How to Wear Denim Day to Night
day look: casual chic
choose the right fit
Opt for a pair of well-fitting jeans that suit your body type. High-waisted jeans are currently on-trend and pair beautifully with tucked-in shirts or crop tops. For a more relaxed vibe, consider straight-leg or boyfriend jeans. And if you’re feeling adventurous add a wide cuff jean into your lineup. Don’t forget denim dresses are a great option too. Opt for a denim shirtdress that can be dressed up for evening or dressed down for a daytime look. The third option is to wear the shirtdress as a third layer.

go for a comfortable top
In the daytime, comfort is key. Pair your jeans with a casual t-shirt, a loose-fitting blouse, or a lightweight sweater. Fabrics like cotton or linen are great for keeping cool while looking chic.

accessorize smartly
Keep your accessories minimal during the day. A crossbody bag or a tote keeps things practical, while a pair of stylish sneakers or flat sandals will keep you comfortable on the go. Add a few delicate jewelry pieces for a touch of sophistication.
layer up
In cooler weather, throw on a lightweight jacket or a light cardigan. A versatile denim trench is on trend and can create a cohesive look while adding some texture.
