11 timeless denim shirts that take the stress out of getting dressed

This everyday essential is working its way back into our wardrobes.

Our love affair with denim is showing no sign of slowing down. From high street jean styles to long-length maxi skirts, the failsafe fabric has found its way into our wardrobes in a multitude of ways. But one style that seems to get less press than the rest is the dutiful denim shirt, so we’re on a mission to make that change.

Working its way back into our wardrobes thanks to shirt-making saviours With Nothing Underneath, denim shirts are long overdue their moment in the sun. After all, we’re still clambering all over the cowboy style, and what pairs better with our now worn-in western-style boots? 

Double denim is more do-able when it’s in white

Of course, you needn’t kneel down to The Wild West ways of styling – just keep studs, fringing and buckles at bay – as there’s a whole host of options to choose from. Starting off with classic cuts that wouldn’t look out of place in a boardroom to more casual, fashion-forward fits better suited to a bar, we’ve found a denim shirt style to suit any occasion.

And whether you ham it up with a good helping of fashion’s favourite fabric like Britney’s daring double-denim look or pair it back by partnering with a leather skirt, tailored trousers or even lightweight leggings, we’re sure to have found at least one option you’ll love. Don’t believe us? Keep reading below to see if you too can be converted.
