20 Fabulous Denim Dresses

Denim dresses are the quiet power-players of my closet—the kind of pieces that feel as effortless as your favorite jeans yet instantly pull a look together. Whether I’m chasing a nautical breeze this summer or layering up for crisp September evenings, a great denim dress anchors my outfit with that signature all-American charm. Think of them as a blank canvas: add strappy sandals and a woven tote for summer picnics, then swap in tall boots and a cozy cardigan when the temperatures dip. Ahead, I’m sharing the silhouettes I reach for on repeat—each one ready to take you from sun-splashed afternoons to sweater-weather season without missing a beat.

• My dress above is uber-flattering and a blank canvas for fun accessories year-round. I first wore it last September in England and reach for it all the time. Pair with my favorite raffia slides (on sale!) like I did below for an effortless summer look.
• I have this dress in white poplin, but might love the denim version more. The godets in the skirt give the whole dress fabulous movement, and the cap sleeves are beautiful. Would be very cute with these espadrilles. (20% off with "Stacie20".)
• The pocket details on this midi dress are so cute, plus it's on sale! (I love it on its own and would skip styling with a t-shirt underneath.)
• A denim midi skirt is a timeless staple, I'd start by styling it with a gingham top and espadrilles like the model. No notes.
• This shirtdress conjures images of serving up a strawberry shortcake at a backyard patio dinner. Cue the 90s summer nostalgia!
• I'd wear this dress with this basket bag and a red lip.
• The swingy silhouette and pretty dot fabric make this dress a great throw-on-and-go option for casual summer days.
• This denim dress has a soft, jersey-like drape and pretty stitched button placket. Pair with slides for a comfy summer day look.
• This light chambray dress is a great find for under $100.
• The perfect little tank dress for the hottest of days, accessorized with a fun collar necklace and wrap sandals.
• Pair this or this with a ball cap and a L.L.Bean tote for a day running around town.
• This elevated boho mini dress is calling for a big tote and wrap sandals.
• Leave it to Erdem to design the most ladylike denim dress possible.
• This beautiful eyelet mini dress can be worn as a dress, or leave it open and style it as a jacket over white trousers and a tank top.
• Not a dress girl? How about this chic jumpsuit?!
• This pleated skirt (20% off with "stacie20") is the perfect year-round, desk-to-dinner piece. Pair with a white button-up and big belt now, and cashmere turtleneck and boots later.
• Leave it to Zimmermann to make a denim dress feel super romantic. The caftan styling and pretty embroidery detail set this piece apart.
• I love the halter neckline and tie waist of this timeless sundress.
• This dress feels made for evenings around a campfire.
• This little denim dress would look perfect with a blue chunky wrap cardigan over it.
