We know it can be tough to get comfortable styling items beyond the standard denim jacket and skinny jeans, but it’s refreshing and fun to branch out and work in some silhouettes as the seasons change. We think of long denim skirts as flawless for fall and late summer, but they work just as well for a chilly night on the beach or a midnight stroll on your summer camping trip. Try these four looks!

A spring outfit combo for women that just can’t go wrong? Denim jackets and pretty spring dresses. We dropped the hint in our denim dose this morning, and this time we’ll say it with gusto: pairing something pretty with something a little rock’n'roll, a little industrial, a little bad-ass? That equals a balanced, nicely contrasted look (which translates into stylish intrigue). Kristin Cavallari illustrated this point perfectly when she recently wore a cropped Levi’s jacket over a long white dress. Perfection. Check out a few of our favorite pairings below.
Look 1: Notify Denim Jacket + Thakoon Grey Knit Dress
Look 2: Topshop Moto Sleeveless Denim Jacket + The Ava Lace Dress in Coral
Look 3: Madewell Denim Jacket + Mint Green Strapless Dress
Look 4: Topshop Moto Pink Denim Vest + Moondance Dress In Ivory
Look 5: Current/Elliott Red Denim Jacket + Rare Pastel Stripe Dip Hem Dress
