Denim summer

Summer style does not mean wearing little. A careful take on layering is one good way to style up a simple outfit.

Let's start with the evergreen denim jacket ($59) from Forever 21 as the key piece for layering your summer on a nautical note.

Set sail with one denim jacket in three styles.

GO SHORTS

A popular trend this summer is to go short - a high-waist option with a relax fit gives an illusion of a smaller waist. Work it with a long-sleeved boat neck striped top under your denim jacket.

Boat neck striped top ($29.90) from Uniqlo and bi-colour leather brogues ($329.90) from Ecco.

DOUBLE DENIM

You can never go wrong withthe fuss-free option of pairing your denim jacket with basic denim jeans.

Ditch those heels and go for ankle boots to get that masculine look.

OVER A DRESS

The polo dress, a twist from the classic polo T-shirt, is here to stay.

Freshen up by pairing it with a denim jacket. Less is more, so go without accessories except a scarf worn as headband.
