We love our denim. We live in our denim.
So when Amy from Wardrobe Made Simple assured us that we could, in fact, wear denim to all things holiday this season as long as we followed a few basic rules we were like, “Um, yes please!”
We decided to let her show us the ropes, and the looks, that will let you take your denim anywhere you need to go this holiday season. She’s breaking down 4 simple looks for us, so no matter what style you’re going for, you’ve got a simple formula for pulling it off and looking amazing in your jeans this season.
With each image set, you’ll find the key elements to look for to pull it off, and Amy’s suggestions for where to wear each look!
Dress Up Your Denim!
First, stop: Denim.
Amy is wearing Citizens of Humanity Rocket Crop High Rise with Contrast Side Panels (these came from Willow + Mercer at 30Avenue). The darker wash on the contrasting side panels make this pair a little more chic than your everyday denim, plus Amy says that “crop fit is everywhere for fall, whether it’s a skinny or a wide leg.” You heard it here first, folks. Find similar styles here, here, here, and here.
Did we mention Amy’s also a mom? She gives us hope that we CAN actually pull this off.
WHERE TO WEAR // wear this look to brunch with girlfriends or a Holiday party. This look can easily go from day to night. 
WHERE TO WEAR // Wear this look to a corporate office party, or out to dinner with the in-laws. It’s super put together, and clean cut. The extra details from a statement necklace, gold buttons, and a fun clutch keep it unique and sophisticated at the same time.
So obsessed with the sequin jacket. It’s from Willow + Mercer but not this season. You can start searching for your own sequined/beaded urban glam jacket here , here, here, here, and here.
WHERE TO WEAR // this look is perfect for a night out with the girls, date night, or a family Holiday party!
WHERE TO WEAR // This one is perfect for the “friendsgiving” get together or a neighborhood holiday gathering. From cooking out with kids to a day date with the hubs, this look is understated but still put together. P.S. those fabulous earrings (the highlight of this fun look) are from Willow + Mercer, so you can pick up your own pair if you love them as much as we do.
And there you have it! 4 easy ways to Dress Up Your Denim this holiday season.
We hope this inspires you–and saves you from that dreaded “I have nothing to wear” feeling.
