While the transition from winter to spring might be the easiest and most welcome in terms of weather and lifestyle, the stark difference in seasons makes for a tricky sartorial switch. Seeing as the wardrobe changes almost entirely during this seasonal handover, evergreen pieces take on a new importance, shouldering a lot of the heavy lifting. One of the stars of the transitional show every year is denim.
Denim basically walks us through every season — Heavy raw denim survives the chills of autumn and winter while lighter washes and cutoffs embody spring and summer — but it really shines in spring. One of the most difficult things about dressing in spring is the unpredictable weather. Fortunately, denim doesn’t pay much mind to the weather because it’s basically made for it all. So, from layering-ready denim jackets to trusty jeans, it’s essential to stock up on denim for spring.
If you’re not yet ready to start the hopeful, lightweight, colorful shopping for summer, but your winter wools are already defunct, then listen up. We’ve rounded up the best denim for spring below and it covers every gap that might have appeared in your transitional wardrobe.
