Our Favorite Summer Fits

Q: How do you wear denim in the summer?

Opt for lighter washes of looser silhouettes—like straight-leg or wide-leg jeans—which allow more airflow than tighter, more rigid denim. Pairing lightweight denim with breathable tops like linen shirts or cotton tees helps keep the overall outfit from feeling too heavy.

Q: What denim styles are best for hot weather?

Light-wash and white denim tend to absorb less heat than darker washes, making them a better choice in warm weather. Relaxed and straight-leg cuts also allow more airflow than skinny styles.

Q: What fabrics should I look for in summer denim?

Look for denim under 12 oz. per yard, as lighter-weight denim is more breathable. Some summer-weight Linen+ Denim jeans also blend in a small percentage of linen, which increases breathability.

Q: What should I avoid wearing in denim in the summer?

Heavy, rigid denim in dark washes tends to trap heat and can feel uncomfortable in warm temperatures. Skinny jeans, which sit tight against the skin, are also better swapped out for more relaxed cuts in the heat.

Q: How do I style a denim jacket in summer?

Use a denim jacket as a lightweight layer for cool evenings or air-conditioned spaces, rather than wearing it all day in the heat. Pair it over a sundress, shorts or a lightweight tee for a relaxed summer look.
