I’m an Editor With Classic Taste—4 Easy Denim Outfits I’ll Rely On This Spring

I don’t know about you, but I’m convinced this winter has gone on for longer than usual. Now normally this wouldn’t bother me—I’m a winter girl through and through—but over the past few years I’ve started to appreciate spring so much more, and I suspect the fashion has something to do with it.

As a fashion editor with a penchant for classic styles, I’ve really embraced the effortless sophistication that spring clothing can add to my wardrobe. From simple tailoring to versatile dresses, the season opens itself up to plenty of casual yet polished staples that work hard all year round. The one major player though has to be denim; I find that a few good jeans styles in my capsule wardrobe effortlessly helps bridge the gap between seasons, ensuring I’m ready for anything the great British weather has to throw at me.

ALIGNE is often my most relied-upon destination when it comes to great denim, and this season is no different. I’m spoilt for choice with the brand’s new drop, which features everything from dark-wash dresses and ’90s-inspired jeans shapes to beige dungarees, as well as classic denim skirts, making it a perfect choice if you’re in the market for a spring-wardrobe refresh with a timeless flair.

In preparation for the new season—and to show you just how versatile and enduring denim can be—I’ve created four chic outfits that seamlessly transition from the crisp days of winter into the bloom of spring, all with ALIGNE’s key styles at centre stage. Keep scrolling to shop the looks.
