This Is the Cool Way to Wear Denim-Shirt Outfits in 2024
Denim shirts are a closet mainstay and are carving out an ever-bigger presence in the outfits of fashion insiders this year. Looking at the street style scene, denim shirts are everywhere—whether styled with slouchy jeans and a Hermès Kelly bag with a scarf-wrapped handle on the streets of Paris or with layers of tailored outerwear in Copenhagen or with leather trousers in Milan. There is a range of denim-shirt outfits we’re spotting on fashion insiders that are proving just how versatile the wardrobe staple is and the fresh ways to wear them.
One foolproof place to begin? Start with a matching denim shirt and jeans as a base. From there, just add a trench coat, a leather jacket, or tailored outerwear. On the other hand, pairing the button-down shirt with an A-line skirt or leather trousers instantly makes the outfit look more polished. Ahead, the best denim shirt outfits to wear in 2024.
