You may not realize it, but denim has been around since the 1800s! Originally worn because of its extreme durability, it was first put to use as a typical blue-collar worker’s uniform of sorts. In later years, it became the earmark for rebellious youth. And today? Well, today denim stands as absolutely the most versatile and wearable fabric around. No matter what your age or your budget, there is a piece of denim that will not only suit you, but will look fabulous on you. So, in honor of that timeless classic denim, we’ve compiled some of this Spring’s biggest denim trends that you need in your closet right now!

The shirtdress – You’ve heard this trend coming for months now. The shirtdress is going to be huge this season, and for good reason. Because of the tie waist, it is flattering on almost every figure, and it provides a bit more coverage than other dress styles, which will come in handy on those odd breezy, chilly days at the start of Spring. And when you add the shirtdress trend with the denim trend…you get WOW!

The light wash – The trend for denim with a more destroyed wash breathes a new life into your jeans this Spring. The lighter wash helps to give an overall lighter feel to any outfit, and it pairs well with both darker colors and prints, so you’ll have all your options covered with jeans like this and this.

The midi skirt – Again, since Spring isn’t always all bright and warm and sunny (at least not in the early months), a longer hemline will help to fend off the chill. But lucky you, because the midi skirt trend is also incredibly flattering. It looks great with a more bodycon top, or a blouse that can be tucked in, so as not to lose the emphasis on your waist.

The unfinished hem – The unfinished hem will be everywhere this Spring…from tops to jeans to jackets to skirts. But instead of looking rough and sloppy, designers are placing the unfinished hems onto more tailored pieces, so the overall vibe is one that is decidedly laid-back and cool.

The denim jacket – This should already be a perpetually well-loved and well-worn item in your wardrobe, since a classic denim jacket like this never goes out of style. But you should consider adding a fresh take on the classic denim jacket… like this vest, or this light anorak… to the mix. This Spring!
