Beef up Your Back-to-School Wardrobe with These 100 Denim Pieces

We found all the best blues!

August 8, 2013

Dare to wear denim in unexpected ways! We're betting a brand-new pair of skinnies is already on your list of back-to-school buys, but this year our favorite jean items aren't pants at all. Instead they're dainty dresses, versatile vests, show-stopping skirts, not-so-simple shirts, out-of-this-world one-pieces, and more. Basically, this season is all about rethinking a tried-and-true textile.

The best part? These standout duds are just as well-rounded as your go-to jeans since denim works with anything and everything. Throw a vest over your standby summer dress to transition into autumn, or pair printed shorts with a chambray button-down to make a statement this September. With 100 options to choose from, you'll be the queen of jean before you know it. Let us know which item is your fave in the comments below!
