Summer Lovin' Denim Edition
Step aside, linen. According to our buyers and stylists, denim is set to be the fabric of the season! If you’re wondering what to wear with summer’s new shorts, skirts, pants and dresses in lightweight weaves and soft-touch fabrics, we’ve got you covered with tried-and-tested outfit solutions.
Skirts
Word on the street is that jean skirts are back – welcome! – and they’ve quickly become a staple in our summer rotation. Frankly we couldn’t be happier to have a bare-legged alternative to our usual jeans.
4 Ways To Wear Them
- Belt a long denim skirt over a silk blouse and you’ve got yourself a beautiful dressy-casual day look.
- A form-fitting mini looks A++ with a relaxed tee and slides
- Ditto when you swap out the tee for an oversized tailored shirt. Stylist pro tip: leave all but the middle three buttons undone.
- We love an A-line style zipped over a shrunken tee, 90s-style. As always, if you balance your silhouettes, you can’t go wrong.
Shorts
You’d be shocked where you can get away with denim shorts, particularly when you have a couple of different lengths to play with. Agolde’s Parker style comes in a standard and long-line cut – depending on where you’re going and what you’re comfortable with.
4 Ways To Wear Them
- Pull together a polished look with a femme blouse, Nicky belt and braided wedges.
- Give your shorts a quick iron and head confidently to work in a sophisticated black tank, blazer, choker necklace and pointed flats.
- Come off all coolly casual with a rock ’n’ roll tee and flatforms.
- Throw a striped button-down shirt over your shorts and pull on some leather sneakers.
White Denim
When you look at white denim, you’d never guess this was a hard-wearing fabric invented for miners – it’s so clean, so refreshing. You can count on crisp white jeans to deliver palate-cleansing summer looks for every body type. If you haven’t dabbled before, you’ll find white jeans are surprisingly easy to keep clean. Not as many spills as a top.
4 Ways To Wear Them
- Make a grand entrance at your Christmas party in a silky top, wedges and gold hoops.
- Reach for a preppy button-down to go with your high-rise white denim and gold heels.
- Holiday style calls for a breezy top and tonal white belt.
- For professional polish, go all white in a white tank and jacket.
Wide Leg Denim
Big in Italy this past summer, this wide-leg denim style is cool and breezy no matter how hot it gets. What you want is a lightweight denim weave with freedom of movement.
3 Ways To Wear Them
- Brace for impact when you pair your palazzos with a bandeau top, big earrings and slick senorita bun.
- The polished white version looks the business with black strappy heels and tonal top.
- Elevate your blue denim pair with a silky shell top in cool white or pastel pink and voila, you’re ready for work!
