This summer, it is all about lighter colored denim in a skinny or boyfriend cut silhouette. If you’re going to go with a printed denim, I recommend sticking to mostly neutrals (black, whites, or greys) and then invest with the bold, colorful print if you feel comfortable enough to do so. A big trend is the black/white stripe print, so I recommended the perfect pair of denim to follow this trend (If you feel that’s too big a statement, start with a black/white stripe blouse, first).
