Denim Revolution: Fresh Takes

Denim feels predictable? Hold please, because this spring we’re doing denim differently. With super sexy lace-up, distressed hems, and soft baby blue vintage, it’s all in the details. Infinitely wearable, fabulously faded. Go ahead, grab a body-con dress, a puffed sleeved jacket, or a hot halter because you know the rule— when in doubt, wear denim.

SHORTS
For your new spring uniform, grab a distressed pair of denim shorts and add a square neck spaghetti strapped bodysuit. Or opt for fancy and add a kimono and a neutral sandal for brunch.

SKIRTS
