Ah, denim. We all know that it was everyone’s go-to fabric back in the 19th century West, not to mention that it has been making rounds in the fashion scene since the day it was invented. The trusty fabric has been around for a while now, and it’s popular for a myriad of reasons — it’s tough, heavy-duty, and requires very little maintenance.

Fast-forward to decades of fashion evolution, denim is now a closet staple that every gal needs to own. Below, we break down the most essential denim pieces that you should cop, and why they’re worth every penny you’ll spend!

1. Oversized jackets

Oversized denim jackets never go out of style, and for a good reason — they go well with literally any fashion piece that’s out in the wild. Whether it’s a knit sweater or a basic shirt that we’re talking about, you always can count on an oversized denim jacket to amplify your look.

Utility and function aside, denim overalls are one of the most versatile wardrobe pieces we’ve laid our eyes on. Best worn on top of a basic cami or tee, denim overalls are a good starter for anyone who’s looking for style and comfort.

4. Flare pants

Fashion wise, there’s nothing that a pair or dramatic, flare pants can’t do. Exude a vintage vibe by pairing it with an oversized shirt, or sport a holiday look with a wool sweater, plus ankle boots and accessories to match.

5. Straight pants

Sleek, simple, and comfortable — straight pants are one of the most wearable and lightweight denim pieces that you can play with. Take it from Instagram star Vivid Wu, who matched her pants with a dressy top for the ultimate smart casual look.

Making the ultimate ’90s comeback, mom jeans have proven time and again that they’re more than just a thing of the past. Looking for ways to style your pair? Wear it with a breezy tube top, a statement belt, and light sandals for an airy, summer look.
