Denim Bermudas
As one of the more polarizing denim trends of the season, denim Bermuda shorts (or "jorts") will add that instant cool-girl edge to your warm-weather vibe.
Cropped White Jeans
While we're totally down for wearing white denim all year round, the trend (featuring cropped cuts) is particularly perfect for summer.
Frayed Denim Jacket
Consider upgrading your classic denim jacket in favor of a frayed style for a fresh silhouette.
Straight Black Jeans
On the other hand, don't underestimate the power of a flawless pair of straight-leg black jeans to bring a downtown feel to your off-duty looks.
Ruffled Denim Skirts
Bring a touch of playful sophistication to your summer outfits with a ruffled denim skirt. It's an easy way to make a statement.
Light-Wash Jeans
You'd be hard-pressed to find a fashion person who doesn't have light-wash jeans in their arsenal. That ideal pair will make any ensemble seem laid-back and of-the-moment.
Short Denim Shorts
Not feeling the Bermudas trend? Go for the hiked-up look with short denim shorts to kick it on the weekends this season.
Asymmetrical Jeans
Don't be afraid to venture out of your comfort zone by testing out offbeat denim silhouettes like an eye-catching asymmetrical pick.
Next, check out the denim looks to try if you have simple and classic style.
