I'm denim obsessed this summer. I've been rotating between my favorite low-rise capris, denim miniskirt, and perfectly-worn-in baggy jeans. The trick to wearing denim in this summer heat is finding lightweight pieces that are equal parts stylish and comfortable. I've rounded up some of the prettiest lightweight denim finds from Nordstrom—my go-to destination for denim-related shopping—for you to browse. Each one is summer ready and totally on-trend.
In this list of lightweight denim and chambray gems, I made sure to include some drawstring styles, a trend that's all over my social media feed right now. 1822 Denim's and Paige's tie-waist styles have that relaxed, baggy look I love without the bulk of traditional denim, and between the casual jeans, breezy shorts, smocked sets, and airy dresses, I've got everything denim covered.
Mix and match these lightweight denim styles with your go-to summer basics, or go full Canadian tuxedo. Trust me—these are denim pieces you'll be reaching for all summer.
