Denim is a versatile fabric. From maxi dresses to mini dresses and from shredded to distressed, pleated to press, there are many ways to wear denim dresses. This style has a similar feel to the early aughts. While there’s no shortage of Y2K denim styles resurfacing in Spring –, for better or low-rise – there are still plenty of ways you can style your favorite denim dress.
You’ll find plenty of options if you want to go for a denim maxi, midi, or even a longer hemline. One more tip: To create the same effect, replace any 17 looks with a denim shirt and a skirt in your favorite denim fabric.
You can mix and match our styling suggestions with your style because denim is ubiquitous. Denim is a fabric that can be styled in countless ways. Add tights, combat boots, and chunky platforms to each outfit. The sky is the limit (blue wash denim).
Blazer
Add a blazer over a casual look to instantly add sophistication. This is why we love the jeans and blazer combo. The same casual-inspired business look can be applied to your favorite denim dresses. Add a pair of chunky platforms to contrast the menswear-inspired blazer you choose. Also, experiment with oversized fittings.

Sandals and socks are a great combination.
A denim dress has a certain all-American charm, making it the perfect centerpiece for a ‘fit that explores and subverts different aesthetics. Take this updated Y2K version of the socks and sandals’ normcore combination. This is a great denim dress look when you need to look stylish quickly.

Add a Statement that Belt
Charm bracelets are out. Charm belts have returned and are the perfect accessory for a mini denim dress. Add jewelry with a similar finish as your belt to create a cohesive and elevated look. Or, let your belt stand-alone by toning down your outfit with neutral accessories.
Beyond Blue
Denim is often associated with blue jeans. Choose an unexpected color to make a statement with a denim spring dress. Spring is the perfect time to wear bright colors like pink and yellow. Floral and pattern prints are also a great choice.
Play Up Princess Style
Our favorite way to style denim dresses in Spring is with a princess-like look. Mary Jane platform shoes and a sweet, satin clutch elevate and add edge to denim dresses. This is especially true for those with crystal embellishments and a classic fit-and-flare or curve-hugging shape.

Add Statement Sneakers
You can’t go far wrong with an oversized denim shirtdress and a pair of platform statement sneakers for the ultimate comfortable denim ‘fit while still serving the main character’s energy. This look is not too boxy; the looseness and structure of the sneakers contrast beautifully with a denim shirtdress.

Metallic Bomber Jacket
Bomber Jackets are a springtime essential. There’s no better look to showcase your favorite than wearing it over dark-wash denim dresses. Oversized outwear is a popular trend this year. However, it can be a slight silhouette to stand out.
Wear Over Sheer Sleeves
is a great way to add extra style to a strapless denim dress. The sheer shirt can be worn over the strapless dress to add warmth for those unexpectedly chilly evenings. This can also help to secure your bust and bring together the whole look of a denim dress.

Double Denim Denim
A chic, all-denim look can be achieved with ease. We recommend starting with a textured dress that has distressed or patchwork details. Then, add your other favorite denim items, such as jackets, shoes, and button-downs.

Lightweight Gloves
Gloves are still having a moment, even as the warmer months continue. These are a favorite of celebrities. They also make a stylish way to break up large expanses of similar-colored and textured fabrics.

Washes that can be mixed and matched
You should pay attention to anyone extra. If you want to add a style touch to your casual wardrobe but still technically adhere to the dress code, try this denim-on-everything look. To keep head-to-toe denim fresh, play around with different washes. Combine your spring denim dress with light, dark, patchwork outerwear, shoes, and accessories to keep it unexpected.
Add Western Accessories
It is coastal cowgirl season, and nothing says giddy-up like a denim outfit with Western accessories. Go rugged with well-worn cowboy boots, or elevate the look with accessories with brass buckles.
Co-ordinated Lightweight Leathers
Spring is prime leather weather. A denim dress outfit lets you showcase multiple leather pieces, whether faux, vegan, or accurate. Layering is essential, and consider an over-the-knee boot, a denim dress with a tight fit, and a leather jacket cropped or fitted to the body as being critical layers. Add a denim second layer, a longer, heavier jacket, or a button-down shirt.
