THE BEST DENIM STYLES FOR SUMMER
By Steven Potter, 20 May 2024

JORTS
Topman jorts in light wash, £42
Jorts’ rise in popularity is nothing short of fascinating. The only people who used to wear them were American dads who loved to BBQ, Adam Sandler and pro-wrestler John Cena. Now look at us, we can’t get enough of them. Y2K & 90s fashion influence reigns supreme across our FYP, proving that a pair of jorts are THE item for giving your summer look an instant update.

OVERSHIRT
ASOS DESIGN double pocket denim overshirt in ecru overdye, £28
It's your classic denim shirt, updated with an ecru wash for the new season. Tonal shades like the one above make up the base of almost every summer trend palette and denim’s slightly thicker texture makes it the ideal layering option for beer gardens, holiday dinners and more.

CO-ORD
Levi's standard camp shirt co-ord in blue denim, £55
Double denim was everywhere last season – westerncore had a huge moment which meant that any cowboy-esque look totally landed. While the co-ord above is much more ‘trip to the beach’ than ‘a day at the rodeo’, that double-denim moment paved the way for this piece to be put into our summer spotlight.

CARPENTER JEANS
ASOS DESIGN classic rigid carpenter style jeans in ecru, £35
We’ve mentioned the benefits of this ecru wash previously, but that’s not the only reason these carpenter jeans have made the list. The origin of the style? Well, the clue's in the name. They were designed with extra pockets and side-straps for carpenters to hold their tools back in the 19th century, and we think they're an easy way to add a point of difference to any classic look in 2024.

RELAXED SHIRT
ASOS DESIGN relaxed revere denim shirt in light blue wash, £25
Talking of details, the shirt above doubles up on them. First up, we’ve got some utility-style pockets. Secondly, a holiday-ready revere collar. Not to mention a go-with-everything wash and contrast stitching – need we say more?
