From casual to elevated, and everything in between.

Denim is arguably one of the most versatile fabrics out there. Acid-wash, distressed, and stretchy, not to mention its laundry list of colorways. Denim outfits come in just as many options, including casual denim dresses. From maxi to mini, shredded to distressed, and pleated to pressed. This particular style also has early aughts vibes, and though there's no shortage of Y2K denim trends resurfacing—for better or for low-rise—that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of fresh ways to style a denim dress.

Because denim can feel a bit heavy, many of our top picks for denim dress outfits feature shorter hemlines, but if you prefer a denim maxi or midi moment, you’ll still find plenty to love. You can swap out any of the denim dress looks below for a denim skirt or a shirt in chambray or linen to create a similar effect. As one of the most ubiquitous fabrics, feel free to mix up our styling recommendations—whether pairing with a chunky platform sandal or tights and combat boots—and add your own personal flair.
