Summer Jeans Outfits | Denim is the New Black For Your Summer Wardrobe
Summer jeans outfits are the fastest way to lighten up your wardrobe. Most women’s closets are a sea of black, but we all know large bodies of water are blue. With all the new denim styles, you’ll be swimming in summer outfit options for every occasion. These trends prove denim is the new black for your wardrobe this summer.
JEANS ON TOP
A jean shirt is one of just 9 key pieces in my new Simple Summer Capsule Wardrobe. Get the other 8 and a style guide on how to put them all together HERE. A jean shirt is your shortcut to styling just about any summer outfit. I love styling mine backward and cropped over a dress or long a loose as a swimsuit cover-up.

High-low styling with a Valentino bag on sale and designer-inspired sandals.
Crop It
Super Soft
I promise you’d pick these with your eyes closed. You can’t go wrong with styles from Rails or Frank & Eileen
Under $50
I’ve had this snap-front western style from Gap for years and love it. See how I recently styled it in my Haute Mama Look of the Day on Instagram.
Oversized
Finding this Kayla style from the Nordstrom 6 January Drop in stock is hard. Its sleeves are easy to style for summer because it has three different sleeve lengths. Besides a cover-up you can wear also wear an oversized jean shirt unbuttoned over bike shorts and a tank or straight-leg white jeans.
DENIM JACKETS IN SUMMER
A jean jacket makes my New Wardrobe Checklist and is one of the most versatile layering pieces for any aesthetic. If you already own a classic jean jacket shake up your summer outfits with a fun new shape or color.
White Jean Jackets
Hardware choices to match your style. I love my white Fidelity jacket with rose gold buttons.
Cropped or Oversized
Fashion Foward Under $100
JEAN DRESS FOR SUCCESS
This summer there are so many jean dress styles to pick from. A jean shirtdress has the most styling opportunities for different body types. Give shape or define your waist with a thin belt. A denim vest will also add shape and interest, without bulk.

FIRST 3 SIGNS ITS TIME TO DITCH YOUR DENIM
1 | Canadian Tuxedo
Denim on denim is just for celebs but we can steal some style inspiration from them.
Sporty Like Kendall

2 | 80’s Jean Outfit
High-rise tapered-leg jeans are trending. I’m so excited about this trend I’m placing it at the heart of my next capsule wardrobe. I know it can be hard to find the perfect fit and style them, so I’m doing all of that for you by adding the best to Jen’s Jean Shop. The secret is selecting a style with a rise that stops at or above your belly button. If you want your jeans to fit and flatter you have to know your rise.
How to Measure Your Rise?
Measure from the center crotch seam (on a fitted pair of pants) to your belly button.
