With Google searches for denim dresses reaching over 873k, and TikTok seeing a further 771k searches for the trend, it’s safe to say denim dressing is one of the major trends of the season – but how do you style an all-denim outfit? And how do you rock the double denim look without looking overkill?
We asked Senior Denim Buyer at Simply Be, Kaylenn McGavin, what his top tips would be for those looking to style a denim outfit this season and going into Autumn…
1. Choose the Right Fit: Opt for a denim dress that flatters your body shape. Whether it’s a fitted style or a loose A-line, the right fit will enhance your silhouette and boost your confidence.
2. Accessorize Wisely: Elevate your denim outfit with statement accessories. A bold necklace or a chic belt can transform the look from casual to chic, making it perfect for any occasion.
3. Layer Up: Don’t shy away from layering! A lightweight cardigan or a stylish blazer can add depth to your outfit while keeping you warm during cooler evenings
4. Footwear Matters: The right shoes can make or break your outfit. Pair your denim look with cowboy boots for a trendy vibe or opt for classic trainers for a laid-back look.
5. Play with Textures: Mix and match different fabrics to create an interesting ensemble. Pair your denim with a leather jacket or a soft knit scarf to add dimension.
6. Experiment with Lengths: Denim dresses come in various lengths. Try a midi or maxi style for a more sophisticated look, or go for a mini for a fun and flirty vibe.
7. Add a Pop of Color: While denim is a staple, don’t hesitate to introduce colour. A bright handbag or colourful shoes can add a playful touch to your outfit.
8. Embrace Prints: Layering a printed shirt or blouse under your denim dress if the denim dress is the look you’re going for, can create a stylish contrast. Floral or striped patterns work beautifully with denim.
9. Belt It Up: Cinch your waist with a belt to create an hourglass shape. This simple trick can enhance your figure and add a polished finish to your look.
10. Seasonal Styling: Adapt your denim look for the season. In summer, rock the look with sandals and a sunhat; in winter, layer a denim dress with tights, a long sleeve top and knee-high boots for a cozy yet chic ensemble.
