light for the warmer days ahead. Here are a few updates you can make to your denim collection this spring and summer:

Tops

Whether you have denim jeans or shorts, pairing either of them with a lightweight frilly top is perfect to keep the look girly and casual. Keep it fresh for spring by accessorizing your denim with a pair of flats or strappy sandals. Take the same look into night by simply throwing on a pair of heels. For the cooler spring temps or evenings at the beach, add a button-down flannel shirt over a tank top for a laid-back look.

Jewelry

Just because denim is casual doesn't mean you can't amp up your look with some jewelry. Keep it simple by adding a chunky ring to one of your fingers, or a pair of dangling turquoise earrings. Adding simple jewelry designs allows you to enhance the look without clashing two different styles.

Bags

Since you are going for the casual look, choose an oversize bag or tote to go with your day style. Leather bags with metal detail like grommets pair well with jeans, as do hobo totes. Keep the bag medium size to be functional and casual. A small clutch is perfect for night, especially when paired with jeans and a shimmery top.
