Hello There! As spring is in full swing and we are entering into the summer months, incorporating your long winter jeans into the current season’s wardrobe can get a little tricky. Below, I have listed five different ways to transition your denim for warmer, sunnier days!
One of my favorite go-to’s for a night out with girlfriends is skinny jeans and high heels! An easy way to make your skinnies appropriate for spring is brightening up your outfit with a colorful pair of statement heels! Skinny jeans really let you show off a good pair of heels so go out of the box with a different pair that may be a little more daring! Pair your fun heels with a classic shirt and you will turn heads on your night out!
The next outfit on the list is anything paired with a chambray shirt– I love chambray! It is so versatile and can be thrown together with almost anything! I paired it with this Trina Turk skirt shown above for work a couple of days ago and it was the perfect Friday outfit- casual, yet still appropriate for the office! I wore this chambray shirt unbuttoned with a white tank top and white denim jeans a couple weekends ago to run some errands as well. A good chambray shirt- or anything chambray for that matter is a spring essential in every woman’s wardrobe!
Ok, this is by far my FAVORITE combo! I love, love pairing a distressed “baggier” look with a feminine pair of heels or flowy top! My number one rule I try to follow more often than not is “one part edgy, one part girly” I know that boyfriend jeans aren’t necessarily edgy, but jeans paired with high strappy heels is a great contrast! This outfit is so “spring” to me! The summer sandals and pastel colors are perfect for this time of year! You can wear this outfit to brunch, happy hour or even on a date with your significant other!
This next outfit is so fun! I have been obsessed with front button denim skirts lately! It’s so easy to change up the look as well- you can pair it with fun heels to dress the outfit up or tone it down a bit for a more casual take with a pair of espadrilles! A denim skirt is great for the spring and summer months and really easy to throw on and go and still look extremely put together!
Last, but certainly not least- my go- to weekend uniform. I wear something along the lines of this outfit every weekend. It’s the typical “errands on a Saturday” outfit! A classic pair of denim shorts is a must have in the late spring months going into summer. You can wear anything with them, dress them up, dress them down, etc.… I have found that Old Navy always carries really nice fitting shorts that fit all body types. While a retailer such as Old Navy tends to be very affordable, however spending a little more on anything denim is often worth it. I’ve realized over the years that a good pair of denim (shorts, jeans, skirt, etc.) is something to really invest in because you will wear them all throughout your life multiple, multiple times. I splurged on a couple pairs of jeans almost six years ago and they are still good as new today….it is worth it.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! What is your favorite way to wear denim? I’d love to know what your wardrobe staple is. If you’d like to see full details of what I’m wearing and where everything is from, feel free to check out my original post on HelloAlley.com
