Denim dresses aren’t just for little kids – here’s how to style them
Denim dresses are a classic ’90s style that, like their bucket hat and grunge-inspired companions, have found their way to our modern-day shopping lists. Don’t let their childhood connotations fool you. Denim dresses can be sexy and stylish wardrobe additions for the 2021 woman. Don’t believe us? Check out these four stylish denim outfits for summer shopping inspiration.
1. Western-inspired
The Western detailing in the top is heightened by the model’s leather mid-calf boots. For a toned-down western look, throw on a leather jacket or jump into the style with both feet and with fringed accessories.

2. Modern-day Rachel Green
