12 Ways to Wear Denim Other than Jeans or Cutoffs

As leisure wear fades away into the sunset denim enjoys a new surge in popularity. Here are twelve unique ways to capitalize on the reoccurring trend.

Rather than wearing all denim, like Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears did on that fateful day in 2001, incorporate these pieces into your wardrobe more subtly. Unless you are a cowgirl, gold miner or biker that needs extra protection from durable clothing during office hours.

These twelve denim pieces are in order of highest to lowest price, so you don’t have to pay thousands of dollars for a reworked pair of blue jeans unless you really want to do so.

1. Shoulder Bag
