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.
