HOW TO WEAR

If there’s one star piece you can rely on to see you through season after season, it’s a great denim shirt. Here’s how to wear one with any outfit, whatever the weather

Layer with a dress

We’ve all learned the stylists’ trick of wearing a roll neck under a dress, but what about layering a shirt over it? For a fashion-forward, feminine look, try wearing a denim shirt buttoned up over a midi dress, leaving the cuffs and collar to peek through. If you want to add definition at the waist, buckle up with skinny belt, then accessorise with simple sandals.
