When summer draws to a close, it’s time to reinvent our favorite summer pieces into more transitional looks before we dive into fall fashion. Light denim, printed blouses, espadrilles, and slides are the quintessentials pieces in casual denim outfits for end of summer. Denim is the canvas that comfortably takes us into cooler mornings and hot afternoons without retiring our favorite stylist elements, like raffia. If you prefer pants to shorts, these are the outfits for you. I lean towards pants, even in the heat, because they feel put-together and elevated for those casual summer events. Take a look at these easy denim looks for the chaotic stretch from now through back to school.
