10 Cool Ways to Refresh Your Favorite Denim
Not to be totally biased, but denim is pretty much the cloth of choice around the Teen Vogue offices most days, so we're always looking for fresh ways to reinvent our most-loved looks. Luckily, we're not the only ones. Everyone from Hollywood starlets to street style fixtures alike are always sporting the style, giving us endless ways to reimagine (read: get our money's worth) out of our go-to jeans.
This week alone, Bella Hadid added an über-trendy bomber jacket to her skinny jeans, Yara Shahidi donned a chambray jumpsuit, and Gigi Hadid and Alexa Chung both wore the fabric from head to toe. Is there anything better than denim? These stars (and we) say not.

WORE: A white t-shirt, royal blue silk jacket, and embellished high-rise jeans.
WHERE: Out and about in New York.

WORE: A colorful striped dress, black Mary Jane shoes, and an embellished denim jacket.
WHERE: The "Empathy Rocks" event in Beverly Hills.
WHY: Pins and patches have been a major trend this year. Add just a few buttons from your favorite band and your years-old denim jacket is as good as new.

WORE: A Guess chambray jumpsuit over a plain white tee and silver Jimmy Choo pumps.
WHERE: An event for ABC's "Black-ish" in L.A.
WHY: We all have that one dress (or, in Yara's case, jumpsuit) that we find ourselves wearing again and again. Adding an unusual twist like a layered t-shirt or metallic shoes is a smart and surefire way to hit the sartorial refresh button.

WORE: A vintage t-shirt tucked into high-waisted shorts, a denim jacket, and black pointed boots.
WHERE: Out and about in L.A.

WORE: A cut-out tank top and a patchwork denim skirt.
WHERE: The opening day celebrations for H&M Puerto Rico.
WHY: If you're looking for new pieces to add to your wardrobe, try a pretty patchwork piece like Joan's that can be dressed up or down.

WORE: A denim jacket, black t-shirt, and cropped flare jeans.
WHERE: Walking around SoHo in New York.
WHY: Denim on denim can be a bit overwhelming. Alexa is smart to break up the blue with a pair of dainty red shoes.

WORE: An embellished jacket, black skinny jeans, and Gucci loafers.
WHERE: Out and about in L.A.

WORE: An off-the-shoulder blouse, skinny jeans, and black boots.
WHERE: The premiere of "Pretty Little Liars" Season 7 in Hollywood.

WORE: An oversized denim jacket, a crochet crop top, and a pair of distressed jeans.
WHERE: Take-Two's Annual E3 Kickoff Party in L.A.
WHY: This might just be summer night's dressing at its finest! Serayah's crop top makes it party-perfect, while her mismatched denim keeps her from looking like she's tried too hard.
Photo: GC Images11/12WHO: Gigi Hadid
WORE: A jean jacket, vintage band tee, high-waisted jeans, and velvet boots.
WHERE: Walking around SoHo in New York.
WHY: Gigi's velvet shoes are definitely the star of this outfit. She's smart to let them shine and keep the rest of the look pared down. Note to self...
