A denim dress is versatile and easy to layer – you can wear it on its own with sandals on a warmer day, or you can put it under some sweaters and over a pair of tights and feel cozy. Aside from its wearability, denim dresses also happen to be very trendy this year. The fall fashion world is always all about denim, but this year, it’s even bigger. This year, denim isn’t only confined to jeans and jackets: it’s also popular in dress form, accessories, skirts, and even shoes. My favorite form is clearly the dress. Denim dresses can be super casual or a little bit more dressed up, and they have a really fun ’70s vibe to them while still feeling more modern.
