Denim Shirt Street Style

And why not try wearing your denim shirt over a dress?

It’s a fashionable new combination you can wear with your shirt loose and unbuttoned, or lightweight denim can be tied at your waist to add more shape to a smart casual ensemble.

And are you wondering if your denim shirt will look good with your camel trousers?

Yes, denim colors definitely look great with camel and all of this year’s neutral fashion colors.

These knitted flared pants look so cute with a trendy crocheted pattern and are very cool and comfortable to wear in warm weather.

But it’s not always easy to find the perfect top to wear with crocheted pants.

You need something plain, but attractive – and a top with a bit of edge to prevent your outfit looking too girly.

Just pull it on and button-up just one button to get the perfect V-neck and trendy hint of midriff, without any bother at all!
