8 Denim Styling Ideas That Come Approved by Celebrities
There's no doubt denim is a timeless staple in our year-round wardrobes. But the casual fabric has really stepped into the sartorial spotlight this spring. This is partly thanks to its dominance on S/S 23 runways. In fact, we couldn't help but notice how much designers decked the runways with this versatile fabric using a whole host of washes, silhouettes, and fresh styling ideas. Ultimately, no denim craving was left unsatisfied.
So, if you're a denim devotee (like most of us here at Who What Wear) looking for fresh inspiration for styling your trend-forward denim pieces this season, you've come to the right place. Below, we're sharing celebrity-approved denim styling ideas. From of-the-moment maxi skirts to cool cutoffs, take a peek at the casual denim outfits celebs are wearing this season—and then shop the looks for yourself.
Elsa Hosk shows us just how easy it is to style a trendy maxi skirt this spring. All you need are barely-there sandals, a staple brown knit, and a beige '90s leather bomber jacket. Casual and cool.

Leather motorcycle and biker jackets are trending hard this season. Kendall Jenner shows us that the coolest way to wear one is with a crisp white tee and straight-leg jeans for a look inspired by off-duty '90s models.

Crisp white jeans always make an outfit look more expensive. Sophie Turner adds a polished touch with a long camel coat, a chic belt, and loafers. We also loved how she layered a pop of color under her coat to give her whole outfit a springtime feel.
