Gals, spruce up your spring wardrobe with three fresh takes on denim classics this spring, from a wide-collar patchwork denim jacket to a pair of printed high-waisted overall shorts. Feeling flirty? Grab a pair of scalloped edge medium-wash jean shorts and pair them with a simple white top. All of these items can be paired with basics you already have in your closet to achieve the perfect spring ensemble.

Raleigh Denim is the hot topic of conversation in the denim industry, fresh off the launch of their first downtown NYC denim boutique and a gorgeous spring 2013 presentation. While the buzz of having an in-house ferris wheel and insane interior architecture is keeping them on the tongues of every denim-lover in town, there’s also a matter of amazing new styles we can’t wait to get our hands on. A spectrum of dark-wash high waisted jeans and jean shorts for women are imminent. Some styles are softer and more romantic, while others are as crisp as can be.
Stay tuned for photos from the Raleigh Denim NYC store opening party & more from their SS13 line.

We think Miley Cyrus has the right idea for summer: wear as little as possible. She was spotted in a pair of high-waisted American Apparel shorts recently, paired with a simple black tube top (also AA) and some lace-up boots. If you love this pair you can score a similar pair of high-waisted denim shorts from Topshop and put this look into effect asap.

The only thing more exciting than going to a huge music festival? Browsing hundreds of festival style pics after the show wraps up! Okay, we digress. There’s something about the open air, pool parties, live music, and a bunch of friends dressed up in festival fan fare that you just can’t beat. But if you didn’t go to Coachella 2012, this is the next best thing. Check out some of the denim street style we loved from around the web.

We love fall, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still dream about summer! Vice Style‘s “Get Over It” editorial reminds us of that lazy period when the leaves are changing, but the air’s still warm and all the schoolkids are restless with the return to academia. Stylist Mischa Notcutt shows us how to channel that effortless nonchalance in high-waisted denim shorts paired with slouchy tees and denim vests whimsically thrown over tomboyish threads. Check out all the looks below—you can’t go wrong.

Combining trends can be tricky, but this London blogger risks it all and comes out (dare we say it) winning! We’re talking high waists and denim workshirts meeting in the middle. Literally. By throwing on a Zara denim work shirt, a a pair of Acne Jeans high-waisted shorts, and a chic Acne Jeans long strap shoulder bag, this two-tone outfit is simply timeless. The understated silhouette and color combo mean there’s plenty of room to experiment further with accessories and shoes. Looks like merging two hot trends aint so hard after all!
