For all of the comfort denim offers, we’ll be the first to admit that jean dresses can feel pretty blah. A quick shopping search shows the same mini skirt apron style with little to no variation. Thankfully, designers are mastering the art of retooling the fabric and turning denim dresses into fashionable spring dresses.
If you live for a long-sleeve, utilitarian-style dress, you’re in luck. If a chic wrap shirtdress is more your speed, we’ve found a belted Cinq à Sept one that has us gushing over how designers can now bend a yard of denim to fit their will. Plus, the styling capabilities are endless. For instance, a cute cardigan sweater perched over your shoulders on a sleeveless midi or a faux fur jacket over a chic mini paired with pointed booties. The list goes on, but one thing is for sure: A denim dress is a must-have for spring. Ahead, denim dresses that prove just how versatile and adorable the denim dress is.
