Double denim’s been done. We still love it, but it’s nothing new, and at this point, you’re probably wondering how you can freshen up the look of a two-tone blue outfit. Here’s one way we love—a pair of big white platform shoes! White is a dramatic accent (more dramatic than black if you use it correctly), and when you’re working with one basic color in your look, a flash of white can mean the difference between an average ensemble and something worth street-style-snapping. In the market for a pair of white platforms? We love the Jeffrey Campbell Two Timer White Suede Perforated Wedge (on sale right now for $87.50).

Ethnic and tribal-inspired prints are at the forefront of what’s in right now. From Mayan and Incan to Aztec and Navajo (sometimes even a cool hybrid of all of them) there’s totally something for everyone. We know things can get a bit tricky when it comes to prints, so we’ve put together a couple of looks to give you some outfit direction. The key is to take one bold statement piece and style it with simple and updated basics like cropped tees and a good dose of denim for a bit of cool edge. Keep things fully on-trend by throwing in some western bits into the mix like a cool modern boot and accessories with an earthy bohemian flare.

We’ll be honest, we wear denim cut-off’s all year round. With a cute pair of tights and some fresh kicks, you have no excuse to push your jean shorts into a “summer” box and stuff them under your bed. But it’s true that there’s a certain magic that comes with the season of Daisy Duke‘s, and while there are still a few humid, sunny days left in the August-to-September transition, it’s a good idea to get the most out of them. We’ve put together three outfits we adore for some summer denim inspiration. Go forth, and wear denim shorts!

You can’t take the ’70s denim revival any further than this (unless you wear these with flare leg jeans). The Jeffrey Campbell “Lita” platform lace-up boot in denim distressed wash are a denim-loving party girl’s dream come true. And retailing at $162, they’re not unthinkable budget-wise. Their gorgeous covered platform and chunky wooden heel are made for clanking your way through the door of any social gathering and not only being the tallest girl in the room, but the coolest. These babies were made exclusively for Nasty Gal, so that’s the only place to grab a pair.
