Guide to Wearing Denim

How to wear a denim jacket

Denim jackets are timeless because they can be styled in so many ways and flatter all body shapes. If you’re wondering what to wear with a denim jacket, the answer is - anything! When you get one, you’ll soon wonder what you did without it.

If you’re wearing a dress, a denim jacket tops off the outfit nicely. Maxi dresses and denim jackets work very well for curvy figures and if you want to flaunt your figure, combine your jacket with a mini or bodycon dress. Lift your day-to-day outfits by throwing your jacket over tees or checked shirts. Denim-on-denim is also acceptable (within reason). Don’t be afraid to wear your denim jacket with jeans, even if the colours are mismatched.

How to wear a denim shirt

Denim shirts are great spring and summer essentials and help achieve an effortlessly chic look. Lots of people aren’t sure what to wear with a denim shirt because the blue colour can feel limiting. It’s actually super easy to combine them with other items in your wardrobe.

To accentuate your figure, opt for a fitted denim shirt. Alternatively, go for the oversized aesthetic and tuck the front of your shirt into jeans or leather trousers for maximum impact. Denim tops generally look best with jeans, so embrace mixing lighter and darker denims. Black jeans or leggings can break up the blue and make your outfit colour scheme more interesting. Simply style with flats and trainers for your everyday looks.

How to wear a denim dress

Denim dresses have well and truly earned their place as a style staple. Perfect for warmer months and transitional periods, a denim dress is a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Belted shirt dresses and pinafore dresses are very slimming and work for different body shapes.

Wondering what to wear with a denim dress? Pair it with sandals or flats for an uber-feminine vibe on sunny days. For transitional or slightly chilly weather, wear a pinafore denim dress layered over knitwear and tights, then complete the look with ankle boots.
