Denim is having a renaissance. While classic, crisp denim blue jeans are always in fashion, there’s of course, more to this durable fabric than just pants. The timeless, versatile fabric can be worn in countless ways, from classic blue jeans to denim skirts and shirts. And while blue might be the traditional color, white denim, black denim, and different washes and hues offer a world of outfit ideas. Even double denim–the so-called ‘Canadian Tuxedo’–is back for another go-round!
Ahead, let’s take a look at the fun ways we’re seeing denim being styled currently, and some of our favorite denim outfit ideas. From cargo skirts to shackets and beyond, these looks will help you navigate the transitional season seamlessly.
Denim Maxi Skirts
Denim skirts have been around forever, but denim maxi skirts are the current must-have item for fall. A longer-length denim skirt has a distinctly Y2k vibe–and goes with basically anything, so try dark denim with white sneakers or boots, or add a chic belt and a button-up shirt to level up your look.
Jean Jackets
Whether you like the crisp lines of a denim moto jacket or the relaxed fit of a denim shacket, jean jackets are a classic for a reason. Throw them over a graphic t-shirt, a plain white tee, or a ribbed knit–and don’t be afraid to wear:
Embellished Denim
Embellished denim is a fun, stylish way to add some sparkle to an everyday outfit while maintaining your casual edge. A cropped jacket and mini skirt featuring silver sequins, textured distressed detailing, and shimmery glitter make for a dazzling duo you can wear together for a Y2K vibe (don’t forget the shoulder bag) or with separates!
Double Denim
Denim on denim? Absolutely! There are several ways you can wear double denim for a great outfit. One way is to match the washes i.e., jeans and a denim jacket that match. You can also mix and match your washes i.e., a dark wash jean jacket or denim shirt with light wash jeans, or vice versa. A simple white tee or a printed top underneath the jacket creates a balanced ensemble.
Black Denim
Black denim is sexy and chic, adding just the right amount of edge to any outfit. A black denim mini with a black topmakes for an iconic monochrome outfit–and you can pair it with your favorite boots for a look that’s simple, sexy, and on-trend.
Denim Jumpsuits
For an easy head-to-toe denim look, throw on a denim jumpsuit. A onesie is a snap to style since there’s no worrying about matching washes or finding the right top. Simply pair it with your favorite accessories like a wide-brimmed hat or chunky heels and you’re good to go.
Denim Dress
A denim dress is perfect for the coastal cowgirl look, and a great option for an afternoon outing or date night. Wear it with strappy sandals for a cute end-of-summer look, or pair it with boots and a bodysuit layered underneath to welcome fall.
Denim Cargo Mini
Denim minis were everywhere in the Y2K era. Embrace the aughties aesthetic and throw on a cargo mini. With a cute silhouette and pockets for all of your essentials, this skirt is perfect for early semester classes.
Denim Overall Dress
What’s not to love about the clean, simple lines of a denim overall dress? Not only is this the perfect opportunity for making the style your own with layering, but it’s also versatile for all kinds of weather. You can wear a pinafore-style denim dress with long sleeves and boots as the days get cooler or with short sleeves for warm, sunny days.
