Midi dresses are the cornerstone of so many spring wardrobes, and the addition of a denim jacket will work to add a little edge to an otherwise feminine look. Finish off with a pair of sleek suede trainers like Francesca Saffari (pictured), who opted for the trending Adidas SL 72 style.

If you’re a serious fan of the fabric, a double-denim look might just be for you. This outfit formula looks best when you’re wearing slightly varied shades of denim and a white top or T-shirt underneath to break up all the blue. Pro-tip: opt for an oversized jacket to give the look a more fashion-forward silhouette.  

One way to immediately make your look feel unique is to go for a denim jacket in a bold shade. Summery colourways like peach and hot pink are perfect additions to this season’s warm-weather palette, while classic shades of white or cream will feel timeless for seasons to come. 

If your denim jacket comes in the form of a shirt style, then may we suggest pairing it with a printed maxi skirt or dress and chic kitten heels. The tailored shirt gives off an effortless, relaxed vibe, and adding these more elevated pieces into the mix leans into the high-low dressing look. 

Steph Hui (pictured) has chosen to accessorise her navy blue denim shirt with burgundy bordeaux oval sunglasses and matching patent pointed-toe heels.

Another take on the double denim outfit formula: pair a denim jacket alongside a denim skirt. Be warned, this look is not for the faint-hearted (denim critics need not apply), but if you get the shape right, it can become a statement look that feels thoroughly contemporary.
