The Controversial Item We Can’t Stop Wearing

In this era of dressing down, many fashion rules have gone right out the window. Wearing fancy pajamas on a video conference call? No prob. Sporting sweatpants seven days a week? Go right ahead. So we’ve decided to embrace one of the most laid-back tops around: denim shirts. Yup, you read that right.

Even with double (and triple) denim trending, many of us still weren’t able willing to jump on the all-jean bandwagon. But times have changed and so has our style. Jean shirts are actually the perfect way to look put-together while staying comfy. You can style them with matching or clashing jeans. Or use them to top off your midi skirt or Emily Ratajkowski-approved cargo pants.

Retailers are full of stylish denim shirts in a variety of fits. There is absolutely everything from super streamlined to oversized silhouettes. You can wear them as jackets come spring. Of course, the reverse holds true in winter. So go ahead and rock that jean jacket as a shirt. Denim shirts are also relatively affordable. You can find a quality version for under $30.

Here are the best denim shirts you’ll want to wear on repeat now and straight through spring. Heck, maybe even summer.
