The instinct in summer is always to strip down. Hot summer days and muggy nights give way to a need for light, fresh and airy clothing. Enter denim. A staple in most of our wardrobes, darker denim can seem a bit, well, dark come 80 degree weather. Hence, white denim - a look that's light, fresh, and uber-stylish, especially this season. We're loving it with flowing chiffon blouses, light sheer tees a la Alexander Wang, and maybe even just a matching Hanes tee and some statement jewelry. Because white is technically the absence of color, it goes with just about anything. Pair the denim shorts below with a pair of short black motorcycle boots or a cute pair of sandals. The gladiator thing is a bit played out, so why not try your skinny jeans with a pair of floral keds instead? Perfect for a night out, a day at the beach, and even a concert beneath the stars; this is a trend we're hoping sticks around even after Labor Day has come and gone. The crisp and clean pieces below can all be found at Forever21 for under $30. Not bad for a trendy addition to your summer wardrobe.
