How To: Style Denim For Summer

Denim is a year-round staple and something that everyone should have in abundance if you ask us! And what’s not to love? You can dress it up, dress it down and it comes in all different guises. When it comes to summer styling, trust us when we say there are so many ways to wear our hero fabric. Don’t believe us? RI Stylist, Holly, will show you…

Remember the days we would cringe at a double denim look? Not anymore! Whether your dad in the 90s or Britney and Justin, circa 2001, springs to mind, we encourage you to try it and own it. A cute peplum hem denim jacket with denim cycling shorts is our 2020 update.

Denim shorts may usually stir up memories of holidays or trips to the beach, but we’re all about glamming them up. We’re teaming high-waisted, paperbag shorts with a sequin cami and some big earrings for those long, hot summer evenings. G&T optional.

It’s nothing new but we will always hero jeans and a nice top as a go-to look. It’s versatile, it’s the perfect balance between smart and casual and it can be worn pretty much anywhere. We’re obsessed with this OTT top and boujee bag, pared down with light wash denim and clean white kicks.

In case you haven’t noticed, denim cycling shorts are our new crush. High-waisted, tight fitting and super on-trend - you need a pair. The perfect alternative to a skirt on a night out, team them with statement sleeves, a black headband and heeled sandals. Obsessed.
