A classic denim shirt is a staple for any modern wardrobe.
Short sleeve. The current models of women's denim shirts can also have short or cut-off sleeves. Such models are considered to be summer, but with the right combination, they will be good in the demi-season.
Custom color. Most often today you can find two options for an unconventional color scheme for denim shirts: white or black. But if you wish, you can find a model made of denim of any shade.
Gradient effect... A smooth transition from one color to another - this technique is relevant not only in fashionable hair dyeing, but also in clothing design.A denim shirt in such an original color scheme should definitely be in the wardrobe of every stylish girl.
Combining fabrics. Designers boldly combine denim with leather, knitwear, lace, printed fabric and even with denim of a different color or texture. At the same time, they do not limit their bold imagination in anything. Today you can find models with a wide variety of such inserts, the size of which ranges from tiny to impressive.
Decor... The collar, cuffs, pockets or seams of many models are decorated with beads and beads, lace and sequins, rivets, chains, patches - the options are endless.
Cut fragments. The fantasy of fashion designers is inexhaustible. And when it already seems that everything has been tried, they offer new original models of denim shirts. So, this season, women of fashion flaunt more and more boldly on the streets in denim shirts of a classic cut, in which some fragments are cut out: shoulders, back, etc. Such an extravagant option will surely interest all shocking lovers.
In addition, modern denim shirts can be traditional, cropped or elongated (up to a dress shirt). The cut can be either fitted or straight, or loose or tight-fitting. Denim shirts can be made of plain denim, or with a variety of prints.
Color combinations
Light denim is in perfect harmony with contrasting colors - black, dark blue - and with pastel colors. Classic indigo jeans will work well with absolutely any color, as it is a versatile option.
The traditional denim color looks especially impressive with black, gold and silver shades, as well as with light brown leather.
As for denim from shirts of non-traditional shades, they should be combined according to the accepted rules of color compatibility. If the shirt is very dark, then the bottom should not be made light. The only exception is the bow, when the "jeans" is worn on the dress. In this case, the underwear can belong to any range that matches the tone of the jacket itself.
What to wear with?
Sometimes the endless variety of clothing options makes you fall into a stupor. A denim shirt can be combined with almost any wardrobe item, and this only makes the process of creating the perfect look more difficult. But we will show you how this is done according to all the rules. The main difficulty that may arise is a misunderstanding of what to combine with denim of a particular color. Let's deal with everything in order.
Light shirt denim is best used for delicate and romantic looks. It will complement an outfit in white or pastel colors, be it trousers and a T-shirt, a skirt and a top or a dress. Such a shirt will be relevant in everyday informal or office attire.
Dark shirt in denim, use for more formal and understated ensembles. At work, it will only be appropriate if there is no strict dress code. But such a shirt will be very useful in street-casual looks.
We will tell you more about each style that can be created on the basis of a denim shirt a little later. In the meantime, let's figure out what kind of things this trendy wardrobe item should be worn with.
What things to combine with?
Although a denim shirt is an absolutely universal thing, there are certain trends in fashion, according to which some combinations are now the most popular and effective.
With a skirt
Of all the female looks created with the participation of a denim shirt, the combination with a skirt is perhaps the most flirty. And it is worth noting that any styles and colors are now relevant. Any competent combination will be appropriate.
One aspect is length. Anything that your figure allows you will come in handy here.Please note that a more stylish look with a long skirt will turn out if you do not tuck the shirt into it, but tie its ends at the waist. Shorter models allow both options, but in ultra-short skirts it is better to tuck a denim shirt or select a shortened model of a shirt in such an ensemble.
Midi, maxi, mini - if the skirt fits well on you and matches the color of a denim shirt - this is your look!
Pencil, tulip, sun, straight, flared, pleated - skirts of any cut will go well with a denim shirt. The skirt for such an ensemble can be cotton or knitted, chiffon or lace, leather or silk.
With shorts
The most win-win and obvious combination in this case will be a set of denim shirt and the same shorts. An ensemble like this always looks great, but it's not the only one possible! Leather, satin, lace or other fancy fabrics, shorts will always be the perfect match for a denim shirt.
Separately, I would like to note the duet of a denim shirt and white shorts. This is a versatile summer bow that has been trendy for more than one season. Floral shorts paired with denim are also trendy this summer.
With jeans and trousers
There are two undeniable rules for pairing a shirt and denim trousers:
- The shirt and jeans are matched tone-on-tone;
- The shirt is lighter than jeans.
A pair of black pants and a dress denim shirt is a must-have for every woman's wardrobe. At the same time, trousers can be straight or skinny, regular length or cropped, can be flared, or have a high waist. All this is not important. Either way, a classic denim shirt is the perfect base for your look.
Of course, besides this basic set, a variety of combinations with trousers of all colors and styles are possible. In this case, the shirt can be worn both outside and tucked in (depending on the model).
Floral trousers also work well with a denim shirt, but in this case it is better to opt for light denim.
Seasonal trends
A denim shirt is appropriate all year round, because a huge variety of models allows you to distinguish between one or another of its varieties according to the seasons. So, in summer or spring, in addition to classic models, you can choose shirts with short sleeves.
Even if the sleeve of the shirt is long, keep an eye on its width - it should match the created image. The more voluminous the bottom of the ensemble, the narrower the sleeve of the shirt should be. And vice versa.
The autumn-winter period turns a denim shirt from an independent item of clothing into an additional detail, since it is often worn for insulation. So, a shirt at this time of the year coexists with jackets, jackets, sweaters, cardigans and other elements of a warm wardrobe. In such ensembles, the main thing is that the collar, sleeves, hem and other significant parts of the shirt are knocked out and are open to the eyes of others.
Styles
By purchasing a denim shirt, you get the opportunity to create casual and festive outfits in the most fashionable and current styles:
- Rock: black skinny or leather leggings, high heels or rough boots, massive neck and wrist jewelry;
- Country: dress made of airy fabrics, shoes with thick heels, rings, earrings, pendants in ethnic style;
- Street-casual: skirts of any length, trousers of any style, layering, no more than 2-3 colors, comfortable shoes.

Useful Tips
There are some tricky little things that shouldn't slip out of your sight!
- Features of the figure are important when choosing a particular model of a denim shirt. So, owners of appetizing forms should choose a shirt with a straight cut with a length up to mid-thigh. Such a model will visually make the figure more elongated and slender. Slender girls are much more fortunate, they can wear any model of denim shirts. But if you want to combine them with a knee-length skirt or even a little higher, choose models from thin and soft denim, the favorite among the colors is classic indigo.
- Do you want to visually enlarge your breasts? Pay attention to the fitted models, tight-fitting body from the belt, and in the right place creating additional volume due to the decor on the yoke.
- Everyone knows that denim shirts were popularized in their time cowboys. Today this style is a relic of the past, therefore do not try to recreate it in everyday life. Now it is only relevant at a costume party in the theme of the Wild West.
- Accessories are an important part of any outfit that includes denim. This material is so versatile that it looks great with bright neckerchiefs and scarves, metal jewelry worn over the collar (especially gold and silver). The graceful leather straps are also the perfect complement to any denim shirt outfit. Like jewelry, it is fashionable to wear them over a shirt this season.
