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.

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.

WHO: Serayah
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.

WHO: 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... - 12/12
