A denim top's versatility makes it easy to pair with various items; embrace bold accessories and contrasting styles!
Because denim has an "innate cool-girl vibe," it pairs well with unique and unexpected items. According to Tunnell, "Everything goes with denim: solids, florals, stripes, other denim. Just be mindful of how you pair your tones."
Here are some ideas for pairing a denim top:
-
Accessories:
- Layer on colorful beads.
- Add printed scarves.
- Incorporate whimsical bags.
-
Other Clothing Items:
- Solids: Pair with solid-colored pants or skirts for a clean look.
- Florals: Combine with floral prints for a touch of femininity.
- Stripes: Mix with stripes for a playful, preppy style.
- Other Denim: Create a "Canadian tuxedo" by pairing with other denim items, but ensure the tones are different to avoid a monotonous look.
-
Consider Tone: Pay attention to the washes of denim you are pairing together. Lighter wash denim tops can pair well with darker wash jeans or skirts, and vice versa. You can also pair a denim top with non-denim bottoms in various colors and materials.
