“Blue jeans, white shirt, walked into the room you know you made my eyes hurt.” If Lana Del Rey wrote a song about it, then it must be the newest trend. The year of normcore has alleviated some of our greatest fashion fears, and though we have learned that less is more (more or less), classic ensembles still need a little embellishing. Wearing denim and a white shirt is a clean, easy solution when you feel as though you have nothing to wear and styling your basics the right way can keep you looking contemporarily polished. Here are 9 ways to wear your blue jean bottoms with your white tops this summer.
1. We can’t believe the trend is back, but every fashion editor, blogger, celebrity and trendsetter seems to be obsessed with the denim skirt this summer. Pairing a denim pencil skirt with a traditional white tee or blouse can look effortlessly elegant.

2. We’ve mentioned that we’re mad for plaid, so try putting a grunge twist to your cut-offs and basic tee by tying a plaid button up around your waist.

3. We may not be clicking our glittery, ruby heels to go back home this season, but opting for a chic red sandal hits a home run when paired with a classic look.

4. A favourite among style icons this summer seems to be the overall trend. For a less farm girl, more glam look, finish off your ensemble with a gorgeous statement necklace.
