Get the look: 5 Ways to wear denim this summer

Denim is a staple part of any woman’s wardrobe whether it’s December or July. So we’ve put together the ultimate five must-have denim items that mustn’t be missing from your wardrobe this summer…

Let’s start with the basics – the cropped jean. An essential for the summer, the cropped jean offers a compromise between your favourite pair of jeans and a pair of denim shorts. Perfect for running errands, having lunch with your friends or a picnic in the park, the cropped jean offers comfort and style. Try teaming them with a lightweight crisp white shirt and a pair of flat sandals for a chic laid back look. We’ve picked these Denim Roll Ups £30 from Wallis, which are also available in the petite range. 

The denim shirt dress has made a massive comeback this summer and is a key essential for the season. The beauty of the item is that it can work whether we get the hot summer we’ve been promised or even if we get the traditional British summer as the dress looks great with tights, leggings and bare legs. One of our favourites is the Popper Dress £95 from Whistles as it’s a great length – not too short and not too long – and it offers a relaxed loose fit meaning that you won’t be feeling too restricted by the end of the day.

Another key item is the maxi-skirt. An easy to wear option for the summer months, the maxi skirt has now taken on a new lease of life with the injection of denim. Dressed down with a pair of sandals and a loose-fit t-shirt or dressed up with a pair of wedged heels, the skirt is a key investment for the summer. This Angela Denim Skirt £40 from Monsoon will ensure that you’re bang on trend for the season and offers a summery alternative to the regular denim skirt.

The denim shirtis another favourite for the season and offers an alternative to a cardigan or light-weight jacket for those chilly summer evenings. Teamed with a pair of cream crop trousers and a loose white vest the denim shirt will ensure you’re looking the ultimate in sophisicated yet relaxed chic. Many of the high street stores stock their own variety of the denim shirt but we’ve picked this Western Shirt £38 from Oasis. Remember mixing denim is a big trend this summer so don’t be afraid to team the shirt with your favourite pair of jeans for a casual look.

Finally we move onto the final of our five must-have denim items – the denim jacket. A garment that will outlive almost all of the rest of your wardrobe, the denim jacket is a real investment so it’s crucial to ensure that you pick one that fits well and you feel comfortable in. The Puff Collar Denim Jacket £380from Vivienne Westwood at Selfridges offers a gorgeously understated twist on the trend and helps create a stunning silhouette as it clenches in at the waist.
