In what universe do most fashion shows give you an idea of how clothes look on a real person? Take this Chanel Resort 2013 look–the model wears almost clownish makeup and a blue bob to complement her baby blue denim dress. It’s certainly a dramatic look, but for real life? Nobody’s gonna go for that. If you’re wondering what this frock looks like off the runway, just look to Diane Kruger. She wore the denim dress to Chanel’s Haute Couture Show in Paris, and we think it looks much more wearable. (Or at least, much more tame in comparison.)

While resort season is generally known for clothing conducive to poolside lounging and exotic vacations, when denim is involved it tends to be in the form of super wear-able styles and a dominance of light wash. We also saw some trends pop up, like wide legs and printed boyfriend jeans. Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite blue jean cameos in the resort 2013 collections.
