The Denim Edit: 6 Outfits You’ll Want to Wear Forever

The Denim Edit: 6 Outfits You’ll Want to Wear Forever

Most of our denim pieces have taken a backseat in exchange for more comfortable everyday sets. Now that we are slowly dressing up for real-life events and occasions, we are reaching once again for wardrobe staples, including denim. We are going to gloss over all incoming fall trends because, in this post, it’s all about the classics. Think bootcut jeans that have gone through a 2021 makeover and jumpsuits with a retro twist.

Regardless of your aesthetic, everybody loves a good denim piece. Whether it’s a denim jacket worn over a midi dress, a chambray shirt tucked into linen trousers, or classic straight-leg jeans paired with ankle boots, this fabric is considered a permanent part of your wardrobe.

Though we love denim for its versatility, there are still new ways of wearing it for different seasons and occasions. Ahead, we came up with foolproof outfit formulas incorporating timeless denim pieces, which can give you enough outfit inspirations for months to come.

 

1. Bootcut Jeans + Popover Top + Gold Necklace

Shop the Peck & Peck Signature Bootcut 5 Pocket Denim Jean, $46.95

Designed to look as good as they feel, bootcut jeans are one of the many styles that flatter any body type. This hip-slimming, leg-lengthening cut is perfect for those who want to show off their figure. Its modern iterations feature either a high-rise or mid-rise fit, giving a more refined look but can still be casual.

Get the look:

Shop the Zac & Rachel V Neck Popover Blouse, $53.95
Shop the Zac & Rachel V-Neck Popover Blouse, $50.95
Shop the Rockin’ Necklace, $52.95
Shop the Dior CD Logo Pendant Necklace, $225.00

 

2. Denim Jacket + Trousers + Sandals

Shop the 26 International Denim Anorak With Drawstring Waist, $76.95

If you don’t own a denim jacket yet, where have you been?! It’s a tried-and-true closet staple that you can wear on multiple occasions and is most popular during the spring or fall. Channel an off-duty look by pairing it with wide-leg trousers and some sandals or sneakers, then finish the look by layering necklaces.

Get the look:

Shop the Acl Blue Denim Cropped Belted Bluejean Jacket With Zippered Pockets by A. Helm, $150.95
Shop the Needle & Cloth Pull-on Tummy-Control Pants With L Pockets -Average, $32.95
Shop the Kenta Wedge Sandal, $61.95
Shop the Lena Gabrielle Techno Cuffed Crop Stripe Pant Black Awning Stripe, $83.95

 

3. Denim Jumpsuit + Sunglasses + Crossbody Bag

Shop the Montauk Light Fading and Distressed Detail Denim Six Pocket Jumpsuit by A.helm, $179.95

We love a retro moment—and what better way to channel your inner ’70s child than with a one-piece jumpsuit? The best way to get the most mileage out of this one-piece is to add layers, but since we’re still in summer, a few accessories should do the trick. Go for oversized or cat-eye frames a la Marilyn Monroe and complete your outfit with a cute crossbody bag.

Get the look:

Shop the Cat Eye Isabelle Sunglasses, $80.95
Shop the Asa Sunglasses, $64.95
Shop the Betty Shoulder Bag, $52.95
Shop the Louis Vuitton Grenelle Epi Crossbody Bag, $1,695.00

 

4. Knit Top + Straight-Leg Jeans + Loafers + Scarf

Shop the Peck & Peck Signature 5 Pocket Straight Leg Jean, $46.95

Preppy meets trendy in this foolproof outfit combination, which is reminiscent of ’90s trends but with a 2021 approach. Opt for short-sleeve knits in the summer and transition to fuller sleeves come fall. Elevate your look further by wearing your scarf as a headwrap or neckerchief.

Get the look:

Shop the Short Sleeve With Lace Sleeves Top, $39.95
Shop the Embroidered Sleeve Caty Knit Top, $39.95
Shop the Suede Ballet Flat With Cover Toe, $57.95
Shop the Hermes a La Gloire De La Cuisine Francaise Scarf, $275.00

 

5. Cuffed Denim + Blazer + Chunky Earrings

Shop the Peck & Peck Dark Wash Plus Signature Girlfriend 5 Pocket Denim Jean With Selvedge Cuff Jeans, $51.95

Gone are the days when blazers were strictly boxed into officewear and “Wall Street” style. They have gone past trendy and onto classic status, thanks to their ever-evolving versatility. More commonly worn as an elevated jacket rather than officewear, we thought a blazer would look immaculate when paired with selvage denim for that touch of class. Finish the look with heels and some chunky earrings to make it more fashion-forward.

Get the look:

Shop the Dora Landa Zipper Pocket Boyfriend Blazer, $74.95
Shop the Penelope Plaid Two-Button Blazer, $132.95
Shop the Museum Collection Two-Tone Hoop, $19.95
Shop the Bubbly Earrings, $41.95

 

6. Skinny Jeans + Tank Top + Kimono

Shop the Peck & Peck Plus Signature Skinny 5 Pocket Denim Jean, $51.95

Ah, skinny jeans. Some may argue that these tight-fitting jeans are way past their prime, especially in the era of oversized trousers and joggers, but we beg to disagree. Skinny jeans are still here and considered wardrobe staples for the casual dresser. If you think you can’t dress them up, you totally can! Create a simple summer ensemble by wearing yours with a breezy tank and a long kimono layered on top. Accessories are encouraged, specifically those you can layer or stack. 

Get the look:

Shop the Washed Tiered Popover Tank, $42.95
Shop the 24Seven Comfort Apparel Plus Size Sleeveless Tunic Tank Top, $39.95
Shop the Georgia Tan Kimono Scarf, $34.00
Shop the Antonia Tropical Print Kimono, $70.95

 

Styling Denim Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

They’re just jeans, after all! They are the most versatile piece of clothing you could ever own, so don’t be afraid to explore or reinvent your style. These outfit ideas should give you more room to play around with different styles.
