Styling Dark Denim for Spring
I've been really feeling dark denim this spring, paired with more denim, with white, with unexpected items like a leather pencil skirt or brightly-printed midi skirt. Faded denim and chambray is an obvious choice for spring; dark denim feels very modern.
I found this denim shirt on mega clearance at Banana Republic and love that it's richly colored but as soft as a well-worn stonewashed version. It's comfortable and it fits over my large bust surprisingly well!
Outfit details: Jeans: Erin Cuffed Ankle Jean c/o JAG | Shirt: Banana Republic | Shoes: Naturalizer ‘Dania' | Bag: Vintage Coach via eBay | Bracelets: Lifetherapy, had forever | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban
JAG sent me these jeans and I am IN LOVE. They are made from their Freedom Knit Denim, which looks like traditional jeans, but the inside looks more like loop terry and the denim stretches and moves with you for comfort and shape all day.
This is the third time I wore these jeans without washing, which is a testament to the bounceback-ability of this stretchy denim. They're perfect for dashing about weekends running errands, which is what I did in this look.

OK, I’m late to the party, but I had to comment because I like this outfit so much. I pinned it and I ran out and bought a new denim shirt! Perfectly accessorized, as always. I love the shoes. I love how you have your sleeves rolled up to soften the double dark denim monochrome and make it more “Springy.” Perfect, perfect. I love your blog.
You pull off the double denim well. think I might have this purse. Still. Somehow? I am an old school Coach hoarder for sure. If I don’t have this bag, I have one really similar. Love it.
It looks great. But ‘dashing about’ in those shoes!!! Respect. They would be taxi shoes for me and even then I wouldn’t feel safe.
LOL I can only do it because they’re Naturalizer. I’ve worn th to work a few times prior and can’t believe how cushioned and comfy they are for heels, and how secure I feel in them!
Just love this look on you. The warm brown leather accessories pop against the dark denim — so rich looking.
Thank you!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO loving this look.

Thanks Erin!
Fantastic look, Alison! I love those aviators on you too.
Thank you!
Those jeans look amazing!! I’m eager to try the resolution jeans from Gap – apparently the fabric and amount of stretch is great. Your hair looks awesome too – the curls are back! 🙂
The humidity is back in DC, the only benefit to it is my curls! 🙂
That shirt looks great and super comfy 🙂 I personally prefer double denim to be in different shades I think, but either way it makes a cute outfit for weekend errands!
Thanks Emily!
