Need help styling your denim trousers this summer?

Jeans are the perfect year-round fashion staple, but they really come into their own around this time of year. From ultralight pull on’s to wide legged bestsellers, these trousers never go out of style and all you have to do is switch up your tops, footwear and accessories for a new outfit every day.

So, here are our favourite ways to create a go-to look that you can rely on all summer long, for warm sunny days and cool summer evenings.

1. Simple White Tee

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does anything say summer quite like a simple white tee and a comfy pair of jeans? This tried and tested pairing is a quick, easy outfit that can be worn no matter what you have planned.

Beach day? Pair with a wedge heel and a stylish sunhat to keep you cool. Meeting friends for lunch? Add a tailored jacket for structure and elegance. Taking the kids on a summer adventure? Comfortable pumps are an absolute must!

Go for a white cotton tee that is breathable and comfortable in the hot summer sun, or if you fancy making the top half of your outfit the focal point then why not go all out with a striped or patterned tee and colour block trainers?

2. Cropped Denim Trousers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You’ll want to keep as cool as possible as spring turns to summer, so as the temperatures rise so too should the hem of your jeans.

Cropped jeans are a slightly shorter length than regular jeans, often measuring at 30” rather than the usual 32”, so don’t let the term cropped put you off investing in a pair. These comfortable, high-stretch jeans are one of the most popular ways to incorporate denim into your summer wardrobe and provide a casual daytime look with comfortable trainers and a short sleeve top.

They are normal rise, straight cut, and made from premium super-stretch denim that gives you plenty of movement, but if you’re not quite ready to make the switch to cropped jeans, simply roll up the legs on your favourite pair and style them with a comfy plimsoll or pump.

3. Smart Casual Ensembles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As much as we would all like to spend every day at the beach this summer, we will still need to spend a good amount of time at the office. So, strike the perfect line between comfort and professionalism with these smart casual pairings and don’t forget to finish them off with a suede duster coat:

⦁ Black jeans, a tailored blazer, and a pair of sunglasses.
⦁ A short-sleeve white shirt with slim-fit light blue jeans.
⦁ A white or black turtleneck, tucked into high waisted jeans.

4. Wide-Legged Options

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When keeping it smart casual, it is best to go for straight, slim fit jeans that work well in a professional environment, rather than loose-fitting options that lean more towards casual than smart.

But, once you’re off the clock, it’s time to get comfortable with your favourite pair of wide-legged denim trousers. A summer essential in any capsule wardrobe, these jeans are the perfect pull on trouser that can be worn again and again, so choose a pair with a midrise waistband and style them with cropped t-shirts, jumpers, and tight turtlenecks.

5. Keep It Colourful

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We often think that we have to confine our colourful tastes to dresses and tops, but colourful denim trousers are a bold fashion statement that offers just as much choice. From watermelon pink to matcha green, these superlight jeans add a playful touch to your wardrobe and are one of the standout trends of the summer season.

Keep it neutral on top with a pastel tee or cream button-down to balance out your technicolour trousers or add a pop of extra visual interest with a graphic tee or patterned top. Or, if this all seems a bit too bold for your tastes, then play it safe with small, embroidered details on the pockets of your jeans or down the leg.

Whatever style you choose, we certainly recommend keeping things simple with white or black shoes and a neutral handbag to tie all the different elements together and maintain a stylish cohesion.

6. Stay Occasion Ready

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are so many ways to make denim trousers look glamorous and feel amazing, so don’t overlook them when picking an outfit for your next event.

These will work particularly well during those cooler summer evenings that aren’t quite cold enough for a jacket, but aren’t exactly warm enough for a backless dress. The overwhelming consensus is that dark jeans are the safest option when it comes to achieving a formal yet comfortable pairing, so go for a dark blue, black, or classic navy pair, and then be as bold as you like with the top and accessories that you choose.

A cropped pair of jeans, sparkling heels, and minimalist gold jewellery is a fail-safe combination, whilst dark jeans, a silk shirt, and a fitted blazer is another favourite. Add a bold red lip for an extra chic touch and remember that by going for denim trousers, you allow the rest of your outfit to shine, so make the most of the styling possibilities that this affords.

7. Keep It Cosy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No matter what you have planned this summer, it is important to stay dressed for the weather. So, just as you shop around for the perfect summer dress or swimsuit, you should also keep one eye on the blue skies and plan ahead for any grey clouds.

Keep a few key staples in your capsule wardrobe to throw on if the weather begins to turn. We’re thinking of a cosy yet breathable jumper, a shirt dress, and a comfortable blouse, along with a bomber jacket or mid-length trench coat for an effortless, everyday look.

These are all great throw-on items that can be worn as needed, and remember to always wear a comfortable vest top or cropped t-shirt underneath your jumper – you’ll be thankful for this once the sun comes out again!
