With spring winking at us from around the corner, but the weather still too chilly to contemplate high-fashion looks, the easiest wardrobe refresh is with our favourite fabric – denim.
It’s an overall winner when it comes to dressing up or dressing down, easy on the eye wherever the mood takes you, and the most versatile of staples.
Indeed, denim does what no other garment can – bridges the gap between function and flair.
Here are the best blues to bag now…
1. Oversized denim shirt
A loose denim shirt sets the standard for laidback style. Casual, easygoing and flattering, these washed threads work effortlessly worn over a T-shirt or sweater while we wait for temperatures to warm up a bit.
Hush Daya Denim Shirt, £75
2. Relaxed denim dress
From a relaxed, shift style in the form of a shirt dress; to a looser, longer shape with fewer buttons for ease… either way, the relaxed denim dress puts comfort first.
Albaray Denim Shirtdress, £110
3. Dressed-up denim dress
Designers have gone to town reimagining the dressed-up denim dress, much to our delight.
A front-runner with knee-high boots or heels, the cinched-in waist and flared A-line silhouette is sophisticated and on point. With a round or V-neckline, zip detailing and embroidery for a modern twist; or classic collar and button-down front, both will take you from day to evening.

4. Denim midi skirt
Trending for spring 2024, the denim skirt is back. Whether you channel some French chic and wear yours with a Breton top, sleeveless roll-neck or jean jacket for a sexy statement (with bare midriff and bralette), the denim midi is where it’s at. So much so, even a pussycat bow works.
