Top Denim Trends For Summer 2021

Summer is most definitely upon us, with high temperatures predicted for the next couple of weeks. I always struggle with what to wear during the summer, as you don’t want to be too hot, but you still want to look good, and I’ve got a round-up of the top denim trends for summer 2021, to inspire you to change up your summer wardrobe over the coming months.

Top Denim Trends For Summer 2021

I love wearing jeans, and love that jeans have had quite the resurrection this year. You can’t watch a clothing haul on YouTube by top fashion bloggers, without seeing at least one pair of jeans, and I’m here for it.

I like how versatile a pair of jeans can be, and it’s the kind of piece you can wear with a pair of flip flops and a vest top for a barbecue, and equally dress the same pair of jeans up with some heeled mules and a cami for a summer evening look.

The biggest trend for denim this summer has to be high waisted jeans, and it’s such a flattering fit, especially if like me, you have big hips. You also don’t have to worry about them riding down, and I personally like how they give a smoother silhouette, and smooth over any of my problem areas.

Skinny jeans are the type of style which never go out of fashion, but bootcut jeans are one of the biggest denim trends this summer. There’s subtle bootcut styles, all the way to wider bootcut styles, both of which are flattering thanks to their more tapered thigh, and wider leg to help offset a more curvy body shape.

You can combine the two trends with bootcut, high waisted jeans to elongate the leg and are particularly great for giving the illusion of a longer leg. I like how comfortable bootcut jeans are, especially during the summer, as they’re not as clinging as skinny jeans either.

Another denim trend you’ll have seen a lot on social media right now, is white denim. It’s not for everyone, but you can’t go wrong with white denim during the summer months. You can combine another popular trend this summer; neon, with white denim jeans and a pop of colour on top.

Denim in general, is a great wardrobe staple regardless of season, and there’s a style to flatter every body shape. If you’re looking for inspiration on which styles and fits to try, there’s a really handy denim guide over on the Very website, to help you find your perfect denim piece this summer.
