The Denim Shirt: A Wardrobe Essential

Forget the white shirt, the classic denim shirt is a fashion investment every wardrobe should have (yes, even for the boys!). Like your favourite pair of jeans, a good quality denim shirt will last you many a fashionable season and will only get better with time.

You can invest in a few cuts and colours, but the most versatile bet is a regular blue wash denim in a slightly loose fit. A loose fit will allow you to play with more style options such as knotting, tucking and wearing as a jacket.

Tuck in for a more chic, polished look. 

Or tuck out for easy-breezy casual.

A denim short looks great on all fits of pants and skirts.

 

Wear it as a jacket. A denim shirt makes layering a breeze.

 

Add a casual vibe to a body-con dress. 
 

 

Or play around with a sparkly number. Love the look below!

Don’t shy away from wearing denim on denim. You can’t go wrong as long as each piece is a different colour and you accessorize right.

I am currently obsessed with pairing my denim shirt with bright jeans. Take the cue from fashion designer Rachel Ray below. Doesn’t she look charming in her yellow capris? I also love the classic combination of denim and bright red.

 

 

 A loose-fitting denim shirt allows you to do the knot. Simply unbutton the last two to three buttons and tie the ends together for a beautifully boho look.

 

 

When layering for winter, a peak of denim can add an edge to a drab sweater.

 

If there's one thing you're splurging on this month, let it be a classic denim shirt. A regular wash light denim blue is your best bet, and one that is slightly a size bigger will give you more wear (as a jacket or the knotted look above).

 

I'm sure you'll fall in love with this fashion essential and invest in more styles. Happy shopping pretties! It's all about buying the right pieces that go the extra mile.
